Spartan Equestrian Products is a family business run by brother and sister Grant and Allison and Mum Iris.

From an early age both children took riding lessons, at the ages of 7 and 10 got their first ponies and have been hooked on horses ever since !

With a fashion designing mother and a tailoring father making fabulous clothing for them and their ponies to wear it was inevitable that when the children left school their parents manufacturing business would change from children’s wear into equestrian ! Spartan Equestrian Products started supplying equestrian retailers in 1983.

Now Allison and Grant split their time between travelling the country visiting their customers and sourcing new products for the season ahead. Iris is kept very busy in her “retirement” overseeing the factory, ordering fabrics and materials and designing new lines.

Although they have had horses with them constantly (once they arrive, they stay! ) both Grant and Allison have been out of the saddle for quite a few years.
