About Us
Welcome to Griffin Equestrian, your premier destination for high-quality English and Western equestrian apparel, footwear, saddlery, horse supplements, and grooming products in New Zealand.
Our Story
Founded in 2020 by the Griffin Family, who recognized the need for a local saddlery shop within Central Otago, Griffin Equestrian was born out of Sophies lifelong passion for horses. Since then, Griffin Equestrian has become a trusted source for equestrian enthusiasts, riders, and those who appreciate Western-style clothing.
Evolving with Life's Changes
In the early years of our business, we proudly operated a storefront in the heart of Alexandra. This location served as a central hub for the equestrian community, providing easy access to our carefully selected range of products. However, life’s beautiful changes led us to a new chapter. Recently, Sophie welcomed a baby into her family and made the decision to operate Griffin Equestrian from home. This transition allows Sophie to balance her passion for equestrian retail with the joys and responsibilities of motherhood. Despite this change, our commitment to serving the equestrian community with top-notch products and service remains unwavering.
What Makes Us Unique
At Griffin Equestrian, we pride ourselves on offering a carefully curated selection of products. Sophie personally hand-selects and tests each item to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and performance. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that our customers receive the best products on the market. Additionally, we are proud to be the exclusive New Zealand retailer for several prestigious brands, providing our customers with unique options they won’t find anywhere else.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide equestrian enthusiasts with top-quality products and exceptional customer service. We strive to go the extra mile to ensure our customers are fully satisfied with their purchases, offering expert advice to help you find the perfect products for you and your horse.

Griffin Equestrian is more than just a retail store; we are an integral part of the equestrian community. We actively engage with our community by participating in local equestrian events, trade shows, and through our dynamic presence on social media.
