Born to Ride, Built to Stand Out

Born from a desire to break the mold, Monadikos Equine™ challenges the status quo of equestrian apparel. We create high-performance gear that doesn’t just fit your lifestyle—it empowers it.

Born to Ride, Built to Stand Out

From the first ride at just 8 years old, a passion for horses was born. With the unwavering support of the best horse dad ever, our founder spent years in the saddle, developing a love for the sport through jumpers and eventing. But along the way, she noticed something missing—a brand that truly represents riders who don’t fit the traditional mold.

Equestrian sport is built on dedication, strength, and individuality, yet so many riders feel like they don’t belong in the mainstream equestrian world. That’s where this brand comes in—to break barriers, challenge outdated norms, and celebrate the differences that make us stronger. We create riding gear that blends style, performance, and inclusivity, designed for those who refuse to conform.

Whether you’re in the arena, on the cross-country course, or forging your own path, this brand is for you. Because the best riders aren’t the ones who fit in—they’re the ones who stand out.

Monadikos—the Greek word for unique—is more than just a name; it’s the heart of who we are. As a Greek family with a deep love for horses, we grew up surrounded by both tradition and individuality. Equestrian sport has long been shaped by expectations, but we believe that riding isn’t about fitting in—it’s about embracing what sets you apart.

Co-Founder

With 20 years of riding experience, the founder of Monadikos Equine has been immersed in the equestrian world since childhood. At just 8 years old, a March Break riding camp sparked a lifelong passion for horses, turning what started as a fun experience into a way of life.

Despite years in the saddle, they never found a brand that truly reflected their bold, individualistic spirit. The equestrian industry often encourages riders to blend in rather than stand out, following traditions that have remained unchanged for decades. Feeling the lack of representation for riders who dare to be different, they set out to create something new—a brand that celebrates confidence, uniqueness, and breaking the mold.

That vision became Monadikos Equine, a brand designed for riders who aren’t afraid to be seen, who express themselves fearlessly, and who know that greatness comes from individuality, not conformity.

Co-Founder

An entrepreneur at heart and Hannah’s biggest supporter, Mark has always believed in chasing dreams with passion and purpose. From the moment he saw her connection with horses, he knew this wasn’t just a phase—it was who she was. With a keen eye for business and an unwavering belief in her vision, he encouraged her to think bigger, push boundaries, and create something truly different.

Recognizing a gap in the equestrian industry, he and Hannah set out to build a brand that challenges tradition, embraces individuality, and blends high-performance design with bold, unapologetic style. With his experience in business and his dedication to bringing fresh ideas to life, Monadikos Equine was born—not just as a brand, but as a movement for riders who refuse to fit the mold.

A businessman and innovator, Greg has always recognized passion when he sees it—and when his daughter entered the equestrian world, he quickly found himself stepping into the role of a horse show dad. Understanding firsthand the dedication, hard work, and individuality that come with the sport, he saw the vision behind Monadikos Equine and knew it was something special.

With a shared commitment to breaking the mold and redefining equestrian style, he joined forces with Hannah and Mark to help bring this bold brand to life. Together, they are building a company that challenges tradition, embraces individuality, and blends high-performance design with unapologetic personality—creating a space where every rider can express themselves freely.

Because being different isn’t a challenge—it’s an advantage. 

Be bold. Be original. Be Monadikos.
