Hi I’m Nina !

I’m a Belgian artist and created my equestrian apparel and stationery brand in 2019. When I first started, I thought there was pride in doing everything by myself and not leaning on anyone. Then I realized my family, my animals and my friends are the exact reason I do what I do.

Those who were lucky enough to meet Zaya and Gazelle know this is where my inspiration and motivation come from.

Growing up with Gazelle was like having a built in bestfriend to share life with, a very funny, high maintenance, needy and expressive bestfriend. Zaya, Gazelle’s mom was a challenge, she broke down everything I thought I knew about horses. She tested me and thaught me patience, timing, compassion and resilience.

They thaught me that horses aren’t made to do, they’re made to be and I made it my life’s mission to love them for exactly who they were.

They were once in a lifetime horses and I was lucky enough to be their person for their time on earth, they made me who I am and they made this brand into what it is.

This brand is a one person operation, but I’m surrounded by the kindest most supportive craziest people who might not know a Dutch warmblood from a shetland but who will smile and nod when I talk for hours, who’ll vote on their favorite designs before it goes live and brainstorm the craziest names for my brand. It went from the weirdest mumbojumbo to agreeing in the end, this is my heart and soul, it’s my entire life packed up nicely in a brand and it cannot carry any other name than my own. Nina Blasband
