The Derriere Angels ~ Carl's Angels! Photo-shoot with Jack Boskett

Monday the 16th March 2015 saw the gathering of a fine team of riders for the latest Derriere Equestrian Photo-shoot with Jack Boskett Photography in Gloucestershire. The Derriere Angels: Laura-Eve Thyer, Alex Boldry and Debbie Dorman together with the Derriere Gentlemen: Levi Hunt and Matthew Burnett were all on fine form for the day & loving the creativity and mood boards prepared for the shoot.
We were delighted to be joined by Derriere Ambassador Carl Hester MBE and two of our teams sponsored riders. With 14 of us gathered throughout the day, the atmosphere was superb. We could not have had a nicer and more pleasant group to work with. Everyone had a truly fabulous day and many friendships were created.

BETA International 2015 - Derriere Equestrian

The British Equine Trade Association (BETA) International Exhibition at the NEC proved to be an extremely busy and profitable three days for the Derriere Sales Team.
We welcomed over 120 retailers onto our stand from the UK and abroad. As a result, we have dispatched orders this week to twenty countries including Japan, Korea, USA, France, Sweden, and Spain.


The underwear and breeches collection were on display in the fashion show, three times a day, which was brilliantly choreographed; this was a really exciting  marketing opportunity for us and something that we will certainly be repeating.


Our stand looked stunning thanks to the flair of Claire Galer our Chief Designer.

We were very proud to be displaying images of Carl Hester for the first time since his most generous offer to endorse the underwear range. The overall message that we received from the trade at BETA was that Derriere Equestrian has been accepted as a major new high-end equestrian brand and our products are in demand!

Your Comfort Is Our Business...........

Selecting and fitting the perfect saddle requires years of experience and a great affinity with the needs of the horse. The weight of the rider must be correctly distributed to the horse’s back and the saddle must allow free movement of the shoulder. There are many different saddle designs available ranging from traditional fixed or sprung trees, through adjustable, carbon fiber trees and even treeless systems.
The flocking can be traditional wool, man-made fibers and there are several air-filled saddles on the market.

Whatever the choice of saddle design, it must conform to the anatomy of the horse, but also the dimensions of the rider have to be considered.  How frustrating to find the ideal saddle for a particular horse only to find that it doesn't fit the rider. If one is fortunate enough to have a saddle made then the perfect solution for both horse and rider is more easily achievable.  Comfort for the rider is also a major consideration for a successful fit.


The equestrian world is awash with different saddle pads and numnahs to enhance the horse’s comfort but up until now, there has been little out there to assist the rider. The Derriere Padded Support System which is incorporated into stylish, designer underwear, for both men and women, has now filled this gap in the marketplace.


The launch of the Derriere Equestrian range of underwear into the marketplace, combined with expertise in saddle fitting, has now ensured that all riders can achieve a perfect saddle fit for their horse and ultimate comfort for themselves. Equestrian Underwear and Saddle Fitting go hand in hand to the development of the perfect seat.



Derriere Equestrian Lunch With Carl Hester MBE & Talk Underwear!

Well it really doesn’t get much more exciting than this in the world of Derriere; our Managing Director, Claire Galer had a working luncheon with our Country’s favourite Dressage rider, trainer and guru, Carl Hester at his beautiful home near Newent, Gloucestershire.  Not only was Carl sporting his Derriere Equestrian Padded Male Shorty’s but in his own words he believes, “Every rider should be wearing them, and please can I have some more!”

We are obviously extremely thrilled that Carl has given us such a positive endorsement, he went on to say, “when you are riding up to seven horses a day these pants are an absolute Godsend and I just love the styling.” The Maestro has also agreed to join the Derriere Angels for an upcoming photo shoot so keep your eyes open for the latest marketing images, we can’t wait!

We really must send a massive thank you to Carl for giving up his time to meet with Claire. As the designer and driving force behind Derriere, she is rightly very proud that her underwear has been so well received.

Claire says of Carl’s endorsement & feedback: “I was delighted to meet with Carl for lunch and to discuss his opinion and thoughts on our products. To be met with such enthusiasm and rider satisfaction from the “King of Dressage” was music to my ears! A tremendous amount of work has gone on to bring these products to the market, to see and hear Carl’s support and genuine product satisfaction is testament to the design and quality of our garments”

Carl has said he is delighted to endorse the underwear range and we are over the moon to have such a fabulous Ambassador for our products. As Carl says …. “Every rider should have a pair …..”

We are excited to announce our product support to Carl and shall be sure to keep his underwear drawer well-furnished with the world leading Equestrians Underwear Range!

“The Derriere Equestrian Underwear is, without question, a first of such quality and style for the rider. When you are riding up to seven horses a day these undergarments are an essential item. I love the styling of the male shorty’s, the fabric is exceptionally comfortable and the finished garment very well made.
