Soleá Equestrian…coming full circle.

Being an Orange County native, graduating High School at Dana Hills and growing up in Laguna Niguel, I was no stranger to San Juan Capistrano, Sycamore Trails, Blenheim Horse Shows and the equestrian culture that was at my back doorstep. An artist at heart, I was called away to Europe soon after to pursue a Culinary degree in Cuisine and Pastry, graduating with the Gran Diplome from Le Cordon Bleu in London. While working in England and Sweden, I was exposed to top level showjumping, and after 6 years of working as a chef, I returned home to find myself working with horses and starting my own business in an industry I have grown to love! I started Soleá Equestrian in 2013, and premiered with my mobile boutique at what was then, Hits Thermal in California, with a vision and a plan!

I knew that there were amazing European products that weren’t being represented on the west coast and I set out to change that by making them available to the showjumping community here in California!  I was the first tack shop to bring in the ever so popular, Parlanti Passion ready to wear boot line and the rest is history! They have become the most adored and worn riding boot in the industry. Soleá also established a strong following for Kep helmets and Poponcini bits!  They are all now staples in the horse show scene in the US, and I’m happy to see those amazing brands become such a success! I continue that same goal and pursue the same vision today, bringing in new safety vests and innovative products that Soleá has become known for in the equestrian community.

Today, Soleá is continuing to think out of the box, not follow trends and make available the best quality products with attention to detail and craftsmanship, and at the best price available to my clients! I have established wonderful relationships with many equestrian lines in Europe and abroad, and if you happen to not see a brand on the website that you are looking for, please do no hesitate to ask, as I will do my best to find it for you! I have been measuring boots for a quite some time, and consider it one of my specialties…perhaps it is due to all the meticulous pastries I have made over the years and am a perfectionist at heart. Soleá specializes in custom, and I would be more than happy to help with any questions you may have regarding fit! If you would like to be measured and fitted properly, please contact me. I can also convert your current sizes to any brand that you would like to have that I carry! Soleá can be found on the Hunter/Jumper show circuit on the West Coast!

Kindest Regards,

Alex
