About us

We are Annemiek and Stephany Bulters, mother and daughter, who started LoveLance in 2004.

Our name originated after we began selling on a horse forum, where we used Stephany's account under the name lovelance. They soon became known as the "lovelance rope halters," which later became LoveLance Rope Halters.

From hobby to business

Lance was our first horse. We wanted to make a rope halter for him, but we ended up coming home with a whole lot of rope colors. Friends and acquaintances were soon provided for, and after that, we offered the rest on the horse forum. After a while, it could no longer be called a hobby, and we started working professionally with our own website.

Our product range largely came about after we had to look for a different way of interacting with Lance. Lance was an incredibly sweet horse, but he clearly showed us when we made mistakes. This taught us to communicate in a way that is fair and clear to horses.

Rope halters, lead ropes, neck ropes, and all other items were made for Lance and then added to the website. In the meantime, Lance is no longer with us; he only lived to be 17 years old.
For over 8 years, we were able to learn a great deal from him, and we now continue applying this knowledge with our current horses.

Born from a love for animals, an eye for craftsmanship and detail, and the desire to create truly high-quality products.

What started with a rope halter and a few ideas at the kitchen table has grown into a place where you will find products that contribute to communication, cooperation, and adventure – whether you are working with horses or out and about with your dog.

What we value

We believe that materials make a difference.

That is why we create or select our products with care, an eye for detail, and a love for the craft. Durable, functional, aesthetic, and tailored to what you truly need in your daily work or while walking with your animal.

Samen op avontuur

Van bijverkoop naar eigen merk

Net als de paardenspullen, is ook onze hondenlijn puur ontstaan vanuit onze eigen levensstijl. We trekken er namelijk ontzettend graag op uit met onze honden. We houden van het buitenleven, gaan graag kamperen en zoeken tijdens vakanties vaak de ruigere gebieden op. Als je veel in de natuur wandelt, heb je materiaal nodig dat veilig en betrouwbaar is, en dat écht tegen een stootje kan.

Vanuit die eigen ervaring zijn we in 2012 gestart met het aanbieden van onze eerste hondenlijnen. In de beginjaren was dit vooral een mooie bijverkoop naast de paardenartikelen van LoveLance. Maar naarmate we zelf meer avonturen beleefden, bleef de behoefte aan goede hondenspullen groeien—en daarmee ons assortiment. Uiteindelijk werd de hondencollectie zo uitgebreid en specifiek, dat we het niet meer zagen als slechts een 'bijproduct'. Het was een volwaardige lijn geworden die een eigen naam en identiteit verdiende

The common thread

It is clear that LoveLance was born out of love for (our) animals. We strive for a harmonious cooperation between humans and animals, and we hope that our entire range provides inspiration and, above all, contributes to conscious and positive communication between humans and animals.

We are here for people who choose quality – for their animal and themselves. For those who value communication and are looking for equipment that suits their animal and their goal.
