By Equestrians, for Equestrians

Behind HES-TEC is a family business built on a shared passion for horses and equestrian life. We understand the time, dedication and attention to detail that go into caring for horses.

That experience inspires us to develop practical products that make everyday routines simpler, while maintaining the standards equestrians expect.

What started as a frustration became an idea. That idea grew into something much bigger.

Founders Frank van Helvert and Erwin Samuels grew up in Brabant, at the heart of the Dutch equestrian world. With Frank’s background in competitive dressage and Erwin’s experience training horses internationally, they knew the demands of preparing horses for competition firsthand.

In 2016, one simple question sparked an idea: “Why are we still braiding horses with a needle and thread?”

That question led to the creation of Quick Knot®, a new way to secure professional braids without sewing.
