About Us - Our Story
Our Story
Tacklet was born out of a simple belief: that quality equestrian gear shouldn't cost the earth.
We're a saddlery based in Kinglake West, Victoria — right in the heart of horse country. We know firsthand what riders and their horses need day in, day out. Whether you're heading to a weekend show, schooling at home, or just keeping your horse comfortable and safe, the right gear makes all the difference.
Why We Started Tacklet
Like a lot of riders, we spent years frustrated by the choice between gear that was affordable but ordinary, or quality products that came with eye-watering price tags. We knew there had to be a better way — so we went looking for it.
Tacklet started as a passion project and grew into something we're genuinely proud of: a curated range of gear from riding boots to saddle pads, helmets to body protectors and everyday equestrian essentials that tick both boxes. High quality. Affordable prices.
How We Source Our Gear
We love the hunt for great products. We're constantly on the lookout for new gear, new colours, and new brands that meet our standards — and yours. Every item in our range is chosen because we'd be happy to use it ourselves or we already do!
We also love helping our customers mix and match to create a look that's uniquely theirs. Whether you're after a classic navy and tan combination or something a little bolder, we can get you the colours and styles to make it happen.
Based in Kinglake West, Shipping Australia-Wide
We're a small, local business with a love for the equestrian community. When you shop with Tacklet, you're supporting an Australian-owned saddlery that genuinely cares about getting you the right gear at the right price.
Have a question about sizing, fit, or which product is right for you? We're always happy to help — just reach out.
Happy riding,
The Tacklet Team 🐴
