From this afternoon up until the 2nd, we will be at the Upper Horton Campdraft & Rodeo. I will have my trusty starlink however reception can be a little sketchy so if you message regarding any products or saddle pads, I promise I will get back to you as soon as I can.

The online store will be working away in the background so orders can be placed even when I am offline - just pop any comments in the checkout and I will contact you once I am back regarding customisation, colours etc.

Also, don't forget guaranteed order pick ups for Nutrien Equine - Performance and classic campdraft close on the 10th so pop them through as soon as you can!!

Have a super New Years everyone!!

Visit the online store - www.madebyharls.com or message me if you would like something that isn't in there.

2025 is going to be an awesome year and what a way to bring it in with a bang!!

I started this little venture on May 26 this year... it's been one very big ride, with lots of learning curves, laughs, a few tears and the best customers I could have hoped for.

I've kept it quiet, but this week, I officially left my day job (scary!!)... after 12 years with the Department of Education, I am looking forward to a whole new chapter as Made By Harls and cannot wait to do this every day.

So, it's a good time to say thank you for your belief, your purchases and the support you've given this newbie. You will never know what it means to finally find my 'niche' - what a great tribe to belong to. Thank you from the very bottom of my boots to the tips of my greys!!

Merry Christmas!!

Wannon River Campdraft nominated by Georgina Templeton!

Thank you to everyone who entered! I truly love this business and love being able to support the next generation of jockeys like our little Rowdy here (who incidentally thought 'turn it around' meant him, not the piece of paper lol)

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!!

The past few New Years celebrations for us have been spent at the Upper Horton Campdraft & Rodeo. We love Horton - it's a special little vibe up there and a gorgeous community.

I am honoured to have been able to make and donate the prize for the winner of the Jody Turnbull Memorial Ladies Draft at Horton this year.

Life is precious. We are so lucky to do what we do, with all the wonderful people we do it with. It's a special tribe we are all part of.

I know how those last-minute shoppers feel and yes I can absolutely still do an electronic gift voucher for you, for any amount.

Just message me the amount you would like to give and if you would like anything particular written on the voucher, and I can send you an invoice and a voucher with a unique code that the receiver gets to spend in my online store.

The voucher can go towards a higher priced item, or to pay for multiple smaller items - there is no minimum spend and they last a full year.

Message me if that sounds like you!

I had forgotten about these little beauties until now, but thought it might be a great thing to share given our goals each new year of keeping a diary, writing things down, keeping track of cattle/expenses/things to do...

I'm a bit of a 'jotter' and always have been. I feel like you give random thoughts a little flair when you write them down. I don't know, but my little handwritten scrawls and notes seem to always trigger some other thought.. it's like the very act of writing something down sparks my brain into action.

Is that just me?

These pocket-sized notebooks can feature special messages on the inside cover, as well as two initials hand stamped on the outside (or for larger text this can be lasered - for example, events/logos/brands). They make a great gift or prize as well!

The outside is vegetable tanned gorgeous tan leather, and the lining is a vegetable tanned Australian roo leather, which does also come in colours.

You can order them plain, or customised. If you would like one, visit the online store and grab one - or three!

Here's a sneak peak at some of the parts of a ๐ง๐ž๐ฐ ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐›๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐‰๐š๐ง๐ฎ๐š๐ซ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“ ... they are 'not 100%' Made By Harls though... they are infact, made by my hubby, Wade.

Wade was a builder in his past life and now that we have the farm and MBH, I have the joy of adding things to my wish list and he just seems to create them! When he asked what I wanted for Christmas, a new set of reins was the first thing I asked for ... inspiring a whole new product range!!

There's a bit of a theme that runs through MBH gear... being able to offer the personal touch - products that capture the essence of you.

Sally from Benalla Stud inspired the little phrase 'shorten your reins' and WH Pastoral is our farm. Soon, you will be able to add your own little touch to a set of Made By Harls reins and poppers - with your own unique message, name, event details (thinking prizes here!!) ... gosh I'm waiting for someone to ask for me to put 'marry me' on something ... surely there's a cowboy in 2025 who would pop the question on a leather popper ... it's a great idea, right?!?! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ Heck, I'd even give them to you for free if you video it!!! ๐Ÿคฃ

Super excited to bring another product to the store and to have Wade part of this journey ... we do need a name for the collection though... ideas??

My husband says I'm a workaholic. I am certain he is right as my brain never stops tossing things around and you know how much I love this little venture!

Part of my philosophy is to keep things fresh and add things that have that little Made By Harls 'something'. Products I can't find myself (so I make them!) ... ones that pop into my brain in some late night (or sometimes overnight) idea! (Yes, I think he often wonders what the wiring looks like inside this little head of mine๐Ÿคฃ)

Well, this was one of those 'ideas'...

Made By Harls tiny tots/pony saddle pads are undergoing a size change where the new regular size will be 600 x 600 (can still do smaller by request of course but this size just seems to be the most popular size being ordered for kiddos)....
..but what I don't have is a hair on hide version as regular item in the online store.

This one is what I like to think of as Bonanza's 'Little Joe' ... the smaller family member to Big Hoss (aka my regular hair on hide)๐Ÿ˜†. This one thinks he's a big cowboy, and he sure has potential, but still has a bit of growing to do๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

The hide doesn't sweep around the whole pad like the Big Hoss version does.. on this one it's just a feature trim - but this helps keep costs down so that kids can join in the fun too, without Ma and Pa re-mortgaging the farm!

I like my Bonanza analogy (am I showing my age?!?!), but my mum would simply say it's a 'Clayton's' - the hair on hide when you're not having a hair on hide๐Ÿคฃ

Regular tiny tots/pony pads are $220 in wool felt, however these will be a touch more at $245.
