ABOUT
TRISTAN

& LEA

We're a husband-and-wife team proudly based in Nanaimo, British Columbia. While Lea is spending her first season chasing barrels around the island, Tristan is usually somewhere nearby with a camera in hand capturing every moment. When she's not riding, Lea designs and sews custom western snap shirts built for comfort, performance, and life in the saddle.
