Impulsion!

Up until recently I’ve never had good gear to ride in. The hard crappy saddle and old jeans did the job. I didn’t even have a decent horse to call my own until my buckskin ‘Dreams’ found me. I now have the most amazing saddle designed in Australia by internationally renowned movie horse trainer Heath Harris and handcrafted in Mexico as part of his Hawkesbury River Saddlery Company. Up until recently too, you would NEVER catch me in a pair of joddies! No way known! Too posh for me. That was until Jen moved to our district. She’s come up with a fantastic design that suits the bush riding I do. To top it all her Impulsion Jodhpurs (www.impulsion.com.au) are a wool blend and because we are woolgrowers I am even more excited about this luscious Levendale product! I know this sounds like an advertisement, but I’m all for supporting my friends who are creating exciting lives and top Australian gear. Hope to see you all soon at equusinspiration.com where you can also meet Jen and Heath.

From Wool to Websites

Here’s Matt, an up and coming woolclasser and more recently, a potentially hugely successful website designer. Matt has worked in our shearing shed as a rousie since he was a whipper snapper. He was a fantastic rousie, but I had no idea of his computing and design talents until he helped with our community museum at Woodsdale and their website. I hope you like the new site he’s created for us to share. Tune in for more blogs about life, writing and the farming life.
