About Equisk
Equisk is an Australian-owned equestrian brand founded in 2022 by Clara, a riding coach based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland. The brand was born from a simple but powerful idea: helping riders be the best they can be while making training more enjoyable for both horse and rider. Clara originally launched with a single product — the now ever-popular SteadyHands riding gloves — which she designed to help her own students. The first prototype was simply gardening gloves linked together with velcro, but the difference it made to her students’ riding was immediate and remarkable.
Many iterations later, SteadyHands was officially born and became an instant hit with riders worldwide. The range has since expanded to include EngagedRider Resistance Bands, RideStraight position shirts, TotalCool boots and a range of accessories and training bundles. Equisk products are designed with innovation and excellence in mind, for riders who believe in continual improvement, are committed to better horse welfare, and expect the highest standard from themselves and their gear. The brand is particularly popular with riding coaches, who report significant development in their students’ riding skills. Olympians and international-level riders across all disciplines praise Equisk for quality, innovation and impact.
