Saddlery

The Saddle Safe was launched at Equitana 2002.  Available in a wide range of colours, this handy mobile unit keeps your saddle and gear safe and doubles as a mounting block.

Alexandria is seen here with the lovely turquoise & pink model!  A lady of many talents, Alexandria also trains animals for film and television. 
 

 

Garrards Horse & Hound were easy to spot with their large sign. Although I am not familiar with this company in Victoria, they seem to have extensive coverage in the northern states and New Zealand. This saddlery is geared towards the racing, greyhound and harness industries.  Carrying an extensive range of goods, particularly horse health products, they were kept very busy during the entire exhibition. 
Safe Rider was promoted at this year's Equitana. Designed to reduce the risk of being dragged it offers peace of mind - the stirrup simply opens when the foot is trapped.
Geoff Phillips Horseworks had their huge mobile saddlery at Brisbane.  These mobiles are a well-known sight round the northern sites, attending horse events.  Horseworks also offer internet sales from their extensive range.
Kingston Horse Supplies carry an extensive range for all equines - but they specialise in Miniature Horses.  Rugs, Bridles, Books, everything for the Mini in your life!
Laser Saddles offer all riders the opportunity for correct seat and most importantly correct fit for the horse.  This model is fully adjustable allowing you to ensure perfect fit for your horse at all times. Alissa Skimirauskas of Laser Saddles demonstrating the changeable gullet mechanism.
Newmarket Saddlery are one of the largest mail order businesses in Australia. They carry a huge range of goods and their popular mail order sales are very popular.
Russell Smith of CQ Saddlery has an extensive range of western saddlery and clothing. Particularly novel were the rodeo board shorts which they were selling.
As well as clothing, the  Horseman's Trading Post also carry an extensive range of saddlery items.

Wagner's Saddlery had the largest bridle on display that I have ever seen.  It is hard to tell just how big it is in this picture - but I would not like to have to feed the horse on which it fits!!  Wagner's offer fantastic service,  well known showing identity Caroline Wagner has won the coveted Garryowen Perpetual Trophy. She understands just what the show riders are looking for.
 

Greg Grant Saddlery is one of the largest saddlery outlets in Queensland.  They had a large display at Equitana 2002 
- including Toe Stoppers.
The Australian invention winning design awards all around the world.
