The Katherine The Katherine

The town of Katherine is in the far reaches of Australia's Northern Territories, just south of Darwin. Our Katherine jacket has a snug zippered front, side slit hand warmer pockets, and roll back acrylic cuffs...

Alice Springs Alice Springs

The town of Alice Springs is in the very center of Australia in the heart of the Simpson Desert. Cold desert nights require a warm jacket, and Aussie Girl's Alice Springs model will fit the bill. The shawl collar will feel warm on your neck, while the tapered point bottom hem keeps you looking stylish...

The Jillaroo The Jillaroo

Reviews

The vest is totally cool by the picture, however it runs way too large when you recieve it. I had a choice to exchange it (which would cost me an extra $10.00), or just get it altered. The vest is very roomy in the back, and not only it doesn't look shapely, it actually can't keep you warm since the wind just blows through it. I took it to a tailor who's added two nice seamings in the back. Had to pay $40.00 for a job (which is actually more than the price for the item). But now that the vest is very shapely, stylish and very warm, I wear it every day. In Mississippi it is perfect for our winters. I am also 6ft tall, the length of the outfit is perfect for me, but I would think it might be a bit long for an average height woman. So if you can- order a size down and then get it fitted.

A "jillaroo" is Australian slang for a female ranch hand. The Jillaroo vest looks fantastic layered under one of our oilskin coats or a denim jacket. Or wear it all by itself with a blouse and a pair of blue jeans on cool fall days...

Youth Bushmaster Australian Saddle Youth Bushmaster Australian Saddle

Reviews

I bought this saddle after riding in my hubby's Aussie a few times and finding it really comfortable (but HUGE). It is a perfect fit for me and is actually quite gorgeous! I was expecting a very plain and fairly cheap product (considering it's $200 and comes with all fittings), but it is made of decent quality leather and the stitching is sturdy. The seat is amazingly comfortable! It is actually well padded and cushy. The 14" seat fits me perfectly (I ride in a 14.5" AP English saddle or a 14" western normally). The stirrups are made for little feet, and will do fine with my summer riding boots but I had to switch them to wider ones for the winter as my feet were getting stuck. Everything is easy to adjust! The included girth is decent, too, and is a 36" soft leather with some "fleecy" material on the underside, although I prefer to use a double-elastic sided girth on it for ease of cinching. It fits any standard English girth (but as always with an Aussie, choose a shorter girth than you need for an English saddle). The saddle is very pretty, with two tones of leather and some stamping in the fenders of the saddle. It also fits my wide-backed QH mare decently (although it would be more ideal on a slightly narrower horse, but she does have a thick winter coat right now). This would be a great lady's Aussie or a good, very secure saddle for youth who like to trail ride. The poleys in an Aussie can't be beat for seat security (as my hubby would tell you with little riding experience and less than fantastic balance). Overall, very pleased and can't wait for some good trail rides in this!
