WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

A family idea that found its feet.

Our parents, Sue and Tim, started Cool Horse Socks in 2008, looking for riding socks for their children that combined performance, comfort and a bit of fun.

We wanted socks that felt good inside riding boots and had enough colour and personality to make you smile when you pulled them on. That idea became the starting point for our ranges.

From muddy fields to show stands.

Our early show days meant muddy fields, pop-up tents and setting everything up ourselves. The stands have grown and there are a few more socks on the rails, but we’re still the same family behind them—and we still do the setting up. If you’re visiting a show, come and say hello.

Still in the family. With all hands on deck.

Today Katie leads the business, supported by her sister Elle. Joel, Katie’s partner, and our parents Sue and Tim help keep everything moving behind the scenes.

If you’ve stopped by our stand at a show, chances are you’ve met one of us—and perhaps our dogs, Finley and Ada, too. Come and say hello, have a chat and find your next favourite pair.

Our socials give you a peek at the people behind the socks: show days, new designs and the occasional moment when one sister needs content and the other gets roped in. See what we mean →

We listen to the people who wear our socks: the questions you ask, the designs you love and the details that matter when you spend hours in your boots. Those conversations help us shape what comes next.
