Custom Cattle Halters

Custom Cattle Halters Quality Leather Show Halters and Rope and Webbing Halters for the discerning Cattle Exhibitor. I started working cattle when I was 11 years old.

I soon learnt the hard way that to get good results you had to have good equipment. So I set about learning the art of rope splicing (thanks to my Dad!!) Later I added Leatherwork to my skills (again thanks to my Dad!!) and what started as a hobby soon grew into a work from home business. Quality Showgear was started when I was just 16. I inherited tools from my Great Grandfather who was also a sa

ddler and my love of leatherwork was born. I continued teaching myself how to make rope and leather show halters for the various teams I managed and showed. I later studied under Robin Yates and Allan Hartley gaining certificates in saddlery repair and harness-making. I further refined my skills under the guidance of Shelley Cole (Shelley Cole Bridles) who brought my work to a whole new level. This culminated with a Standard of Excellence exhibit at the 2014 Sydney Royal Easter Show Craft Section. All my leather products are hand cut and stitched using top grade English Bridle leather sourced directly from the U.K and are fitted out using solid brass or stainless steel buckles, loops and chains. All my rope products are made using marine grade soft polyester Double Braid and Polyethylene Yachting rope made here in Australia. I pride myself on the fact that all my halter designs come from my 35+ years experience of breaking and training cattle for the show and sale ring. I know what works and what doesn't. My designs have been extensively tested to ensure they deliver that quality promise. Let me help you create a distinctive halter for your stud animals and get noticed where it counts!

So the new house has been officially christened.
In black dye.
And the workbench.
And the small dye table.
And the bin.
And my feet.
And my hands.
And the back of my arms....

EDIT: HEAVY BLACK LEAD CHAINS โ›“๏ธ ARE NOW IN STOCK!
Its been an eventful 2 weeks in the workshop!! Lots of rope sheep halters, some leather cattle halters, the ducklings ๐Ÿฅ are growing like weeds since they hatched, the cats are loving the outdoors and I got to have a lovely mental health weekend on the Gold Coast and actually got my feet wet!! I also tried to slice off part of a finger ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™„ that has thankfully healed without stitches (this time)๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
It has also been tinged with sadness at the passing of one of my mentors in leatherwork Peter Main. A legend who had a gift like no other for achieving the impossible with leather art....farewell my friend ๐Ÿ˜ข

Well what a finish to a couple of very long weeks!! All orders for Ekka now finished and being posted on Monday, my entry for Ekka leathercraft section nearly finished and just another belt to plait before Wednesday and I'm all good. I think ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ’–

Well.....we've hit the ground running and it's certainly been quite the ride since we reopened!!! I did say the new workbench might need tweaking...it survived the first leather halter, but not the next 16 ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
There has been lots of things happening - the new screens have been fitted to my verandah and the cat netting hung so the gremlins now have a safe outdoor spot, one of my 6ft tanks in the workshop emptied half its water one night onto the floor (450 litres of water and one cranky Oscar fish...but that's another story!!), the Caboolture Mazda Beef Grand Prix led section has been completed, plenty of orders sent out as well. Now just to get my entries for Ekka completed before July 30th and in to the show!!

All exhibits have now been weighed in ahead of tomorrow's inaugural Caboolture Mazda Beef Grand Prix.

With entries ranging from lightweight exhibits right through to an impressive 626kg, spread across 9 weight classes, tomorrow's judges have an incredible lineup in front of them.

The overall quality of the cattle has exceeded our expectations, and choosing class winners, division champions and ultimately the Grand Champion Led Exhibit is going to be no easy task.

One thing is for certain, whoever drives away in the brand-new Mazda BT-50, proudly provided by Caboolture Mazda, will have truly earned it.

For those following along from home or watching via the StockLive live stream, we'll publish the exhibit list by class a little later on so you can easily keep track of the competition and follow your favourite exhibits throughout the day.

The stage is set for what promises to be an outstanding day of competition.

Good luck to all exhibitors. We can't wait to see it unfold.

I also have some horse reins and halters available. If there is something in particular you want me to bring please message me EARLY this week otherwise I won't have time to make it. I won't have any leather halters available on the day but the order book is always open!!
Don't forget your cash on the day (I don't have eftpos) or you can also use PayID.
See you all there ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

The countdown has suddenly changed from months and even weeks - we are now down to just days!

At this point, there are two types of people:

1๏ธโƒฃ Those calmly making final preparations.

2๏ธโƒฃ Those suddenly remembering all the things they forgot to do.

We're not telling you which category we're in ๐Ÿซฃ
