“We have been riding in helmets exclusively on every
horse for many years now,” Marcus said. “To add a helmet
sponsor to our sponsorship list was a great next step for us.
It is an important part of what we do and our business. We
really look for the highest quality companies and brands
to partner with, as well as the best products, and we really
feel that KEP is just that.”
KEP Italia’s founder Lelia Polini launched the company
more than a decade ago with experienced collaborators,
ready to bring heightened passion and innovation to the
industry with their dynamic ideas and designs. The company’s
unique approach to helmets has been well received
in the equestrian world and helps them stand out from the
competition.
“We worked in collaboration with companies in the
equestrian sector for many years, but I felt the need to look
further in terms of safety and style,” Polini said. “We wanted
to design something more innovative in order to offer the
best to riders of all levels and disciplines. Safety, comfort,
lightness and technical performance have always been
our objectives.”
“Their success speaks for itself and we are proud that
David, one of the most well-respected Olympic athletes in
North America, and Nicholas, a very successful international
athlete, have chosen to be protected by KEP Italia,” she
continued. “Their choice to wear KEP Italia confirms once
again how the best riders and trainers choose our helmets
to have the best safety while on horseback.”
KEP Italia takes great pride in its “Made in Italy” label,
sourcing all of its top-quality materials from its home country
and constructing the helmets with the utmost care and
attention to detail. Each helmet is traceable and subject to
inspections by five different international safety certification
bodies.
“We are proud to work with Marcus Fyffe Dressage as we
share the same core values,” she said. “The care for horses
and personalized training plans for riders symbolize a constant
search for the highest quality that matches our goal
to give riders the safest helmet ever.”
“We take pride in only working with brands that we believe
in because every detail counts to enhance performance
for both the horse and rider. Our sponsors play such a vital
role in our success and we’re thrilled to add KEP Italia to our
sponsorship team of top companies,” Fyffe explained. “Not
only because of the beautiful Italian design of the helmets
and the endless options to customize how they look, but
because the KEP Italia helmets are the safest in the market.
Style is important but safety is paramount.”
