VISIONARY BY DESIGN
Reflecting on Douglas Elliman’s extensive footprint across the country, in the many regions we are proud to call home, we are constantly inspired by the caliber of the properties in our portfolio.
A deep appreciation for fine artistry, craftsmanship and design is at the core of the latest issue of Equestrian magazine.
Our feature story profiles Andrea Knowles, a Beverly Hills-based architect and designer who seamlessly integrated her lifelong passion for equestrian pursuits with nearly two decades of luxury design expertise. Drawing on years of experience as a competitive show jumper, Knowles identified a unique opportunity in the equestrian world, envisioning sophisticated stables and arenas where high design and practical functionality would coexist harmoniously. This led to the birth of Equine Residences, an equestrian facilities design firm that, according to Knowles, is dedicated to “the health, wellness and safety of horses.” Her full story on page 4 is a must-read for even the most casual equestrian aficionado.
Continuing the theme of design-centric equestrianism, our story on Hermès (page 8) explores the recent opening of this iconic brand’s state-of-the-art leather goods workshop, the Maroquinerie de Louviers in Normandy, France. For it is here that Hermès returns to its mid-nineteenth century roots of harness and saddle-making. Designed by French-Lebanese
architect Lina Ghotmeh, this remarkable facility perfectly embodies the Maison’s storied heritage, reimagined through a contemporary lens.
And if you’ve spent any time on the equestrian circuit recently, you’ve likely noticed the growing trend of high-end retail brand pop-ups at horse shows. ‘Retail on the Road’ (page 46) looks at two chic, design-focused brands—Vanner House and Marina St. Barth—both of which are perfectly attuned to the equestrian lifestyle.
If you are seeking an equestrian lifestyle all of your own, we invite you to explore Douglas Elliman’s incredible portfolio of sensational homes. As always, our world-class agents across the country are here to help—wherever you are on your real estate journey.

HIGH DESIGN EQUINE RESIDENCES
By DAVID GRAVER
When Beverly Hills-based architect and designer Andrea Knowles founded Equine Residences in 2022 it bridged years of professional and personal experience with one observation. Knowles had been practicing interior, exterior and landscape design for nearly 20 years. Long before, she had been a competitive showjumper. During a period of reflection on the latter, Knowles realized that she had rarely seen luxury design integrated into equestrian facilities in the US and Europe—and everywhere else for that matter.
“It was shocking to me given who horse stables were being built for,” Knowles tells Elliman Equestrian. “The stable is a place where most equestrians want to spend all of their time. You want to be around your horses as much as you can, or be out riding, or hanging out in the stables with all of your friends.” Knowles developed a first-of-its-kind business, an interior and exterior equestrian facilities design firm. She then tested out concept imagery on social media. With an immediate explosion of interest, Equine Residences was born.
Underscoring her mission is that the same principles used in high-end residential projects or luxury hospitality builds are applicable to horse stables, lounges and tack rooms. “There are premium materials that last a long time, given how beaten up a stable can get and considering how hard a horse can be on a stable,” she says. This means using better stone or wood, and coupling it with higher-end stable equipment. Choices like these prevent having to do repairs or replacements down the line.
BRINGING RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR DESIGN’S COMMITMENT TO LUXE MATERIALS AND FINESSED DETAILS TO STABLES AND ARENAS
Of course, establishing an aesthetic standard is integral to her work, but so is research. “We read so many university studies. One of the highest principles of my firm is the health, wellness and safety of horses,” she says. “We try to know about everything in the marketplace that can reinforce all of this in the stable—from stall fronts to partitions, doors and windows. I keep it as chemical-free as possible, and make sure we are not introducing toxins into an equine environment. It’s about always knowing what’s better for horses.” For instance, Knowles does not use fly-spray systems, instead preferring air misting. In arenas, she commits to sand for footing.
Equine Residences handles everything from start to finish, whether they’re working on a ground-up build, a remodel, or doing interiors. They provide a master plan and all of the drawings. They often tap into the power of AI for inspirational renderings and real-time updates. “A client can say to me, ‘I love the idea of Northern European/Dutch design, with a thatched roof,’ and I can say, ‘alright, let’s play with that’ and quickly have something to show them,” she says. Knowles shares her AI images on Instagram and Pinterest, many of which have gone viral.
“I am giving inspiration to people who might not come to Equine Residences, for their own stables, because of the cost,” she explains, “but we are still offering them the opportunity to see what’s out there in the world. A stable
doesn’t always have to look the same.” It’s that sentiment that distinguishes Knowles as an industry disruptor. “We don’t do things because that’s how they were done,” she adds. “We are doing things as they should be done. We are continuing to be as knowledgeable and creative as possible on behalf of our client base.”
In November, Equine Residences unveiled a milestone project, a compound in the Netherlands designed for two of the biggest equestrian social media content creators, HorseWorldTV founder Matt Harnacke and acclaimed rider and trick trainer Jesse Drent. “We spent two years looking for a property and two years working on the designs,” Knowles says. The project required multiple trips to the Netherlands, as well as Germany where she met with the stable equipment company Röwer & Rüb.
Ultimately, Harnacke and Drent “bought a 200 year old estate and we began to restore it. It has a lot of restrictions based on the monument clause in the Netherlands. We’ve worked with the local council. It’s an intensive process and it’s been a great education on the pairing of a restoration with a ground-up build and landscaping. We’ve loved every part of the process—and we’re having so much fun working on it together.”
It’s the landscaping component that Knowles hopes everyone makes note of. “I really want people to know that they should start with their landscaping, so that when their construction is done, it’s already there,” she explains. “It’s such an important element that we really push. A master plan and planting plans should be done ASAP because the faster you get your irrigation and plants in, the better they’re going to be when you finish. It won’t look like an empty lot with a beautifully designed stable on it.”
Knowles has another equestrian advancement on the horizon. “A partner and I are in the founding process of a secondary business associated with Equine Residences, that’s a smart farm technology company,” she says. “We are going to launch an app that does stable management and keeps track of horse wellness and safety. Every time I walk into a high-end stable, it’s all run on a whiteboard. You are not getting up-to-date information. It’s been bothering me for years and I’ve come up with a solution.” Knowles plans to have it fully funded, developed, launched and installed around Los Angeles by the 2028 Olympics. “It’s a great launching pad for this,” she adds, “because all of the riders will be there, as well as their grooms.” It’s an apt pairing—an elite showcase and the latest debut from an individual revolutionizing the equestrian world.
HERMÈS MARRIES EQUESTRIAN TRADITION AND INNOVATION
By DAVID GRAVER
WITH THEIR THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED SELLE FAUBOURG SADDLE AND THEIR STATE-OF-THE-ART NORMANDY WORKSHOP, NEARLY 200 YEARS OF HERITAGE INFORM THE FUTURE
For many the name Hermès conjures visions of fashionable silk scarves and luxury leather handbags, but those in the equestrian world are acutely familiar with the fact that founder Thierry Hermès was a horse harness artisan and saddlemaker. For 10 years, prior to opening his acclaimed atelier in Paris in 1837 and attracting clientele like Napoleon III, the craftsman was actually based in France’s equestrian epicenter, Normandy. It’s with this historic anchor in mind that the Maison opened the Maroquinerie de Louviers, its first saddle workshop outside of Paris, last year. Designed by French Lebanese architect Lina Ghotmeh, it represents a meticulous balance between the heritage of the house and the future of equestrian accessories production—and it is one of two powerful examples of how Hermès continues to lead in this category.
A comprehensive architectural vision, the Maroquinerie de Louviers sets standards beyond the equestrian world. In fact, with eco-consciousness at its core, it’s the first industrial building in France to be granted the low carbon, energy positive E4C2 designation. Twenty-five thousand square
feet of solar panels along with 13 geothermal energy units power the 66,700-square-foot structure. Local artisans hand-made the building’s 500,000 red bricks. And Belgian landscape architect Erik Dhont introduced a rain-capture system to the idyllic setting, which refreshes the water table of the 10-acre site.
“As Colonel Daloux—a well-known écuyer [horse rider] from the Cadre Noir de Saumur—used to say, ‘worship of tradition does not exclude love for progress.’ This precisely reflects our mission at Hermès: transmitting two-hundred-year-old know-how from one generation of craftsmen to the next, while striving to accompany the evolution of the sport,” Chloé Nobecourt, the managing director of the equestrian metier at Hermès, tells Elliman Equestrian.
Within the future-forward facility, up to 260 artisans, many from the recently opened local trade school Louviers École Hermès des savoirfaire, craft made-to-order saddles, like Hermès’s new Selle Faubourg.
This groundbreaking saddle marks the second marquee equestrian announcement from Hermès within the last year. The Selle Faubourg took three years to develop, and incorporates insight from Jérôme Guery, an elite Hermès partner and Olympic medalist, as well as several other riding experts. Substantial field tests offered even more insight and led to technical advancements.
The Selle Faubourg diverges from its predecessors in that it features a distinct, deep contour. The pliable beech wood backbone of the saddle, known as the tree, is also more finessed—and parts of it are intentionally exposed to reveal the craftsmanship within. Ultimately, the Selle Faubourg aims to bring the rider closer to the horse, with 100 contact points between the saddle and a horse’s back.
“We like to say at Hermès that the horse is our first client,” Nobecourt says. “Our priority is therefore to ensure its comfort, to adapt to the evolution of its morphology, to allow freedom of movement and a close connection between horse and rider. Far from being in opposition, this duality of tradition and innovation ensures that our equestrian roots remain very much alive and that our saddles can accompany these couples at the highest level of the sport.”
Designed to support both novices and professionals, for show jumping and flatwork, the streamlined Selle Faubourg represents a commitment from the Maison to forever explore improvements and expand the capabilities. It also honors the hand-made traditions of the house, as it takes one artisan 30 hours to produce a singular Selle Faubourg.
The fact that Hermès values its equestrian program as much as its beloved Birkin bags is evidenced by their private museum atop their rue du Faubourg headquarters. It showcases historic horse-riding artifacts collected by the family over the years. But with innovations like the Selle Faubourg—knowing that saddle developments are a true rarity in the sport—and the investment in the state-ofthe-art Norman atelier, Hermès has no intention of limiting their equine history to a museum. Instead, they’re applying their excellence toward the next 200 years.

RETAIL ON THE ROAD
Brand Pop-ups at Equestrian Events
Vanner House, a staple on the equestrian retail circuit, has traveled the country with its retail pop-up for over two years. Founder Kristan Cicero couldn’t find thoughtful, unique gifts for her trainers and equestrian friends, so she took matters into her own hands. “I decided to create the store of my dreams,” she said. After joining forces with her friend and experienced retail professional Sophia Garceau, Vanner House was born.
Named after Cicero’s gypsy vanner horse Dreamer, Vanner House has hosted pop-ups at all of the nation’s major equestrian festivals, offering a range of clothing, accessories, art and home goods. “We like to curate an equestrian lifestyle that’s luxurious, but with a pop of fun,” Cicero explained.
“[The Vanner House pop-up is] a place to talk with people about their horses, about their day and what they love,” Garceau agreed. “We really want people to feel like they’re a part of the family.”
This brand’s pop-up success also makes a big impact on their business. Vanner House’s pop-ups have been so successful that they opened their first permanent, brick-and-mortar location near Devon at the end of 2024.

While the main draw for equestrian enthusiasts at world-renowned horse shows is the plethora of competitive events, there’s also another major attraction: the retail pop-ups surrounding the festivals.
Athletes, staff, trainers and spectators flock to must-see events on the equestrian circuit like the Hampton Classic, the Wellington Equestrian Festival and the Devon Horse Show, making it the perfect opportunity for equestrian-focused brands to engage with new customers and offer their wares well-suited to the exclusive equestrian lifestyle.

Marina St. Barth, the luxury beachwear brand is another pop-up found at each year’s Hampton Classic, and previously at the Wellington Equestrian Festival. Inspired by the stunning beaches and relaxed lifestyle of the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy, this boutique has its roots firmly planted in both the Hamptons and Florida—the epicenter of two of the most major equestrian festivals—with two brick-and-mortar stores in each location.
While these pop-ups are an opportunity to expand their customer base, they also allow the owners to meet countless new people and share their stories. “I like to meet new people from all over the world,” explained Marina St. Barth founder and CEO Marina Cocher. “The competitions attract not only a lot of tourists, but locals as well.”
Capitalizing on chic living, Marina St. Barth will soon expand their luxurious point of view to a larger storefront on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach.
