The latest project off the stand. A fully refurbished pack saddle using the original bars and arches, which are stamped D MASON & SONS, BIRMINGHAM, 1914. Very fitting given that upon completion we remembered ANZAC day.
Mostly kept to tradition, apart from a few small changes like ditching the crupper/britchen to a spider britchen and adding latigos instead of girth billets. The straw padding was ditched for wool flocking wrapped in heavy canvas as opposed to hessian. The original pack strap rings were retro fitted to the new straps to keep some of the heritage alive
A very cool project to give 100+ year old saddle a new life and to be used for many more years to come.
Canvas pannier bags and a manti tarpaulin were also made matching the canvas pads to complete everything.
If you are interested in getting a pack saddle made, please reach out and have a chat with us

❗️❗️Attention ❗️❗️
Dog covers, dog beds and puffer/rain jackets

It’s that time of year where things are cooling off so it’s a good time to get organised for winter. We offer a variety of sizes of dog covers and beds or can patch up your existing ones. It’s also a chance to get those main zips replaced on your rain or puffer jackets. $50 for a main zip replacement. Get your orders in quick as it can be a 2-3 week wait on getting products sent out.
Check out our options for dog covers and beds here:

The ever popular East saddle! This one had a loose cantle and had worn the seat out. Now with brand new seat and the cantle fixed up means this one is ready for many more years to come.

Every year I donate my time and run the bar for the Cheviot Collie Club, an important job keeping the beers, fizzy drinks and water all at an icy cool temperature 🍻
It’s a great club to be a part of so if you are heading that way come say hello and have a drink!
There is no cellphone service at the courses so if you need to get hold of me then send a message or text and I’ll get back to you soon.

This was my first job to start the year off. A basket weave stamped Halfbred saddle with matching breastplate and crupper too. Rawhide accents accompanied with brass hardware throughout, a saddle made for work yet also with some decorative designs and features.

It would be a real shame to see rodeo disappear in New Zealand! It’s something that brings urban and rural people together for a great day out as well as witnessing some top athlete’s in action both human and animal.

1,285 signatures are still needed! Support the continued existence and practice of rodeo events in New Zealand.
