Kentucky Inspiration
Emilie Conter
is a Belgian showjumper from Stephex Stables, known for her calm focus, precision, and a true horse-first approach. After a standout youth career with Belgium, including team silver at the 2014 European Championships for Children, team gold at the 2016 European Championships for Juniors, and team gold plus individual bronze at the 2021 European Championships for Young Riders, she has transitioned seamlessly to the top sport.
In 2025, Emilie took a major step forward by winning her first CSI5* Grand Prix in Wellington with Portobella v/d Fruitkorf, and she has since become a regular asset for Belgium in Nations Cup line-ups, delivering strong performances at key events such as Rotterdam and Aachen.
Everyday Performance Look by Emilie Conter
Emilie Conter’s look combines sporty elegance with uncompromising function—exactly what you want for daily training and competition: reliable, comfortable, and clean in style. At the center is the Saddle Pad Fishbone Jumping, designed for high breathability to keep the back feeling fresh, even when the work gets more intense. As a special detail, the saddle pad has been personalized with the Stephex logo—an embroidery customization you can have done through Kentucky.
Paired with it are the Sheepskin Girth and the Half Pad Impact Equalizer Sheepskin, creating a soft, supportive setup that helps the saddle feel stable and comfortable—ideal for sensitive horses or anyone who simply prioritizes comfort. The look is completed with Solimbra Brushing Boots front and hind short: durable, hard-wearing, and made for everyday protection.
