Anyone can be a successful entrepreneur, provided they have a fantastic product that can become the talk of the town. Recently, a teenage equestrian from Cheshire made waves in the equestrian community after she came up with a product to assist horse riders. Isla Suddards, a resident of Cheshire, created a valuable product at the age of 13. Suddards created a range of custom tags that can help horse owners keep proper track of their equestrian kits. The tags have delighted horse owners, as this novel product has immense practical use.

Isla Suddards, probably the youngest businesswoman in Cheshire, has come to the assistance of horse owners with her very own designed custom tags. The tags enable the riders to put their names on their expensive equestrian kits, thus ensuring that they don’t lose them. She herself rides a grey mare by the name of Wilma Susie, who her friends call Connie. In conversation with CheshireLive, Isla Suddards said, “I started making tags for my friends at the stables, and suddenly everybody wanted one!”

She added, “I set up an Instagram page and Shopify account and I’m hoping for lots of sales this summer.” Her products have received rave reviews and horse owners are excited to get their hands on the tags. Suddards knows her market well. Not only has she kept in mind the kits, but she has made custom tags for the horses as well. With the help of her custom horse tags, riders can ensure that, in case their equine friend is separated from them, the horse can be safely returned.
The safety tags, made for the horses, can also act as identifiers for the horse owners. Isla Suddards launched her business under the name HPYTags. Since the launch, she, as well as her custom tags, have become popular amongst fellow equestrians. Suddard’s ventures have also gained support from some local organizations.
