***NEWS FLAH***
Exciting news, new stiff halters will be in stock Friday! ... the website has been updated, so you can now place orders!

Unfortunately, they will only be available in BLACK for now. I will be getting a run of another colour in the next week or so though, and I would like your input!
So please post below in the comments with your preferred colour choice ...
BLUE
RED
PURPLE
GREEN
Over time I will increase my colour choices, but for now I have to work with what's available to me and a few choices is better than having no choice!

We have a NEW PRODUCT!!
The ROPE CLIP
A few of our clients don't use clips/snaps on their leads, they don't like the extra weight ... but this means they need a lead for every halter, which can get expensive if you're using quality gear.

A nifty solution to this is the Rope Clip. Super easy to use, leave it looped into your lead and just attach it to whatever halter you need! They are made from 6mm stiff halter cord and are designed to take the full force of a "big o'l" pull back without pulling tight or breaking. Just simply undo the loop and put it on another halter!
Rope Clips are only available in Black and are just $15 pp
Purchase through my website below.

(Hopefully we will have stiff rope training halters back in stock by the end of next week ... stay tuned for confirmation in the coming days. We do have FIRM training halters available in store until then)

Murphy had done herself a mischief in the paddock a few weeks ago resulting in a muscle tear and a build up of scar tissue! She was very lucky to be visited by Jacqui from Gippsland Natural Veterinary who treated her with acupuncture. Murphy was her usual calm, beautiful self and stood like a trooper through her treatment. Highly recommend Jacqui and her practices, thanks for your time Jacqui!

Available for 12 month show lease - Cowboys Blue Valentine (Blue)
Blue is a 3yo reg Paint Bred filly, approx 14.3hh. She has a good solid basic foundation on her and has been out to a couple of Ranch events where she did everything required of her in a quiet and safe manner.
Blue is naturally extremely quiet, both on the ground and under saddle and would suit a youth or ammy rider under guidance of an instructor.
Blue is only being offered for lease due to my limited time with young stock taking my focus. She would suit Ranch and pattern events (she is not a pleasure horse). In the future I will breed Blue, but for now I feel it would be a waste of a good, safe, young riding horse.
Blue will be available to an experienced show home only, a lease with the PHAA will need to be completed as will a private lease agreement and she will need to be insured.
We are located in the Yarra Valley, Vic
(Horse friends please share around)

Good morning! I've finally caught my breath enough to catch you all up on Murphy's week of showing!

First we attended Southern Spectacular which was a double judge show. It was a big ask for Murphy, we arrived, unloaded, prepped and then headed over to the indoor ... the whole experience was a little overwhelming for a baby's first ever real time out, but she handled herself beautifully, even with the three hour stand around for her first class! She had 2 classes on both Wednesday (Versatility Halter & Lungeline) and Thursday (Versatility trail & HIH) and she managed her emotions well and executed her patterns mostly correctly.
Friday was our down day and it gave us some time to clean up some of the things that needed work. She settled nicely into her work and gave me some amazing lungeline!
Saturday was first day of state show and we had 3 classes, Versatility Halter, Versatility lungeline & versatility hunter in hand ... she got through all her patterns extremely well with few errors. It was however a big day and it was at this point I decided there was no benefit to staying another night for just one final class so we packed up and headed home.
Murphy was so well behaved and put so much trust in me, I'm so proud of her and look forward to further outings with her!
