CEDAR Lodge Equine Products is celebrating its first birthday in its Emerald store.
However, the company has been in business for a lot longer, servicing both the local, interstate and, more recently, international market with quality Australian made products, made locally in Emerald.
Its Champion Rugs brand and accessories are manufactured on site.
The company provides an extensive range of rugs and saddle blankets and has the ability to custom make to differing requirements.
Owner Kylee Russell started the business in 2002 from her home after recognising the opportunity to supply locals with a quality product at a better price.
“People were tired of paying high prices to the big players,” she said.
Five and a half years on, Kylee realised a long time dream and opened her own shop so she could better service the local community and have a new, more spacious home for the manufacturing side of the business.
With her own range and widely accepted Champion brand, Kylee is proud to be recognised as a supplier of quality products at reasonable prices.
Cedar Lodge aims to provide for all equestrian needs, including custom-made rugs and a wide range of products including tyre feeders, bridles, saddle blankets, jodhpurs, fly veils, herbs, giftware, greeting cards and veterinary items.
If it isn’t already on the shelf, ask one of the friendly staff and they will do their utmost to get any product required.
Cedar Lodge Equine Products is located in the heart of Emerald at 297 Belgrave-Gembrook Road. Phone 5968 3082.
The shop is open Monday to Friday 9.30am-5pm and Saturday 10am-5pm.
