Still Worth Listening: Building Ride Every Stride – Our Conversation on the Equestrian B2B Podcast

At Ride Every Stride, we believe every business has a story. While our products have evolved over the years, our commitment to quality craftsmanship, exceptional service, and supporting the equestrian community has remained the same.

In December 2024, our President, Linda Davey, had the opportunity to join the Equestrian B2B Podcast hosted by EQ Businesswomen to discuss the journey behind Ride Every Stride. Looking back, it’s incredible to see how much has changed while staying true to the values that built our company.

From an Idea to a Growing Brand

Like many small businesses, Ride Every Stride began with a simple idea: create premium custom products designed specifically for the equestrian industry.

What started with custom horse clothing and embroidered products has grown into a company trusted by horse shows, trainers, barns, equestrian organizations, and corporate clients across North America.

During the podcast, Linda shares the challenges of entrepreneurship, balancing business growth with family life, and the importance of building genuine relationships with customers. Rather than focusing solely on selling products, Ride Every Stride has always focused on helping clients bring their ideas to life.

Whether it’s a championship cooler, a custom engraved award, a beautifully branded stable setup, or team apparel, every project begins with understanding the client’s vision.

The Importance of Relationships

One of the biggest themes discussed during the podcast is relationships.

Many of our clients have partnered with Ride Every Stride for years. We are incredibly grateful to work with horse shows, equestrian associations, trainers, and barns that continue to trust us season after season.

These long-term partnerships have helped shape our business and inspire us to continually improve our products and services.

How Ride Every Stride Has Grown Since the Interview

Since recording the podcast, Ride Every Stride has continued to expand in exciting ways.

Today, we proudly offer:

·      Premium custom horse show prizes and awards

·      Engraved perpetual trophies and presentation pieces

·      Championship coolers and custom horse blankets

·      Stable accessories including stall drapes, valances, and stable décor

·      Custom saddle pads, bonnets, and equestrian apparel

·      Corporate branded merchandise and promotional products

·      Private online stores for equestrian organizations, teams, and events

We’ve also expanded our production capabilities, allowing us to complete more embroidery, engraving, sublimation, and customization in-house. This gives us greater control over quality, turnaround times, and the finished product our clients receive.

Continuing to Support the Equestrian Community

One thing that hasn’t changed is our passion for the equestrian industry.

Ride Every Stride is proud to work alongside horse shows, associations, barns, charities, and organizations throughout Canada and the United States. We understand that every event, championship, and brand has its own identity, and we take pride in creating products that reflect that professionalism.

Our goal has always been simple: create products that people are proud to present, proud to wear, and proud to remember.

A Conversation That Still Inspires Us

Listening back to the podcast today is a reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much opportunity still lies ahead.

Entrepreneurship is never a straight line. There are challenges, lessons, and countless moments of growth. But every step has reinforced why we do what we do: helping our clients celebrate achievement, build their brands, and create memorable experiences through beautifully crafted custom products.

We’re incredibly thankful to EQ Businesswomen for inviting Linda to share the Ride Every Stride story and for highlighting women in the equestrian business community.
