🌧️ PEGASUS SHOW UPDATE 🌧️

Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain forecast for today, we’ve made the decision not to attend the Pegasus Riding Club Show.

We’re really sorry to everyone who was planning to catch up with us, have a look at our saddles, or try something on their horse.

We were looking forward to being there, but with the weather looking pretty miserable, we think staying home and keeping the gear dry is the sensible option! ☔🐴

Thanks so much for your understanding, and we hope to catch up with you at another event soon.

Kim and Ray,

Plus, we’ll have a range of other saddlery and horse gear for sale on the day.

So if you’ve been eyeing up a new saddle, struggling to know what might suit your horse, or just want to come and have a proper look at what we stock — come down and check us out!

Would you be interested in an Outback Saddlery Open Day? 🐴

We know how hard it can be to find a saddle that really fits your horse — and how difficult it is to make that decision when you haven’t had the opportunity to actually try the saddle on them first.

So, we’re putting the feelers out to see how much interest there would be in holding an Outback Saddlery Open Day at our property in North Canterbury.

You could bring your horse along and try a selection of our saddles on your own horse, have a chat with us and get a better idea of what might suit both horse and rider.

And we don’t just stock one type of saddle! Our range includes:

🐴 Stock saddles
🤠 Western saddles
🐴 Half Breed saddles
🐎 General Purpose saddles
🐎 Jump saddles
🐎 Dressage saddles

We’re committed to helping our customers find the right saddle and the right fit for their horse, rather than simply selling them a saddle.

Would you come along? Comment below or send us a message. If there’s enough interest, we’ll start looking at dates! 🐴
