The Distinguished Rider

The Distinguished Rider

We celebrate body positivity, inclusivity and the idea that ALL riders are DISTINGUISHED riders. And thus, The Distinguished Rider was born in June 2020.

OUR MISSION
At The Distinguished Rider, it is our mission to supply ALL riders with beautiful boots that fit and make them feel good, regardless of size, budget, or design needs. ABOUT US
Marissa Gentner, owner of TDR, realized there was a need within the equestrian industry to have access to high quality, comfortable, customizable boots and apparel. The business started with just Marissa herself

Megan McIsaac is pictured here riding her horse Diablo, a 15-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding. Together in 2023 the pair competed at the I-2 and Grand Prix levels for the first time, and took home a Reserve Championship in the USDF All Breeds Awards for I-2.

1๏ธโƒฃ A boot that is too tall might impede your ability to bend your knee, and it could be extremely uncomfortable!

2๏ธโƒฃ When a boot drops, that excess leather has to go somewhere, and it usually falls around the ankle.

3๏ธโƒฃ Trust us, no matter how tall you make them, your boots will always fall to a specific point on your leg, depending on your anatomy.

On this day, we celebrate the life of Tiffany Moritz, whom we lost this past weekend to Mesothelioma.

Tiffany, TDRโ€™s number one fan, was a source of strength and light for Marissa, in addition to the driving force for our message of body positivity and inclusivity. Many of you have met Tiffany at events such as: Dressage at Devon, Regionals, and Dressage at Lexington. Always down for a road trip or up for a late-night consultation, Tiffany is one of the reasons that TDR has been so successful.

Happy birthday to our most Distinguished Rider, Tiffany โค๏ธ forever our angel wearing a big crown ๐Ÿ‘‘
