In this episode of The Horse Business Podcast, we sit down with Kurt Haber, the U.S. owner and representative of Romitelli Italian Boots USA, live from the Global Dressage Festival in Wellington. Kurt shares the fascinating story of how he and his wife, an international Grand Prix dressage rider, first discovered the Italian boot brand in Europe and how it organically grew from a few barn “boot parties” in Switzerland into a major international presence across the United States, Europe, and Asia. From importing their first thousand pairs to building a loyal customer base in Wellington, Ocala, and beyond, Kurt walks us through what it truly takes to bring a premium European equestrian brand into the American market.

We also dive into what makes Romitelli Boots stand out from Italian craftsmanship and premium leathers to custom designs, fashion forward styles, and comfort driven innovations like ventilation systems and magnetic spur technology. Kurt opens up about the challenges of scaling while protecting quality, the realities of handmade production, and why customer service and fit are everything in the boot business. Whether you’re a rider, a business owner, or someone dreaming of building an international equestrian brand, this episode offers powerful insights into craftsmanship, branding, and building something that lasts.
