Values Reflect on your Upbringing and Real Freindships Last Forever

William Horse, ready to go. He is wearing his beautifully made Lemetex, which, I believe, is Swiss. We didn't know about the Tenterfield Saddler at the time, which seems hard to believe, as we live just up the road. We spent months agonising over his back, which has a particularly high wither (backbone) and therefore the need for a well fitting saddle. He has also been carelessly treated in the past, with the saddle being banged onto his sensitive back by previous uncaring owners. Now, he is comfortable.

His face shows the scarring from the incredible summer heat and insects which makes him itchy so he scratches against trees and anything else. Now, the weather is cooler and his face can heal.

"Making a quality saddle requires meticulous skill and above all, patience. After 130+ years, all the devotion and skills passed down from saddler to saddler and generation to generation are now being applied to the creation of Tenterfield's own clothing and accessories brand. The historic Tenterfield Saddler, after serving the community in saddlery needs since 1870, now offers a wide range of quality merchandise with one exceptional difference:"

Everything is made to last.

SOME THINGS SPEAK DIRECTLY
TO THE SOUL

TRADITION HAS NO SUBSTITUTE

Used to be you could find products that reflected the lives of their makers and lasted a lifetime....

	How long will things last? A good pair of jeans seems to last forever....Depending how well you treat them. A handcrafted leather saddle will last as long as you want it, too....Maybe longer than both your horse and your ability to get on a horse....When I was a young bloke, Church seemed to last forever and good times went quicker than last weeks pay packet.

"Values reflect on your upbringing and real Friendships last forever".

Your Tenterfield Saddler Products will last as long as you want, with some becoming a family heirloom....these are the things that matter to me.

So, in time when one is just a memory of the past and a new generation captures the passion and vision anew, it may be said with pride....

"My Grandfather made that. He was the Tenterfield Saddler"

and then there was Lemetex....Our new flexible spring tree combined with AWD Memoryflex panels adapts to any horse’s back and eliminates pressure points. It offers freedom of movement and facilitates your aids. These high quality saddles feature our steel-reinforced spring tree for strength and shape retention. It allows the saddle to flex at any place along its entire length to accommodate the movement of the horse. Your knees and thighs find the necessary contact to the horse. Wool flocked panels hand stuffed by experts distribute the pressure and weight evenly over a large area to keep the horse’s back sound.

Julian's horse guru had recommended it, as she had the breed of horse. So, Julian listened and followed and believed.

Mind you, if she had known about the Tenterfield Saddler, and realised how 'fantastic' the Aussie brumby was....................

She could do what 'The Man from Susan River' could do. Ride into the lounge room full of people and recite 'The Man From Snowy River'. It had been an achievable goal, but without the horse.

She would have to make do with reciting the poem under the outback stars around the fire. After a day 'noodling' on the mullock heaps. Back to the sadde.

Designed for the horse's physique and always conforms to the true shoulder angles. This enhances the performance, as the horse is able to more freely use its full range of motion.

The hand flocked gusseted WOOL PANELS with a wide and deep channel distribute the weight evenly and eliminate pressure points. This allows the horse to work from behind and through his back to achieve the desired rounded outline.

For the BERNINA'S, we use the very finest, full grain leather, soft and supple to the touch. Exceptional durability, long a Lemetex trademark, is therefore guaranteed. The supportive deep seat with a narrow twist affords the ultimate comfort and balance, and facilitates a smooth transition to the flaps.

Anatomically sculpted thigh blocks offer security and support a proper sitting position. Our new stabilizing billet strap design prevents saddle slippage.

Cor, lumey. You'd think she'd be able to ride by now.
