THE "BOARD OF DIRECTORS"
We don't have a board of directors. We have Stephen.
Most equestrian brands are run by investment firms who think a "piaffe" is a type of coffee. Solo is run by a dressage rider who has spent his entire life obsessing over the mechanics of connection.
The Origin Story (The Short Version) I’m Stephen Forbes. Before I started designing bridles, I was riding full-time. I trained with the giants of the sport, Hof Kasselmann, The Peters, and I learned one universal truth: If the equipment gets in the way, the conversation stops.

The Solo Philosophy: We believe a bridle should never interrupt the conversation.
Why We Are Different
- We Are Anatomical Nerds: We obsess over nuchal ligaments and facial nerves so you don't have to.
- We Are Fast: We ship out the door in 24 hours. Usually faster.
- We Are Real: This isn't a faceless corporation. It’s a passion project that got out of hand.
Talk To The Founder Seriously. I handle the support. If you're staring at your horse's head and don't know which bridle fits, take a photo and text it to me.
1-888-SOLO-EQUINE (1-888-765-6378) (Yes, it goes straight to my phone).
Welcome to the conversation. - Stephen
