SADDLERY

We have a fully working saddlery here at the Farm, we make all our saddles and harnesses right here from scratch. It takes about 30 hours to make one complete saddle. Saddles weigh 18kg and can hold 2 people. Repairs and maintains on saddles bags, harnesses and saddles all take place in the saddlery. Chris is our saddle maker and leather work expert, the equipment used in the saddlery is from Chris’s own personal collection of rear antique saddlers tools, these tools are all still used by Chris today.

WINDMILLphoto 1

Our Windmill was proudly donated to us by Curtin Springs Station. The Windmill was the original homestead windmill that supplied the Curtin Springs homestead for over 40 years before being replaced with a modern electric water
pump. March 2013 a team of strong blokes from the farm salvaged the old windmill from Curtin Springs. On it’s arrival at the farm the head of the windmill was fully rebuilt once the rebuild was complete the windmill was erected in one piece and now stands proudly in the center of the farm.
