There’s a photo on your phone you’ll never delete.

Your horse’s ear tilted toward you. A shadow across their neck at sunset. That messy forelock you keep meaning to trim but never do.

Most of the time, that photo stays… in your phone.

But what if it didn’t?

What if your horse could be with you every ride — not just in memory, but right there on your sleeve, your shoulder, or across your back?

That’s exactly what our new custom riding tops are designed to do.

And soon? The same magic comes to phone cases, too.

Why a Custom Riding Top Is Different From Any Other Gear You Own

You already own riding clothes that perform.

You own tops that wick moisture, that don’t chafe, that survive the barn.

But here’s what most riding gear can’t give you:

A story that belongs only to you.

A custom RiderAtelier top isn’t just another piece in your rotation.
It’s the horse who taught you patience.
The rescue who finally trusted you.
The pony your kids learned to canter on.

That’s not fashion.
That’s wearable memory.

How It Works (Three Simple Steps, No Design Skills Needed)

We designed this process for riders — not graphic designers.

Step 1 — Choose Your Sleeve Length

Start with what works for your riding season:

• Short sleeve — perfect for summer rides, arenas, and hot barn aisles

• Long sleeve / sun shirt — UV protection for long trail days or sunny jump lessons

Both made with the same performance fabrics you already trust from RiderAtelier.

Step 2 — Choose Your Size (S–5XL)

We believe riding gear should fit real bodies — not just sample sizes.

That’s why our custom tops are available in S through 5XL, with a fit designed for movement, not just standing still.

Not sure which size is right?
Our size chart includes actual garment measurements, and you can always email us for a personal recommendation.

Step 3 — Upload Your Photo

This is where the magic happens.

You can upload:

• A profile shot of your horse’s head

• A full-body riding shot

• A detail — ear, eye, hoof, shadow

• Even a drawing your child made of “our horse”

That’s it.
Choose sleeve → choose size → upload photo.

We handle the rest.

What Happens After You Order

Once you’ve placed your order, our design team takes over:

1. We place your image into a layout that works for riding 

2. We print, finish, quality-check, and ship

Each top is made to order — just for you.

The Three Ways Riders Are Using Custom Tops (So Far)

We soft-launched this with a small group of riders. Here’s what they created:

1. The Memorial Top

“I lost my gelding last winter. Now I ride in a top with his photo over my heart. He’s still with me in every canter.”

2. The “My Horse, My Logo” Top

Lesson riders, working students, and amateur competitors are putting their own horse where a sponsor logo would go. It’s subtle. It’s confident. It’s entirely theirs.

3. The Gift That Made Someone Cry

Birthday. Retirement. “Just because.”
A custom top with someone’s horse is the kind of gift people open and immediately get quiet — because they didn’t know they needed it until they saw it.

Coming Next: Custom Phone Cases (Same Magic, Smaller Package)

We heard you.

Not every ride needs a full top. Sometimes you just want your horse on the thing you look at 47 times a day.

So we’re launching custom phone cases soon.

Same simple process:
Choose case model → upload your horse photo → approve design → done.

Perfect for:

• Young riders who want their pony on everything

• Barn managers who can’t wear fragile jewelry

• Anyone who wants their horse with them at work, school, or the grocery store

Launch date coming very soon. Stay tuned.

What Custom Tops Are NOT (Be Honest)

I want to be clear so you’re not disappointed.

This is not:

• A photo-realistic billboard (subtle artistic rendering works better on fabric)

• A cheap iron-on transfer (these are dye-sublimated into the fabric — they move and breathe with you)

• A same-week rush order (each top is made to order; quality takes a few days)

This is:

• Thoughtful, lasting, rideable art

• A way to keep your horse close without wearing a bulky locket

• The most meaningful piece of riding gear you’ll ever own

A Note on What Makes a Good Upload

You don’t need a professional camera. You just need:

✅ High resolution (not pixelated when zoomed)
✅ Good contrast (horse stands out from background)
✅ Natural light (sunrise/sunset is gorgeous; flash in a dark barn is not)

Not sure if your photo works?
Email it to us before you order. We’ll tell you honestly — yes, no, or “try this instead.”

The Bottom Line

You already have thousands of photos of your horse.

This is the one you can ride in.

Choose your sleeve. Choose your size. Upload your photo.

Every time you zip it up, you’re not just wearing a top.
You’re wearing the horse who changed you.

And soon?
You’ll be able to carry them in your pocket, too.
