We are thrilled to announce a landmark partnership between Equilight and Charles Owen, as we proudly join their prestigious Innovation Hub. This marks a significant milestone for our mother-daughter business and opens the door to a future of collaborative innovation, equestrian excellence, and enhanced rider safety.

A Meeting of Minds (and Missions)

Charles Owen is a globally renowned leader in equestrian helmet safety, and to be working alongside them—particularly as fellow Welsh companies—is a true honour. Their long-standing reputation for combining tradition with forward-thinking technology mirrors our own passion for blending style with innovation at Equilight.

“As a passionate horsewoman and someone who lives and breathes rider safety and design, it’s incredibly rewarding to welcome Equilight into the Charles Owen Innovation Hub. Their design-led approach and deep understanding of what riders truly need aligns beautifully with our own mission. At Charles Owen, we’re committed to blending heritage with innovation through a forward-thinking ethos — and Equilight’s vision sits right at the heart of that.” 

— Jade Faulkner, Head of Product & Brand Development, Charles Owen

Shared Values, Shared Vision

Our shared values and commitment to rider wellbeing form the foundation of this exciting new relationship. At Equilight, our mission has always been to create elegant, functional gear that enhances every rider's experience. Working alongside a company with over a century of expertise in protective design inspires us to think bigger, push boundaries, and refine our approach in ways that continue to put the rider first.

A Springboard for Growth

This partnership also signals a moment of growth for Equilight. With Charles Owen’s support, we’re embracing new ideas, exploring exciting collaborations, and reaffirming our commitment to quality and innovation in every detail of what we do.

“When I had the idea to start the Innovation Hub it was always with a view to supporting small and medium-sized businesses, who's products were safety focussed, and needed help to move to the next stage in their growth strategy. Equilight ticked all those boxes, and more. In addition, Liz and Rebecca perfectly embodied the type of open minded and enthusiastic founders we love to work with"

— Dave Derby, CEO Charles Owen

We're grateful not just for the opportunity, but for the shared spirit of innovation and care that runs through every part of this partnership.

We look forward to keeping our community updated as this collaboration unfolds. Together with Charles Owen, we’re committed to pushing boundaries and creating products that truly make a difference in the equestrian world!
