We have highlighted in previous newsletters that the Triabit has been a big seller in the last 12 months, but The Happy Mouth Bit has also been a steady mover, and should be considered now as an alternate option to a standard Ring Bit.
For the remainder of March, we are offering a $10 discount to anyone wanting to purchase a Happy Mouth Bit. RRP $74.95, it’s yours for $64.95!
The Australian Racing Board (ARB) has approved a new lightweight jockey vest for racing and track work purposes. The RACELITE PRO Body Protector, weighing approximately 260 grams for a Size Small, without optional crutch strap, is the lightest approved vest available to jockeys.
Limited stock of Size Small is currently available, with Size XS & Size Medium due into stock late April 2013. To work out what size you would be, refer to the sizing chart on our website:
Alternatively, drop us an email to info@markeysaddlery.com.au or call us on 02 9601 3464.
At the time of writing, still no company has been able to produce an approved ARB HS 2012 standard helmet. We, and other retailers in Australia, have very limited supply of existing International approved helmets as we had been led to believe that a new ARB approved helmet would have been available by February. We are continuing to stock the Australian New Derby Jockey Helmet:
Australian New Derby Jockey Helmet
…in sizes 53cm to 60cm. If you are wanting to purchase a LAS or GPA helmet, please give us a call to see what sizes are available as we are attempting to source a small supply of these to assist customers who cannot wait any longer for a new ARB HS 2012 standard helmet to be released. As per previous alerts:
Any helmet you purchase now may only be valid for approx 12 to 18 months, as all jockeys and trackwork riders in Australia will be required to purchase a new ARB HS 2012 standard helmet by a date yet to be confirmed by the ARB.
New in stock this week, is the latest Jockey Goggle from USA.

We are stocking this range in Clear Lens and Smoke Tinted Lens, with trim options including Black, Brown, Tan, Royal Blue, Silver & Gold.
