When shopping for a new riding helmet, it is easy to assume that every certified option on the wall offers identical protection. However, the reality of equestrian safety is far more nuanced.

We are incredibly excited to announce that for the entire month of June, we are partnering for a purpose with our neighbors over at Save a Forgotten Equine (SAFE)!

Everything you need for your first lesson or summer camp session, all in one place. Our checklist to be best prepared for your first ride. 

The future of equestrian sport was recently on full display in Cologne, Germany, and we were there to see it firsthand. Mike just returned from SPOGA Horse, the world’s premier trade fair, with a notebook full of exclusive collaborations and a first look at the trends defining the 2026 season.

From classical Italian leather craftsmanship to groundbreaking safety tech, here is what's coming to the arena this year.

The Seaver Safefit Airbag Vest has quickly become a staple for riders who refuse to choose between high-level safety and a polished, professional silhouette. Whether you are navigating a Grand Prix course or hacking out on a breezy afternoon, understanding how this technology works is key to riding with confidence.

What makes the Tricolore line DeNiro’s best-selling product range? Built from the same fine Italian leather as their flagship DeNiro models, Tricolore boots prioritize comfort and convenience with rear zippers and elastic panels. 450+ standard options to minimize the need for custom measuring. Simplified options for toecaps, laces, and spur rests. Features a durable glued leather sole and non-WRAT treated leather to keep costs low.

In a sport defined by precision, "good enough" gear doesn't cut it. Whether it’s the anatomical fit of a custom bridle, the "second-skin" feel of tailored boots, or a bespoke helmet that reflects your personal style—from custom tack trunks and scrims to full show setups—every piece is an investment in your performance and your horse’s comfort.

At Olson’s Tack Shop, we are proud to be the premier authorized Butet dealer in Washington, bringing the iconic French "close contact" feel to hunters, jumpers, and equitation riders across the region.
