About me

I'm Harls - a wife, mum, friend, small business owner, colleague and 'weekend warrior' camp drafter. Combining my love of horses, campdrafting and all things handmade, I created Made By Harls - specialising in distinctly styled handmade saddle pads and a range of boutique items. All made by me at our farm (WH Pastoral) in Manilla, NSW.

My mum had a boutique seamstress business and much to the distaste of my 15-year-old self at the time (it's amazing how we all seem to veer back to what we know at some stage), she taught me to sew. I love being creative and the idea of creating this business came to me one evening over a glass of wine, after trying to find some matching saddle pads for the Willinga Gold Buckle teams draft. I wanted something that sat close to the horse and in a range of colours. Not being able to find exactly what I wanted at the price I wanted to pay, I did as all country mums tend to do. I made it myself.

They say that from little things, big things grow... well, I hope so! But in the meantime, thank you for supporting my very small business.

​Just a note also... we often compete at campdrafts ourselves, or have friends that do, so if you see something you like, let me know. I can always take a certain item you are wanting with me, if you're at the same event. Nothing like hand delivery!
