Who is Super
X Country?
Super X Country is an affordable
sporty equestrian clothing
company for all riders, using
the latest performance
materials and fashionable designs to
stand out.
HOW DID THE BRAND COME
ABOUT?
Super X Country was started through
event rider Becci Harrold when she
saw a gap in the market to create
bespoke cross country colours after
she went shopping with her mum to
buy her very first set of lucky colours
for her up and coming event. All
she could find was dark, boring and
heavy colours, so this was when she
decided to design and make some of
her own having a background in textile
design. Delighted with her homemade
colours and the response from other
riders asking where they could buy
some from only for her to explain you
couldn’t buy any quite like hers Super
X Country or SXC for short was born!
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
GOING?
SXC was established in 2010 when
Becci was 20 years old, she always had
a love for fashion, textile and business
gaining top grades throughout her
education. Year on year Becci has seen
the business grow and is delighted
with the direction it is going.
WHAT IS YOUR BEST SELLING
PRODUCT AND WHY?
The best selling product is definitely
the signature XC colour starburst
design, it’s so unique and different
to what else is offered. You can
spot the design a mile off and
is so striking teamed up with
a matching hat silk and
saddle cloth. We also sell
hundreds of faux fur
pompom custom hat
silks which are made
in the UK.
WHAT MAKES
SXC DIFFERENT
TO OTHER
BRANDS ON THE
MARKET?
We offer a super quick
turnaround of 4-7
working days for all
custom orders, at a
price everyone can
afford and we are
usually able to get
them out quicker
than that! We strive
for the very best
customer service, each
set designed is very
personal and special
to the customer,
so we often discuss in length the colours
and arrangement. We have a 5star rating on
Facebook and such lovely feedback comes
through email every other day. It keeps us
going.
WHERE DO YOU SELL YOUR PRODUCTS?
Our main platform for selling is www.
superxcountry.co.uk although after the success
at Chatsworth, Blenheim and Your Horse
Live we will be attending more trade
stands this year with our name down for
Badminton & Burghley. Our first one
this year will be our local Chatsworth
again where we hope to showcase a
range of our new breeches and base
layers in colours not currently
on the market that are in
production as we speak.
BECCI HARROLD FROM
SUPER X COUNTRY
The piece of kit I cannot go without- Within my
hobby Eventing I could never go without wearing
my lucky SXC colours, it would be bad luck after all!
I designed them myself with a sponsor Profile Tech
Solutions so you won’t see any others like it and they
stand out so well on all the pictures making it easy
to spot yourself and mum to follow you with the
camera!
My favourite event Chatsworth International, its
my local prestigious event and
I love everything about it, I’ve
been lucky enough to get 3 of
my own self-produced horses
there and finish within the
top 10 on two of them!
There is nothing quite like
galloping around that
amazing course!
My aims for 2018
are to qualify for
the Badminton
Grassroots final,
it’s the only
thing I am left to tick
off on my list of
ambitions!
