About meHello and thank you for looking at my products. I am Ann Rees, chief cook, bottle washer and mother of four grown up kids. Not bad for someone who is still only 21 (in my mind at any rate).

I live in rural Kent (South East England) with Russell (a game keeper), my elderly mother Pat, child no. 3 Rhiannon (a PE teacher at a local school) and two labradors, Buster and Tola (Russell's gun dog).

About my business

I grew up around horses and from that experience started my business over 20 years ago making leather bridles and head collars using traditional hand stitching methods. I invested in a heavy duty sewing machine, which then allowed me to experiment with fabric items, such as horse rugs and neck covers. I gradually increased my range adding suede and leather chaps and things such as horse leg wraps.

As a dog owner, it occurred to me that I could make my own collars, leads and coats for my pets and with a little tweaking, they are now my best selling products. I exhibit at many dog shows all around the country with the help of my daughter.

All of my products were designed by me and have been progressively modified and improved over the years. If you like what we do then please tell your friends. We are a small family-run business and we need your support.
