Love my saddle pad

Great, very happy. All my gear from you is perfect. I have a La pin bridle with a matching curb strap, the French leather reins that are just beautiful and excellent to use. I also have the breastplate as well. Overall I wouldn't buy anything else and they look fantastic, they will last
for along time to come and my new saddle pad finishes it off nicely . Thank you

Love the 17mm saddle pad

Great! This is the only saddle pad which stops my saddle from sliding around. I’ll need to save more money so that I can buy a whole range of them. Love my saddle pad!

Absolutely love my new reins!

These are the softest reins I've ever ridden in. Australian made and perfect for polocrosse, what more could you want!

Really quality workmanship. No doubt it will last a long time.

The versatility of the belt loop and overall design is why Angus Barrett shines.

You are getting quality with every purchase. Beats the mass manufactured leather goods brands. Being Aussie based makes a huge difference. Will buy
again and will recommend. 10/10

I am stoked with the quality of the saddle pad, the customer service and the speed in which I received my order. My Mum also bought a few belts from your guys over the Christmas period and we struggled with sizing. Your staff were easy to deal with when it came to returns and the quality was as expected - wonderful. Angus Barrett is our number one option when it comes to leather goods and saddlery. Thanks again.

Pieces of quality, made authentically and out of quality materials are never expensive. They will be used fondly and used long after the price has been forgotten. Cared for they will last a lifetime."

Amanda - 29th June 2017

Berry Springs, NSW

"I am reading this after watching Better Homes and Gardens tonight. We were excited that they were visiting Orange, but when Tara Dennis announced something about bridles and "the best in the business", we were hoping it was you. We were properly rewarded.

You may remember that we visited your shop as tourists from Milton last April, and happened to live on the same street, Drury Lane, as another customer to whom you were just getting ready to ship an order.

We felt particularly blessed to see you featured and that your wonderful craftsmanship was given such remarkable coverage. By the way, when we were in the shop you mentioned that I had purchased a tether belt, and I have to admit that I did not really understand what you were talking about. When I got home, I checked the catalogue again, and upon examining the belt more closely I understood. What a useful design. I may never use it for tethering a horse, but, who knows, it would certainly work for anything I want to tie down or restrict! I value it even more than I did when I walked out of your store!

Anyway, Congratulations. Well done, and all the best."

Marc - 26th June 2017

Vikki - 6th June 2017

Lara - 25th may 2017

Bo Peep, VIC

"I usually do not do this however I am writing to you having received my recently ordered canvas gear bag I purchased from your online store. I could not be happier with the bag and the workmanship and attention to detail is remarkable! The presentation of the parcel was beautiful and a pleasure to receive with a personalised note from Amanda. I would just like to thank you for making the effort where a lot of other companies would not. It is not something I have come to expect when ordering online but to experience this level of customer care was extremely refreshing. I feel as though many retailers now feel it unnecessary to pay the consumer the extra time and effort when they are not purchasing goods from inside the store so I would once again like to extend my thanks to you all at Angus Barret. While others may not acknowledge it in writing as I have done, I am sure they too appreciate the care, time and effort you put in equally as much as I do. Thank you once again and please keep up the extraordinary work! I will be sure to look to Angus Barret next time I should need leather or canvas goods."

Working at a feedlot and [I am] on my horses for 10-12 hours/day, I have tried a few saddle pads from different manufacturers but found that nothing comes close to the pad I got from you. I will definitely be purchasing more of these in the future. Also, in regards to your bridles/curb straps/leg straps/neck straps/bits and everything else I have purchased from you, I love them all!! Well done, keep up the good work. I am an Angus Barrett convert, and show off my gear everywhere I go."
