The shop

A tack room with a counter.

Cantlefrae is a low green building on County Road 9, with tack on the walls, a stitching bench by the window and coffee for anyone who waits.

Two people, one bench.

Nell Aradottir runs the counter and the fitting visits. She has ridden trails around Pellston Hollow since she was twelve and drives the fitting truck most Mondays and Thursdays.

Tobias Merriwether works the bench: straps, billets, blankets and saddle cleans. Every stitch on a repair ticket is his.

The shop from the road: a low green board-and-batten building with a wide window showing a saddle, an open door and a hitching rail out front

How we work

  • A price before we start. The ticket says what we will do and what it costs, and that does not change without a call.
  • Your horse, your call. We tell you what we see and leave the decision with you.
  • Mend before replace. If a strap can be stitched, we stitch it rather than sell you a new one.

Stop by the counter, or ask ahead.

Open Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
