Founded in Experience
MTO Equestrian was created with one vision: to provide riders with equipment that reflects both the art and science of horsemanship. Founded by horseman and trainer Zorik Michaeli, our brand is built on decades of experience working with horses of all types, in multiple disciplines, and across different countries. From developing young horses to refining advanced competitors, Zorik has dedicated his life to understanding horses and finding solutions that help riders communicate more effectively.
That wealth of international training experience is at the heart of every product we offer. At MTO, nothing is theoretical — each piece of equipment is tested in real-world training and competition by riders and trainers who depend on it daily. Our gag bit bridles, in particular, are designed to meet the needs of both beginners learning to ride and professionals starting or refining green horses. We believe in versatility, reliability, and function, ensuring that our customers can trust the equipment in their hands.

Our Philosophy
More than just a supplier, MTO Equestrian represents a philosophy of riding: that the bond between horse and rider grows stronger through clear communication and mutual respect. Our mission is simple — to help riders and their horses perform at their best while fostering trust and partnership that lasts a lifetime. With every product, we bring Zorik Michaeli’s knowledge, passion, and global experience straight to your barn.
