Brand History – German Precision and Passion
Eskadron was founded in Germany in 1982 as a brand specializing in high-quality horse equipment. From the very beginning, the brand's philosophy was based on three pillars: the highest quality materials, functional design, and attention to every detail. The founders, themselves passionate about equestrianism, understood that equipping a horse is not only a matter of aesthetics, but above all, comfort, safety, and performance.
Over the decades, Eskadron has developed its technologies and expanded its offerings, becoming one of the most recognizable brands in the equestrian world. Its distinctive diamond-shaped logo and seasonal color collections have become a symbol of quality and style, recognizable in training and competition arenas worldwide.
Today, Eskadron is a global brand present in over 60 countries, whose products are chosen by both amateurs and top Olympic athletes. The brand remains true to its German roots – all products are designed in Germany, and many are also manufactured there, where each unit undergoes rigorous quality control.
Seasonal Collections – Style for Every Season
One of Eskadron's most distinctive features is its seasonal color collections, which introduce fresh, fashionable colors and patterns each season, allowing riders and their horses to look stylish all year round.
Seasonal collections include:
- Spring/Summer Collection – fresh, pastel colors and vibrant shades perfect for the warmer months. Bright blues, delicate pinks, lush greens, and vibrant corals.
- Fall/Winter Collection – deep, rich colors and elegant shades for the colder months. Burgundy, navy blue, bottle green, plum, and classic browns.
- Limited Collections – exclusive special editions with unique colors, patterns and details, available only for a limited time.
- Thematic collections – special lines related to sporting events, brand anniversaries or collaborations with top riders.
Each seasonal collection is carefully color-coordinated, allowing you to create a complete, harmonious set of equipment – from saddle pads, through protectors and bandages, to rugs and accessories.
