I love working with mohair to make unique cinches and gear for horses. I have been constantly updating my skills in creating safe and eye-catching pieces. I source mohair from the USA to ensure it doesn’t stretch or get out of shape.
Each handmade gear is customized to your style, with many colors and designs to choose from.
About Me
Hello, horse enthusiasts! Are you looking for high-quality tack that not only looks great but is also better for your horse? Look no further! My name is Sally, and my lifelong passion for horses has led me to create custom handmade cinches, breast collars, girths, and bag straps using 100% Mohair cord.
Having worked in various industries, horses have always been a constant in my life. From riding my first pony, Goldie, to learning the ropes of horsemanship with my daughter's horse, I understand the importance of comfortable and durable tack. Through my journey, I discovered the benefits of using natural fiber like Mohair for horse gear.
Mohair, spun from angora goat's hair, is not only hard-wearing but also incredibly comfortable for your horse. Unlike synthetic materials, Mohair naturally catches your horse's hair, creating a secure and comfortable fit without causing soreness or girthing issues. Plus, it looks fabulous!
Make the switch to Mohair tack today and experience the difference in comfort and quality for your horse. Your equine companion deserves the best, so choose handmade Mohair gear from Tess & Leo for a happy and stylish ride every time.
Why am I called Tess & Leo?
Up until recently Tess & Leo was set in a beautiful valley in Buckley just 30 minutes from Geelong and the lovely beaches of the Surfcoast.
I lived here with my husband (who isn’t horsey) and daughter (who still is ). My mum Tess and stepfather Leo were completely supportive in everything I did. Sadly they have since passed however they left me some money that we used to put into the farm building infrastructure to ensure a safe and comfortable learning environment . When deciding on a name for the business it just seemed fitting to name it after them.
We have since sold the property but I still wanted to continue the name to ensure I never forget how I got my start.
