About us.
NZ Equestrian Supplies is a New Zealand owned family business established by Jessica and Jolene Brechin of North Canterbury.
"The ability to conquer one's self is no doubt the most precious of all things that sport bestows."
New Zealand Equestrian Supplies was established in 2021 by Jolene and Jessica Brechin who frequently found themselves spending hours searching the country and often overseas for essential products and brands that often weren’t in stock at local and national saddleries.
Building on foundations of generational knowledge, Jolene grew up successfully competing in Showing, Dressage and Eventing and alongside her husband Paul (also a keen equestrian) this passion has passed onto daughter Jessica who has also competed across the same Equine disciplines with top level showing success having competed multiple times at the NZ Horse of the Year show as well as the Grand Nationals in Australia. Today their passion is focused on Showing and Dressage and now there is a third generation of Brechin expertise already well on her way to the top. Olivia (3) is pony mad and a massive part of how NZ Equestrian Supplies came to be, Jolene and Jessica are excited to give back to the sport they love by nourishing and helping competitors with the best brands and advice. Jess also is very busy nurturing other young riders by offering riding lessons, and her passion lies in teaching children to ride correctly from the very beginning.
Team Brechin work tirelessly to elevate the sport of Showing in New Zealand. In addition to NZ Equestrian Supplies, Jo and Jess also host the Brecland Park Equestrian shows that run throughout the year in Canterbury. These shows are a massive undertaking for Jess and Jo but the reward is always high as the events see competitors from all over the country come together to have fun with their horses and ponies.

Jo and Jess’s knowledge and experience brings a holistic approach to producing healthy happy show athletes. For the horses and ponies it all starts from the inside out, good nutrition and internal health is number one followed by a healthy, supple physique and then the fun part is the behind the scenes grooming and then on show day it’s all about the turnout. For the rider… success also starts at home with a balanced, beautiful posture and position in the saddle via products such as the Equisk range and then it’s all about feeling and looking your best with top quality, affordable and durable riding wear for both at home and in the competition arena. NZ Equestrian Supplies is a tell all service where Jo and Jess share with you their proven recipe for success using only tried and tested but affordable, high quality brands.
