The Journey

Our Story

Hiking Pony started with a simple belief: you shouldn’t have to choose between convenience and feeling good.

We were three women balancing full lives—work, family, ambition—and a deep need to get outside and reset. We kept running into the same problem: the “easy” options didn’t actually support how we wanted to feel.

Too much caffeine. Not enough substance. Convenience that came with a cost.

So we built something better.

Hiking Pony exists to fuel the wild, everyday adventure of living well—with nourishment that works with your body, not against it.

How We Started

This began the way most good ideas do—out of frustration.

Long drives. Early trailheads. Campsites. Inconsistent coffee and grab-and-go options that left us jittery, depleted, or both.

We wanted something simple, reliable, and actually supportive.

So we created our first product: freeze-dried collagen coffee that delivers steady, sustained energy without the crash or jitters—and tastes like a ritual you look forward to.

No hacks. No extremes. Just a better way to start (and sustain) your day.

What We Make

We don’t make products for the sake of it. We make upgrades.

Hiking Pony is a growing line of functional essentials designed to support how you actually live—busy mornings, long afternoons, time outside when you can get it.

From collagen coffee to deeply nourishing sipping broths, everything we create is built to support energy, clarity, and resilience in a way you can feel.

Small shifts. Real impact.

Because when you feel steady and strong, everything else moves differently.

Our Ingredients & Standards

We’re relentless about what goes into our products—because it matters.

One of our founders, Nicole, is allergic to just about everything. That reality set the bar early: if it’s not clean, minimal, and truly supportive, it doesn’t make the cut.

No fillers. No unnecessary additives. No hiding behind “natural-ish” labels.

We source from partners who respect the land and the people behind the ingredients, so what fuels you is something you can trust—fully.

Our Team

We’re three founders with very different instincts—and that’s exactly the point.

A tattooed gamer. A science nerd. A granola mom.

We bring backgrounds in CPG, natural health, operations, and the outdoors, but what unites us is simple: we care deeply about how people feel in their bodies, and we’re not interested in doing things halfway.

Hiking Pony is built on that standard—thoughtful, a little unconventional, and always in motion.
