About Us
Brigitte Mitchell: Founder and advocate for equine and rider inclusivity.
Brigitte Mitchell, founder of Equine Collective, brings over two decades of experience and passion to the equestrian industry. With over 20 years of experience in the equine industry, every aspect of this journey has revolved around horses—from training and coaching to operating a boarding barn and professional saddle fitting. This passion has led to the creation of an equine-focused business that combines expertise with entrepreneurship while balancing life as a mother, wife, and equestrian professional.
Proudly Canadian-owned and operated, Equine Collective is committed to providing affordable, high-quality equestrian products that enhance the bond between horse and rider. Offering a carefully curated selection of saddles, saddle pads, girths, stirrups and leathers, horse boots, training aids, leather care products, grooming essentials, helmets, and saddle covers, our goal is to ensure both horse and rider achieve peak performance, comfort, and longevity—without breaking the bank.
Whether in the arena or on the trail, Equine Collective is dedicated to supporting riders with affordable and reliable equestrian equipment, expert guidance, and a passion for the equestrian lifestyle.
Our Mission: Inclusive, High-Quality Equestrian Solutions
Equine Collective's goal is to help riders and their horses look and feel their best while keeping equestrian products affordable and accessible.
This venture is about more than just products—it’s about creating a space where riders can enjoy the sport in any capacity while ensuring horses are comfortable and well cared for. Providing high-quality, stylish, and inclusive equestrian essentials at an affordable price remains at the heart of The Equine Collective.
Now featuring The Equine Collective brand of saddle pads, ear bonnets, and horse boots in beautifully coordinated colors, the focus is on classic design, inclusivity, and accessibility. In addition to the in-house collection, the store proudly supports other Canadian & female-owned businesses, including Christian Lowe Leather Care, Ecogold, and Leveza, with more to come.
