Our Story

In 2022, I took a leap of faith and brought home a rescue horse — an 11-year-old thoroughbred mare named Sox. Her previous owners had run out of time and options, and she was at risk of being put down.

I fell completely in love with Sox and hoped to bring her back to health and take her competing. But life had other plans. Her health issues were more severe than we ever expected: joint mobility problems, kissing spine, mud fever, and behavioral challenges.

Caring for Sox is what sparked this entire project. Through her, I realized just how hard it was to find the quality products here in New Zealand that I was used to from Europe, and how passionate I was becoming about supplements — the very ones that helped turn Sox from a frail, neglected horse into a shining, healthy mare.

That’s how Horsempire was born. A shop where local riders could finally access premium gear from Italy and around the world, and discover the best supplements to support their horses’ health through every season.

Horsempire isn’t just a shop. It’s a community. A place focused on the wellbeing of horses and the riders who love them.
