Noel Asmar: Passionate by Design

Growing up, Noel Asmar always had a love for all things horses and equestrian. As a child, she dreamed of owning her own horse and would even blow kisses to horses in the fields as she drove by.

Noel started her career in fashion, designing apparel for elite spas and resorts. Continuing on with her childhood passion for horses and riding as an adult, she built her own barn at her home in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for her two horses, Jake and Duchess. Having her horses at home meant spending more time with them and in the saddle, which inspired her to begin designing her own equestrian apparel.

“As a rider in Vancouver, we have to deal with a lot of rain,” said Noel. “I was looking for a stylish rain jacket that I could use at the barn and beyond, but found nothing suitable on the market. The experience pushed me to design pieces for myself that weren’t on the market in the tack stores. Once I started designing equestrian apparel for myself, I knew there was still a place in the market for premium, quality-fitting equestrian apparel. We officially launched Asmar Equestrian in January 2011.”

Asmar Equestrian provides apparel for riders and non-riders alike with functional and clever pieces that transition effortlessly in and out of the ring. The collection offers a wide selection of technical pieces with sun protection and performance fabrics, breeches, show apparel and outerwear as well as an accessories collection and a growing Italian leather handbag line.

“We’re a purpose-driven design company,” said Noel. “Every piece is cleverly created to fulfill a variety of requirements from the wearer. We’re inspired to design apparel that makes living life’s moments easier and more stylish including classic tailoring with innovative details that help to elevate our traditional sport and appeal to a greater audience.”

The All Weather Rider Jacket, one of the first equestrian apparel products Noel designed, continues to be a best seller throughout the collection every season. This innovative full-length jacket is designed to protect the rider and saddle from all weather conditions with a front and back skirt that unveil to fit over the saddle.

Asmar Equestrian also supports a large number of riders in many disciplines, including junior teams and Olympic-level competitors worldwide. Currently Asmar Equestrian sponsors dressage riders Adrienne Lyle, Karen Pavicic, Courtenay Fraser and Ashley Moore; show jumpers Laura Jane Tidball and Joie Gatlin; and eventers Stephanie Rhodes Bosch and Mia Farley.

“Our brand’s design philosophy is to promote the versatility of our apparel by showcasing it in and out of the ring,” said Noel. “Having sponsored riders demonstrate the functionality of our apparel worldwide is very beneficial.”

Equestrian fashion is ever-changing and constantly evolving, just as the sport is.

“This season, a preppy array of colors have set the tone for a fresh palette including punch pink, bright yellow, nautical navy stripes and more, that creates a playful tone out at the barn and in the show ring — hard to miss a rider in Asmar this spring and summer!” said Noel.

For the upcoming fall and winter season, Noel predicted, “Equestrian is synonymous for the use of leather with our saddles, boots, tack and more, so don’t be surprised to see more leather this fall!”

In the future, Asmar Equestrian plans to expand its lifestyle collections to offer a wider selection of fashions that function for the barn and for life beyond the saddle while still appealing to a range of clients including non-riders.

“With a growing collection that reaches from warm-up apparel to show apparel to lifestyle pieces and back again, we have something for everyone!” Noel said.

In the unique and challenging sport of combined dr In the unique and challenging sport of combined driving, Jacob Arnold has proven himself to be a bona fide star. It’s been said that success develops from a recipe based on hard work, perseverance, learning and sacrifice, paired with a love of what one is doing. Since the time he was a boy, Jacob has had the right combination of all of those ingredients, which have culminated in a meteoric rise to stardom.

Beginning his career as a Junior, Jacob earned the coveted @usequestrian Junior Equestrian of the Year award in 2011. Since then, he has taken the combined driving world by storm, competing successfully in four @fei_global World Championships. He also won the USEF Advanced Pair Horse National Championship in 2020 and 2021, among other victories—all before the age of 28, in a sport that has historically been dominated by older drivers. Last September, he placed 12th—the highest of any American driver—at the 2021 FEI Driving World Championship for Pairs in a field of over 100 top-level drivers.
