Hi, I’m Melissa – founder of Bling and Speed, horse lover, proud Aussie, and mum to two incredible girls.
What started as a passion for barrel racing and quality tack has grown into a business dedicated to delivering premium Western saddles, saddle pads, tack, arena shirts, and accessories to riders across Australia and beyond. I believe your gear should work with you – not just look good, but feel good, fit right, and perform when it counts.
At Bling and Speed, I work closely with experienced saddle makers and suppliers to bring you gear that’s thoughtfully designed, beautifully made, and built to last. Whether it’s a custom saddle that fits your horse like a glove, or a colourful arena shirt that helps you stand out in the ring, every piece is chosen with care and tested by real riders – including me and my daughters.
I’m based in regional Queensland, where I juggle business life, barrel racing, and raising a family. I know what it’s like to need gear that’s tough, practical, and still lets your personality shine – and that’s what Bling and Speed is all about.
Thanks for supporting a small, proudly Australian-owned business.
