Somehow, you found your way here.

​

Maybe you saw one of my hats out in the world. Maybe someone sent you my way.Or maybe you were searching for something rare—something handmade, honest, and built to last.​

However, you arrived, I’m glad you’re here.

​

Steel Mare was born from the horses who shaped my life.Three mares—each unforgettable—stand at the heart of this brand:

Squirt, a tough little Mustang with endless patience.

Java, a steady yet stubborn Quarter Horse who pushed me further than I thought I could go.

Zen, a powerful Paint mare with the gentlest soul—gone too soon but never gone from my work.

Their strength, grit, and quiet presence are woven into every piece I create.

​

My path here wasn’t linear. ​After an equestrian accident and years spent in the corporate world, I realized I didn’t want to wait any longer to build something meaningful.

I stepped away from the expected path and returned to something older, craftsmanship shaped by hand, guided by instinct, and rooted in tradition.

​

At Steel Mare, “custom” is not a trend—it’s a process.​Every hat begins with a conversation.How it will be worn.Where it will go.What it should say without words.​

From there, each piece is shaped, balanced, and finished by hand—built not just to be worn, but to become part of your story.

​

Steel Mare exists to honor the enduring.​Pieces made with intention.Made with character.Made to last for years—not seasons.

​

If this speaks to you, I invite you to reach out.​Let’s exchange ideas.Let’s create something personal.Something one-of-a-kind—crafted for you, and yours alone.

Steel Mare
Rooted in the past. Worn in the present.
