Who we are

As a veterinary nurse and dedicated equestrian, I understand the challenges of finding well-fitting gear for horses, especially off-the-track thoroughbreds with their diverse shapes and sizes.

Tired of ill-fitting rugs causing rubs and discomfort, I began creating my own custom designs, including leads tailored for optimal handling.

My initial focus was on providing solutions for my own horses, but word quickly spread, and soon I was helping friends and family.

This passion for creating perfectly fitted, high-quality equipment led me to invest in a heavy-duty sewing machine, and what started as a personal project has now become a thriving business.

I'm proud to offer my services to a wide range of clients, from everyday riders to some of the most prominent racing stables in Australia, including those who have campaigned international Group One winners.

From repairing motorbike armor and caravan awnings to crafting custom horse rugs for all shapes and sizes, I bring my veterinary knowledge, sewing expertise, and genuine love of horses to every project.

I believe that well-made, reliable gear is essential for both horse comfort and peak performance, and I'm committed to providing exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service to every client."
