Evolution Equestrian Co.
New and Used Tack Shop in the Comox Valley

Welcome to Evolution Equestrian

Evolution Equestrian is a small, family-run tack shop in Courtenay, BC. We carry both new and used tack for all kinds of equestrians—because good gear shouldn't be out of reach, and what works for one person and horse might not work for another.

I'm Samantha, and I've been around horses most of my life. Pi and I have done jumpers, dressage, working equitation—we've tried a lot of things, made plenty of mistakes, and learned from most of them. I'm still learning, honestly, and that's part of why I love this work. Every horse is different. Every person is different. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, and I'm not here to pretend there is.

What I can offer is honest help. If you're trying to figure out what saddle pad actually stays put, or whether a certain bit might help with a specific issue, or if you just want to talk through your options without feeling pressured to buy something—reach out. I've been there, I've tried a lot of it, and I'm happy to share what I know.

We're here to make good tack accessible and to help you find what works for you and your horse.

Excellent product!! It’s an essential in my groom kit and did wonders for my boys feet while he transitioned to barefoot. Can’t recommend enough

Easy to hold and effortless to use through my horse’s very thick coat. This curry feels great in hand, and my boy clearly enjoys it too!

The new design offers excellent ventilation, and my horse adapted to it right away. Comfortable and effective for turnout.
