Our Story
Two friends. A lot of horses. And a questionable amount of enthusiasm for dressing them up.
Buckskins Co. started with two friends, Nikki and Carly, who shared a love for horses, a creative streak, and the firm belief that horse apparel could use a little more personality.
The idea was simple: make seriously cute, incredibly comfortable stretch hoods for horses. The kind that actually fit, feel amazing, hold up to barn life, and come in prints that make you look twice.
We had the ideas. We had the designs. We had the enthusiasm. What we didn't have was a manufacturer who could make them at a price that made sense. Minor detail.
So Buckskins Co. went on the back burner. Life happened, years passed, and the horses continued wearing perfectly ordinary things.
But some ideas have a way of sticking around.
Fast-forward to today, and we're giving Buckskins Co. another go. Same two friends, same slightly excessive enthusiasm, and an even bigger vision for what this little brand can become.
We're starting with stretch hoods made from buttery-soft, breathable fabrics, with fun, unexpected prints and the kind of quality we'd want for our own horses. And we've got plenty more ideas where those came from.
We're horse people. We know horses are hard on things, rarely appreciate what we buy them, and have absolutely no respect for how much time we spend grooming them. We love them anyway.
Buckskins Co. is our way of combining a genuine love for horses with creativity, quality, and a healthy sense of humor.
Because horses are expensive, unpredictable, and occasionally a little dramatic. Their wardrobe might as well be fun.
