ABOUT EQUESTRIAN WELLNESS
Elevating the Well-Being of the Equestrian Athlete
At Equestrian Wellness, we believe in the power of simple, intentional self-care — especially for those who spend their lives in the saddle. Our products are thoughtfully crafted to meet the needs of equestrians, but made for everyone seeking clean, botanical-based wellness.
​
Founded in 2016, Equestrian Wellness is a modern apothecary dedicated to enhancing the rider's lifestyle through clean skincare, supportive rituals, and wellness education. Our handcrafted offerings are more than products — they’re tools to help riders reconnect with their bodies, replenish their energy, and practice daily care with purpose.
Our Story
The idea for Equestrian Wellness was born out of necessity — and love. As a lifelong equestrian and certified holistic nutritionist, I struggled to find skincare and wellness products that could withstand the real-life conditions we face: dirt, sweat, sun, dry and chapped skin, sore muscles, and long days outdoors. I needed more than just clean ingredients — I needed effective formulas that worked as hard as I did.
​
That need became a mission: to create a collection of truly clean, luxurious, and functional products for equestrians — without compromise.
​
Every item in our collection is:
-
Handcrafted in small batches by skilled herbalists
-
Made with organic, wildcrafted, and natural ingredients
-
Designed to support real skin and body challenges riders face
-
Rooted in the philosophy that “if it’s on you, it’s in you.”
Our Stable to City products bring together time-honored herbal knowledge with modern, minimalist formulation.
Whether you're headed to the barn, the city, or somewhere in between, Equestrian Wellness makes it easier to carry wellness with you — wherever you go.
Meet the Founder
Valerie Breslow, CCN, CHHC, AADP
Founder, Equestrian Wellness | Holistic Nutritionist | Amateur Rider
​
I grew up in Miami, Florida, where my earliest and most enduring passion was riding horses. Horses became the heart of my identity — and the stable, my sanctuary. But my journey into wellness came later, shaped by personal health challenges and a growing desire to live better, feel stronger, and care for myself with the same intention I gave to my horses.
That search led me to study holistic nutrition, and eventually, to merge my two passions — wellness and the equestrian lifestyle — into one purpose-driven brand.
Today, I work with equestrians of all levels — from amateur riders to Olympic athletes — helping them develop greater awareness of their unique health needs and achieve balance in a demanding sport. Over the past 12 years, I’ve supported clients across all walks of life, and I bring that same compassionate, functional approach into every product we create.
​
I’m endlessly curious about how cultures around the world nourish themselves, and I’m a foodie at heart — always exploring new ingredients, new preparations, and new ways to connect food, body, and mind. I believe wellness isn’t just about discipline — it’s about joy, too.
​
I live in Asheville, North Carolina, with my husband, our three rescue pups, and my four-legged heart horse, Le Grand. Together, they remind me daily of what matters most: slowing down, staying grounded, and making space for connection.
A Brand Built for the Modern Rider
Equestrian Wellness isn’t just skincare. It’s a lifestyle philosophy — one that celebrates the resilience, strength, and softness of riders. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice luxury or quality to find products that are clean, conscious, and effective.
​
With every balm, oil, mist, and salve, we hope to bring riders a moment of rest and a return to themselves — even in the middle of a busy day at the barn.
​
We know you’re not just caring for a horse. You’re running a business, raising a family, or traveling the country. You deserve products that support your entire life — from the stable, to the city, and everywhere in between.
Subtle Coaching Integration
Though Equestrian Wellness now focuses primarily on apothecary products, my background in functional health coaching and wellness consulting continues to inform every formula and product line. From time to time, I offer private coaching, “Coach on Demand” sessions, and Barn Call wellness visits for select clients. You’ll find traces of that holistic philosophy throughout our products and brand messaging — a deep understanding of how body, mind, and environment all work together.
