About Us
Equestrianism isn't just a sport or a hobby. It's a way of life. At Arch & Alex, our mission is to bring to our fellow equestrians products that reflect this.
It's a lifestyle that is uniquely rewarding but also immensely demanding, so our rider wear has to be comfortable for long hours in the yard and practical and technical enough to keep us comfortable in all weather conditions. Time is always precious for the equestrian, so we look for unique and inspiring designs capable of transcending beyond the yard with style.
The current focus of our range is clothing for everyday riding wear that is stylish and designed to stand the test of time. We cater to those seeking a vibrant, sporty look with our Tottie brand, those looking for a more sophisticated, timeless style with our Caldene brand, and those who prefer a practical and contemporary look with our Harry Hall brand. And while our exclusive clothing brands represent diverse styles, the benchmark in all our products is uncompromising quality without the expensive price tag.
Although our current range is perfect for everyday wear, both on and off the horse, we are also the exclusive stockists in Australia of Caldene's stunning competition wear range. So if you are looking for something just a little bit special for the competition arena, chances are we will be able to source it for you.
It goes without saying that our equine partners deserve the best too. With this in mind we have sourced quality horse rugs and boots, as well as dog accessories for our canine friends, from Masta. We also have a select range of gorgeous horse gear from Caldene, and everyday essentials for around the stable from Masta.

BRAND AMBASSADORS
In 2018 we will be proudly supporting the following riders who have, some might say foolishly, agreed to fly the Arch & Alex flag:
Katie Gray
Katie has a background in eventing but is currently campaigning her sweet WB x TB, Kokomo Bravo ("BK") in dressage. BK has won a swag of ribbons at HRCAV level and Katie's aim for 2017 is to work up through the EA grades. Katie combines her riding aspirations with a very busy schedule as a working mum of two small kids. We think she's pretty damn inspirational and yet also representative of so many of our wonderful customers who manage to juggle their busy lives with participation at some level in the sport that makes them happy. We can't wait to cheer on Katie in a loud and probably slightly inappropriate manner at lots of events this year. We also look forward to smooches from the incredibly loveable BK.

Robyn Todd
Robyn is a keen showjumping competitor, who has been involved in horses for longer than she can remember, from Pony Club up to EA level. Robyn is currently competing on two stunning and cheeky chestnut Selle Francais horses with super cool names. Rodeo Drive LC ("Nippur"), who is currently jumping Mini Prix (1.40m) and his younger brother Fifth Avenue LC ("Buster"), who is having his second season out competing and going well up to 1.05m. Robyn loves keeping up with new products and trends in the equestrian market, so it is no wonder she fits into the Arch & Alex extended family so well. Robyn even has her own long established business Snaffle-It Horse Supplies and her husband, a photographer, is the keen eye behind Snaffle-It Snap Shots. We are looking forward to seeing what 2018 holds for Robyn and her two flying redheads. |
We don't have any immediate plans to take on any more brand ambassadors. But we're not really ones for planning these things. If you absolutely love our products (and yes, it helps if you have actually bought and tried some), love your horse/s, have a brilliant sense of humour and like to pave your own way, you may just fit right in with us! To us, personality and integrity is more important than the level you ride at or your number of social media followers. So if this sounds like you, get in touch with us - we'd love to hear from you.
How to buy
|
We are passionate about delivering our products to equestrians all over Australia. To achieve this we set up an online store designed to make online shopping a pleasurable experience. And with our flat $15 postage rate and no hassle returns policy, buying those must-have pieces is a breeze. We are based in the stunning Macedon Ranges in Victoria. So for those lucky enough to live near this part of the world, local pick up from Kyneton can be organised to save on postage. Just click on this option at the checkout and we'll get in touch with you to arrange collection. Or get in touch with us if you would like to see things in the flesh before ordering - our details are in the Contact section. In addition, we do from time to time set up pop up stores at select equestrian events across the country. So if you would like to browse through our range, check out what other items we can order in, or just say hi, check out our upcoming events . We'd love to see you! |
