Matthew Murray grew up on a family cattle property in northern NSW where horses were a day-to-day way of life. He got into leather work because he wanted to make his best mate a pocket knife pouch when he was 10 years old. His parents were quite supportive and when he started pulling apart farm saddlery so that he could try and put it back together again (much to Dad’s horror), they took him down to a local harness maker to get some pointers.

​

He eventually opened Riverina Saddlery with the help of his wife. With over 25 years of experience in the industry, Matthew prides himself on his understanding of how to create a top quality saddle that is comfortable for the horse, fits well, while meeting a customer’s needs for function, durability, and style. 

​

It may be time-consuming and often frustrating in this age of cheap imported goods to craft products by hand but Riverina Saddlery believe that customers deserve to be able to choose stylish, durable, Australian-made products and will strive to meet the growing need for Mathew Murray products Australia-wide.
