Echo's Rope Tack

Mia's fitting

Mia has the very important job of taking care of beginner riders as they learn new skills. Understandably, new riders haven't yet learned how to keep their hands quiet and not accidentally pull on the horse's mouth, via the bit. A bitless option is a great idea to make Mia's job more comfortable for her, I'm very impressed with the level of kindness and thoughtfulness her carers give to her. What a lucky mare she is! And so pretty too 😍

I'm back from a long break
😀😀😀

My months long hiatus has been due to the one and only small project supplier of equestrian ropes (in Australia) being sold and the new owner making some decisions that deeply affected my ability to buy what I need, in order to keep my business going down my original track.

I've had to think long and hard as to whether this journey ends as fast as it began or whether I can make it work and find another way.

So in order to keep on keeping on, the changes I'm making are equal parts exciting and disappointing!

First of all, I will no longer be taking custom orders. I just don't have access to the same selection of colours, sizes and styles, so I will have to work with what I have on hand and let the pieces decide themselves 😄

The good news is, this means I can be a bit more free with my creativity and concentrate on perfecting my craft in my own time and space.

Due to price increases from the supplier, I will also have to pass those increases along. I will review and update my prices soon, after some careful consideration.

And finally some fantastic news! I have been working hard on creating course outlines and workbooks so that I can offer some rope working classes! I'm super excited to share my passion with the horse community in a fun and easy going environment. I'm not yet sure what this new project will look like or when it will happen as I'm still sorting out the fine details, so watch this space 😍

Another well chosen custom colour set 😁
