Horses covered

WITH show season just around the corner, Heads to Tails Horseware is your one stop shop to finalise all your horse needs.
Horse rugs, custom made saddle blankets, rear float tarps – you name it, business owner Marlene McMahon can custom make anything.
She’s been involved in the creative industry for years and learned the tricks of the trade from her father, an upholsterer by trade.
Marlene originally operated the business from home before moving into a commercial premises in North Geelong four years ago.
“It just got bigger and bigger, I had no room left in the sheds, so I decided to open up the shop and it just grew from there,” she says.
The family run business also trades online.
Riding jackets and boots, show wear, bridles, halters, lead ropes and saddle blankets are just a few more products Heads to Tails offer.
The company also stocks a variety of horse related gifts.
“We get a lot of kids in, and even if they don’t have a horse, they can still enjoy a horsey present,” Marlene said.
With the cheapest prices around town, Marlene said she had many regular customers.
“We are competitive and we can also do alterations to rugs and bits and pieces, which no other company can.”
Heads to Tails Horseware is open from 9.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 9.30am to 2.30pm on Saturdays at 22 Baldwin Avenue, North Geelong. Phone 5277 2781 or visit headstotails.com.au
