Lodge Ropes
Quality Handmade Natural Horsemanship Equipment
Cypress Lodge is our home in the central goldfields of Victoria, Australia, with our kids and our horses and ponys. We start, train and ride using ‘Natural Horsemanship’ techniques. We needed good equipment for the job but the brand name ropes were too expensive and some of the cheaper ones were rubbish. So over the years we have learned to make our own. Now we only make what we use, if it’s not good enough for our horses we wont make or sell it.
No gimmicks, just good traditional horse gear made from 100% Australian ropes and leather.
Please Note: We do not use any wildlife products in our equipment and if asked on the issue, we would say we were opposed to the commercial exploitation of wildlife especially the Australian kangaroo. The commercial killing of kangaroo for a novelty leather product is the largest slaughter of wildlife in the world. You can actively do something by not buying anything from anyone that sells kangaroo leather products.
Please note that Des is not a pet. Des is a wild magpie that shares our farm with us,
by her choice. Des is free to come and go as she pleases.
If you have the time, say G'day by signing our guestbook.
NEW ONLINE HORSE STORE
One of our friends has opened an online store selling horse gear at very reasonable prices.
Tanya stocks rugs and bridles at the moment, but will be adding more tack, including rider wear, in the near future. "dont ask for martingales, whips, spurs or hobbles" says Tanya, she is a dedicated Natural Horseperson and will not stock any tack that is designed to force a horse to follow a cue.
In email Tanya said " I want to make an impact on people through my business to make them think differently about how they ride and train."
We can't argue with that, here is a link to her ebay shop, if you need some new gear, check out what Tanya has available http://www.freewebs.com/expresshorsegear/
