An interesting combination of passion for business, horses and design came together for founder, Carolyn van Schalkwyk, in Espoir Equestrian. Espoir has been a wonderful success story of a start-up company that never gave up, never lost hope and defeated all the odds. Espoir has grown from strength to strength. Although it were founded in South Africa, Espoir is now US based in Florida and stock selected dealers across North America.

"Design to me is like a creative impulse. It is a feeling of love and enthusiasm for something, and in a direct, simple, passionate and true way, you try to show this beauty in things to others, by designing it." May this be a true testimony in all I do for the company. • Carolyn van Schalkwyk | Creative Director
