INTRODUCING #TEAMHUFF

Huff was born out of passion for horses and our sport. One that leads to a lifestyle rather than a hobby. This lifestyle, comes with ups and downs. Quitting is never an option and somehow we continue to plough on regardless of what is thrown at us. Through rain and shine, injury and recovery, winning and losing – it all makes the sport what it is and us equestrians, who we are.

To ride this rollercoaster, either as an amateur or a professional, you have to be a certain type of person. The type that allows this force to drive them onwards and upwards, everyday towards their goals despite the setbacks.

And love every single minute of it!

So what better way to represent this passion? Through some of the most passionate people in our sport. True Ambassadors.

#TEAMHUFF, all live the lifestyle behind the support. They understand it’s not all about the glory, the glamour and the winning. But it’s about a lifestyle. Led by their passion, driving them to work hard and reach their goals. We are thrilled to have four professional riders who share our passion and love of the Huff brand, to help tell our story.

Meet #TEAMHUFF. Our sponsored riders.
