I thought I’d tell you the little story of how HIT – Hang In There came about, because it really did start with the simplest little idea.
Some time ago, I saw a little horsey hack on social media. Someone was using a stick and some baling twine to hang up a saddle.
So, of course, I had to try it.
And I loved the idea.
But almost immediately I thought… there is so much more potential in this!
I started playing around with the idea and making different versions. Different materials, different lengths, different ways of attaching them. I made prototype after prototype, tested them around the stables, changed things, tried again…and somewhere along the way, my little stick-and-baling-twine experiment became something completely different.
HIT – Hang In There was born.
And then I realised — why stop at a saddle hanger?
We horse people are forever looking for somewhere to put things.
Saddles. Bridles. Halters. Helmets. Jackets. Grooming bags. Boots. Feed buckets. Rugs. All those bits and pieces that somehow end up on the ground, balanced on fences, hanging over gates or piled somewhere they shouldn’t be.
So I created a whole little HIT system.
And the more I used them, the more uses I found for them.
At the stable.�At the wash bay.�At competitions.�At clinics.�At the float.�At the paddock.�When travelling �Anywhere there is a fence, rail, gate or somewhere to hang one.
I now take mine everywhere.
In fact, I don’t really want to be anywhere with my horses without them anymore.
Now I even use them in my own garage.
My friends started using them for their dog leads, another friend of mine hung up their garden hose with it . I was starting to see the endless possibilities.
What started as a little hack has turned into something I genuinely love and use all the time. And that was really the reason I decided to take the scary step of turning it into an actual product.
Because I kept thinking:
Other people need these too!
I wanted them to be simple. Strong. Portable. Easy to throw in the car or float. And useful in all those places where horse people somehow never have enough hooks, racks or places to put things.
That is what I love most about HIT.
It isn’t something I invented and then tried to find a use for.
I made it because I needed it.�And now I use it ALL the time.
I’m actually very proud of how far my little stick and baling twine idea has come.
And I have a feeling I’m still discovering new ways to use them.
So if you see me somewhere with my horses…there will probably be a HIT hanging somewhere nearby.
