HANNAH CHILDS EQUESTRIAN ANNOUNCES UK AND EUROPE LAUNCH AND APPOINTS OUTSTANDING UK SALES TEAM (download press release here)

Acclaimed US Equestrian Fashion Brand builds on seven years of success with an ambitious expansion into the UK and European markets. 

Hannah Childs Lifestyle, the distinctive American equestrian apparel brand celebrated for its elevated design, performance led quality and authentic connection with the modern equestrian woman, is set to launch across the UK and EMEA under the new regional brand name Hannah Childs Equestrian. 

Following seven years of strong growth and success in the USA, the expansion marks a significant new chapter for the business. The launch will bring the brand’s carefully curated collection of competition, training and equestrian lifestyle apparel to specialist retailers across the UK, Ireland and Europe, supported by an experienced strategic sales team. 

Founded by equestrian and fashion designer Hannah Childs, the brand was born from a clear and deeply personal vision. At just 16, Hannah wrote in her application to fashion design school that her dream was to create an equestrian apparel brand that would make women of all shapes and sizes feel beautiful. After almost a decade designing within the fashion industry, from emerging businesses to globally recognised brands, she launched Hannah Childs Lifestyle and brought that ambition to life. 

Today, the brand combines polished, feminine style with technical function and genuine versatility. Its collections are created for women whose lives move naturally between the competition arena, training yard and everyday life: premium pieces designed to perform, to move and to give the wearer confidence, freedom and individuality. 

Brand Mission Statement: For women who live with intention, expression, and ease. 

At its heart, Hannah Childs Equestrian is far more than an apparel label. It is a boutique, female-founded brand with an authentic equestrian lifestyle story and a powerful ethos: women should be able to ride, work and live on their own terms, wearing quality clothing that allows them to feel comfortable, expressive and entirely themselves. This sense of purpose, together with thoughtful design, strong product quality and a highly engaged US following, provides an exceptional foundation for international growth. 

The UK and European expansion is being led by Claire Galer, UK & European Strategic Consultant, working alongside Hannah Childs Equestrian, Founder and CEO Hannah Childs, and a newly appointed UK sales team: 

Lyndsay Langdon – Sales Agent, UK South 

Lyn Lawrence – Sales Agent, UK North, Scotland and Ireland 

Lyndsay has expressed: "I’m incredibly excited to join a female-founded brand whose heart is entirely in empowering riders and creating confidence through clothing. The collection is intentional in its purpose to support the equestrian community to feel beautiful and capable and I’m thrilled to be involved in the UK chapter of the brand story.” 

Lyn is full of enthusiasm for the UK Brand Launch and says: “I’m excited to join a brand that shares my passion for equestrian sport, competition and innovation. Contributing to the launch of a new riding brand in the UK is an opportunity to help shape its reputation and build lasting connections within all aspects of the industry, as a competitor, and representative of this exciting, independent and competitive range. We are all going to relish the success of this stunning brand, so let’s all enjoy the journey ahead to cement HANNAH CHILDS as the brand of choice” 

Lyndsay and Lyn bring extensive equestrian trade experience, strong industry relationships and a shared commitment to high standards of service, partnership and sustainable retail growth. Together, the team will provide specialist trade customers with knowledgeable, personal support as the brand establishes its retail network across the market. 

Claire Galer said: “Hannah Childs Equestrian enters the UK and European markets with everything we could wish for in a launch: an outstanding product collection, a compelling and authentic founder story, a clearly defined brand identity and seven years of proven success in the USA. 

“I am incredibly proud of the team we have built. Lyndsay and Lyn are highly experienced, professional and exceptionally well connected within the equestrian industry. Together with Hannah, we share a clear vision for developing the brand with energy, integrity and a genuine focus on long-term retailer partnerships. We cannot wait to take the collection on the road and introduce it to the UK and wider European trade.” 

Hannah Childs, Founder and CEO, added: "I'm beyond delighted to expand our team into the UK with a group of women who are not only experts in their fields but are purveyors of living with ease and confidence in their full expression." 

From 1st September 2026, Lyndsay and Lyn will be on the road with the launch collection, meeting equestrian retailers and presenting samples across their respective regions. 

The first major UK trade presentation will take place at BETA International in September 2026, where Hannah Childs Equestrian has secured a prominent stand space. Trade buyers, retailers and industry partners are warmly invited to visit the stand, discover the launch collection in person and meet Claire, Lyndsay and Lyn. 

The international rollout will continue at SPOGA Horse 2027 in February, where the brand has secured exhibition space and participation in the event’s Fashion Walk/Fashion Show throughout the show, giving buyers from across the global equestrian trade the opportunity to experience the collection the Hannah Childs Equestrian story and meet Hannah in person. 

Retailers interested in stocking Hannah Childs Equestrian, arranging an appointment with the sales team or meeting the brand at BETA International or SPOGA Horse are invited to register their interest.
