behind the creative

Meet Hannah | Owner & Founder

From the moment I first saw a horse, I knew that this was more than just a hobby – it was a profound connection that would shape my life's journey. Equestrianism isn't just something I do; it's woven into the very fabric of who I am. As I embarked on this path, I was resolute in my determination to blend my passion for horses with my career aspirations.

After graduation with a business degree from Clemson University in 2018, I knew there was only one quintessential destination for the winter equestrian season. I packed my bags and drove south to Wellington, where I embraced an internship with Equestrian Sport Productions. Behind the scenes of prestigious events like the Winter Equestrian Festival, the Adequan Global Dressage Festival, and Polo at the International Polo Club (now National Polo Center), I found myself immersed in the heartbeat of the equestrian world.

What began as an internship swiftly evolved into a full-time role. In this dynamic environment, I cultivated skills in sponsorship relations, website and social media management, email marketing, and the captivating realm of content creation. Amidst this diversity, my affinity for the creative space became vividly apparent. Before I knew it, I was spending most of my time ringside with a camera in hand, capturing moments that spoke volumes through imagery.

In the summer of 2023, I travelled abroad to Europe and attended the Longines Global Champions Tour in Paris and Monaco. Seeing new things and getting out of my comfort zone forced me to confront questions about my path forward and reflect on my aspirations, both in life and in my career. I ultimately arrived at the realization that my aspiration extended beyond advancing up a corporate ladder. I was also deeply motivated to empower fellow equestrians, aiding them in amplifying their narratives and bringing their stories vividly to life.
