MBH - Made by Harls

13/09/2026

Thank you so much Troy and Fiona Palmer, and the 2026 Coolah Valley Campdraft committee for this beautiful post. I am so honoured to be part of your event and support ladies in drafting and the sport I love.

Thank you for believing in me.

⭐ PROUD SPONSOR — MBH | MADE BY HARLS ⭐

Some people don’t just sponsor an event, they back the sport. And MBH - Made by Harls is absolutely one of those businesses.

It seems like every weekend, somewhere around the campdrafting circuit, MBH is putting something back in, sponsoring an event, donating a prize or supporting the competitors who keep our sport going. That kind of generosity certainly doesn’t go unnoticed.

What began with beautiful handmade custom saddle pads and tack has now grown into saddlery, and we are incredibly lucky to have one of Harls’ newest creations as a major prize at Coolah Valley in 2026.

🏆 Our Ladies Campdraft Champion will take home an MBH custom fender saddle, handcrafted to the winner’s size and valued at $6,800.

That is one VERY good reason for the ladies to bring their A-game to Coolah! 🔥

A massive thank you to MBH – Made by Harls for not only supporting Coolah Valley Campdraft, but for the incredible support you continually give to campdrafting right across the board. We’re very proud to have you behind us. ❤️

Thought I'd share why I choose to use leather at the wither... there's a method to my madness.

It's not just to write fun stuff on your pads 😂😉

So... I asked chat GPT what I would have looked like with a retro vibe and it came up with this 🤣 I kinda like it...!!! 😍🤩🥳

Only this one left in the ready mades!!! Get your retro on before I do!!

The last of the ready mades for today... a subtle hint of dusty pink in the webbing, with a cocoa brown crazyhorse leather and engraved wither.

...retro vibe anyone?!

Here is number two in the ready made section of the website - https://fa5a4c-ff.myshopify.com/collections/saddle-pads

Orange vintage tone crazyhorse leather with black/white webbing and engraved wither.

I really like this!!!

My hand is still healing so it will be next month before I'm making every style again (thank you for being patient!) but I'm going to start adding pads again as I can, into the ready-made section of the website... and here's one of them :)

Featuring crazyhorse leather, wither engraving and contrasting webbing for that little 'something something'... 28x28 in size, gorgeous wool felt with clover spine for natural shaping - $345 plus post.

Oh and yes, if you'd like engraving on a patch at the back, it can be added! Just select one/both sides as an optional extra when grabbing it in the online store.

This one is available now but another featuring orange, plus one with a dusty pink theme will drop as well between now and tomorrow so keep your eye out here - https://fa5a4c-ff.myshopify.com/collections/saddle-pads

**a little bit of fine print 😆... please note that logos/brands must be supplied in a good quality format, ready to engrave - I am unable to recreate them from photos etc due to time constraints.

Jodie takes beautiful pics - how cool is this little ringer flying around in a MBH kersey!! I reckon I know this one... from the ABCRA Est 1946 National Finals a couple years ago!!

Manilla Campdraft Junior & Juvenile photos are ready to view.

Something a little out of the ordinary for MBH but hopefully on point for the Gwydir River Run Inc Bark 'N Bolt winner!

This is the first saddle pad I ever made ... it was one of 3 in the Willinga Park Gold Buckle teams draft.

From little things, big things do grow... you just have to give your dream enough water ;)
