The La Folie Ambassador & Sponsored Rider Programme

The La Folie Ambassador and Sponsored Rider Programme

A Note from Donna & Milla

When we started La Folie, our dream was to create beautiful, technical equestrian apparel that riders would love to wear: pieces that would help them fully experience the equestrian lifestyle they love.

It has been the greatest honour and joy to watch that dream become a reality.

Today, La Folie has become far more than the clothing we create. It has become part of your early mornings at the yard, your competition days, your coffee with friends after a ride, your gym sessions, your greatest celebrations and your hardest moments.

Although La Folie began as our dream, it has become part of yours too. Every rider who chooses La Folie becomes part of its story, just as La Folie becomes part of theirs.

That is the greatest privilege we could ever ask for.

While we continue to pour our hearts into La Folie every single day, it is our riders who wear it, share it and bring it to life.

That's why we created the La Folie Ambassador Programme.

Not simply to recognise great riders, but to celebrate, support and create opportunities for the people who already embody what La Folie stands for. The people who strengthen the community, experiences and connections that sit at the heart of everything we do.

Because helping riders fully experience the life they love, together, is why La Folie exists.

With love,
Donna & Milla
Founders, La Folie Equestrian


About the Programme

This programme exists for our La Folie community: to celebrate riders who are passionate about La Folie, give them the opportunity to grow alongside us, and help us reach and inspire even more riders to experience a life they love.

What is a La Folie Ambassador?

Our ambassadors are riders who have chosen to take a bigger step into the La Folie journey.

They're passionate about what we're building, believe in what La Folie stands for, and are excited to see La Folie become an even bigger part of their own journey while helping it become part of the journeys of riders across South Africa.

Each ambassador brings something different. Different disciplines, different stories and different riding journeys. What unites them is a shared love for this lifestyle, a genuine passion for La Folie, and a desire to help more riders discover it.

In their own unique way, they help bring La Folie to life. They share authentic moments from their everyday lives, create meaningful content, strengthen the communities around them, and inspire more riders to experience the beauty of the La Folie lifestyle.

What is a La Folie Sponsored Rider?

Our Sponsored Riders are selected from within the Ambassador community and work closely alongside the La Folie team throughout the year.

As some of our closest La Folie collaborators, they play an important role in shaping the future of the brand. They offer honest insight, test future products, contribute ideas, participate in campaigns, and help ensure that every collection, event and decision remains connected to the riders we create it for.

More than anything, they're people who care deeply about La Folie. They celebrate its successes, believe in its future, and are proud to help build something that will continue serving the equestrian community for years to come.

Joining the La Folie Ambassador Programme

To ensure every rider has an equal opportunity to become part of the La Folie Ambassador community, ambassadors are selected through community-wide application searches rather than individual requests.

When applications are open, you'll find all the relevant information, requirements and the application form below. We'll also announce every search across our social media channels and email newsletter, so you don't miss the opportunity.

Every application is personally reviewed by the La Folie team. We take the time to get to know each rider, their story and the community around them.

We're looking for people who genuinely align with the heart of La Folie, are excited to grow with us, and are passionate about serving their wider equestrian community.

La Folie Ambassadors are typically appointed for a one-year term, with the potential opportunity to continue their journey with us in future years.

Our Sponsored Riders are selected from within the Ambassador community. There is no set pathway or timeline; it's a role offered to ambassadors who consistently embody the values of La Folie, make a meaningful contribution to our community, and demonstrate an exceptional passion for and commitment to the brand.

2026–2027 Community Ambassador Search

Applications Now Open

We're incredibly excited to welcome a new group of riders into the La Folie Ambassador community.

Optional (but encouraged)

Throughout the Community Search, we'd love to see your creativity.

Whether it's a reel, photos, a day in your life, sharing your riding journey, celebrating your community, your favourite La Folie pieces, or simply sharing what this lifestyle means to you, we'd love to see how you celebrate and share the La Folie lifestyle in a way that is authentic to you.

Please use #YouAndLaFolie on any content relating to your application so we don't miss it!

We also encourage you to engage with others taking part in the search. Community has always been at the heart of La Folie, and we'd love to see applicants encouraging and celebrating one another throughout the process.

What Happens Next?

Once applications close, the La Folie team will carefully review every application before announcing a shortlisted group of riders.

The next stage of the Community Search will then begin, with further details shared directly with shortlisted applicants and across our social channels.

Meet Our Sponsored Riders

Coming Soon

Every Sponsored Rider has their own story, and their own unique way of bringing the La Folie to life.

Soon, you'll be able to meet the riders helping shape the future of La Folie, discover their favourite pieces, learn more about their journeys and dreams, and hear why they love being part of the La Folie family.


Whether you're applying this year, cheering on a friend, or simply following along, thank you for being part of the La Folie journey. We are so glad to have you here.

Here's to many more beautiful experiences, together.

With love,

Team La Folie xx
