Equine Elegance is South Africa’s exclusive importer of the prestigious Italian equestrian brand, Cavalleria Toscana — bringing world-class craftsmanship, timeless sophistication, and refined luxury to the local equestrian community.

After more than a year of dedicated negotiation and relationship building, Equine Elegance proudly secured the distinguished position as the preferred South African partner for Cavalleria Toscana. Our carefully curated collections showcase premium equestrian apparel and select horse accessories that embody the brand’s signature balance of elegance, innovation, and performance.

The name Equine Elegance reflects our passion for sophisticated equestrian fashion that celebrates both the grace of the horse and the excellence of the rider. Every piece in our collection is thoughtfully selected to offer the perfect harmony between functionality, comfort, and timeless style.

Our Founder

Equine Elegance is led by Nina Neeleman, a founder whose extensive experience spans multiple industries. With a professional background in somatology, luxury retail, and entrepreneurship, she brings a refined understanding of premium service, quality, and client relationships.

Having successfully established and sold businesses, while also operating a thriving salon business since 2007, she has developed a strong reputation for excellence, professionalism, and customer satisfaction. This diverse experience forms the foundation of Equine Elegance and its commitment to delivering an elevated luxury experience to the South African equestrian market.

Our Distinction

At Equine Elegance, exclusivity and craftsmanship set us apart. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, Cavalleria Toscana garments are meticulously crafted with exceptional attention to detail, ensuring superior quality and enduring elegance.

We offer a personalised boutique experience through private appointments, allowing clients to enjoy dedicated one-on-one service in a refined setting. Clients may also shop conveniently from the comfort of their homes, while our recently launched mobile boutique brings our exclusive collections directly to selected equestrian shows and events.

Keep an eye out for our brand ambassadors — Alexandra Miszewski, Katy Neeleman, and Olivia Goussard — who proudly represent the elegance, performance, and sophistication of the Equine Elegance brand.

Equine Elegance is dedicated to elevating South Africa’s equestrian fashion landscape through exclusivity, exceptional quality, and timeless Italian elegance.
