🦙🐴🫏 Fibre Fridays are Getting a Cozy Upgrade! 🧶💛

We’ve absolutely loved having everyone stop by during Fibre Fridays — chatting about projects, picking colours, squishing skeins, and sharing the magic of alpacas, horses and donkeys with new and familiar faces.

As the season gets busier on the farm, we’re shifting to a more personal approach — Fibre Fridays are now all week long 💛 BY APPOINTMENT 💛

This means you’ll get:
✨ one-on-one time to browse yarn, rovings & gifts
✨ help choosing fibres & colours
✨ a quiet, relaxed farm-shop experience
✨ flexible booking times (weekdays, evenings & weekends)

Whether you’re dreaming up a winter project or hunting for the perfect gift…we’d love to welcome you to the Outpost.

🦙💛 Celebrating Our Partnership — TruLee Alpacas 💛🦙

Many of you see our beautiful alpaca yarn, rovings, and fibre goods… but today we’d love to share the story behind the herd itself.

Since July 2022, OakLee Equines and Meadow Brook Stables have proudly partnered to raise and care for our shared alpacas — together known as TruLee Alpacas.

At Meadow Brook Stables, the alpacas enjoy the most incredible daily care — breeding, pasture management, feeding, enrichment, and the love and attention that keeps them thriving. Their expertise and dedication are at the very heart of TruLee Alpacas.

At OakLee Equines, we are passionate about bringing these amazing creatures’ fibre to you. We work side-by-side with Meadow Brook Stables to do monthly herd health days and assist professional shearers — the day that officially starts the fibre’s journey to its final form. We have an absolute blast shearing the herd each year — it’s one of our favourite days of the season.

From there, my team takes over fibre care, gently:
🧺 storing the fleece
🌾 picking out vegetable matter by hand
🚚 delivering it to the mill — the wonderful Opulent Alpacas in Inverness, Cape Breton

We work closely with the mill’s owner to determine the best use for each fleece, deciding whether it becomes:
🧶 rovings
🧵 bulky yarn
🪢 fine yarn
…or another form that honours the individual fibre.

We also make sure nothing goes to waste — even the less-usable sections are turned into secondary products, like our Birds Nest fibre bags, giving every part of the fleece purpose.

Together, we share:
🤝 Herd ownership
💉 Herd health
🌱 Ethical, animal-first care
🧶 A passion for Canadian-raised fibre

Our partnership allows us to honour the alpacas in the most meaningful way — by ensuring they receive exceptional care and by following their fibre respectfully and thoughtfully from pasture to product.

So when you purchase TruLee Alpacas fibre or yarn, you’re not just supporting a farm…
💛 You’re supporting a herd raised with love, intention, and community.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us — from the field all the way to your needles and hooks.

🫏🐴 Available at OakLee’s Outpost: Blondie Cinches & Rope Halters

We’re proud to welcome Blondie Cinches & Rope Halters, a true Nova Scotia original, to our growing list of local makers.

Founded in 2016 by lifelong horsewoman Kelly Myles, Blondie Cinches is a grassroots company built from passion, grit, and a deep understanding of the equestrian lifestyle. Completely self-taught, Kelly pours heart and craftsmanship into every piece she makes — creating gear that’s not just beautiful, but tough enough for real working horses and riders.

Built to Last — Built to Trust

Every Blondie Cinches product is:
• Handcrafted with care
• Designed for durability and comfort
• Guaranteed against any craftsmanship or manufacturing faults

Kelly knows firsthand that when you’re in the saddle, your gear needs to be something you can rely on — without question. That’s the standard she holds herself to, and it shows.

Supporting Our Local Horse Community

Blondie Cinches was born from a simple but powerful realization: Atlantic horse people needed a local maker they could count on. Kelly stepped up and filled that gap — and now her products support equestrians across the province and beyond.

She’s proud to cheer riders on, to support local barns and events, and to give back to the community that shaped her.

Find Blondie Cinches at OakLee’s Outpost!!!

Whether you’re gearing up for the next adventure, replacing a well-loved piece, or looking for something custom-made, you can feel good knowing you’re supporting a Nova Scotian horsewoman who stands behind every stitch.

🤎 Durable. Beautiful. Authentic.
Come in and check them out — your horse will thank you.

Introducing…Twig Hill Tallow Co. Skincare at OakLee’s Outpost

We’re thrilled to welcome a truly special addition to our shelves — Twig Hill Tallow Co., a handcrafted skincare line made right here in Nova Scotia.

Born from a desire for pure, recognizable ingredients, Twig Hill Tallow Co. was created by a medical diagnostic R&D specialist, Erin Falkenham, who grew tired of commercial skincare filled with chemicals she couldn’t recognize. With over 25 years of experience and a deep respect for traditional skin nourishment, she returned to nature — and the results are incredible.

Why Tallow Skincare?

Each batch is made by hand using pasture-raised Nova Scotia beef tallow, blended with nutrient-rich botanical oils.

The goal is simple:
✨ Nourish your skin the way nature intended.
No synthetic additives.
No harsh chemicals.
No mystery ingredients — just pure, natural goodness that works with your skin instead of against it.

Rooted in Local Farming + Modern Science

Named after their sheep farm in Upper Stewiacke, Nova Scotia, Twig Hill Tallow Co. combines:
• Traditional wisdom in tallow-based skincare
• Modern standards of safety and effectiveness
• A commitment to small-batch quality and traceable ingredients

The result? A deeply moisturizing, skin-harmonizing product crafted with intention from start to finish.

Available Now at OakLee’s Outpost!!!

Whether you’re looking to soothe sensitive skin, nourish dry winter skin, or simply switch to clean, natural products — you’ll be amazed at how gentle and effective tallow can be.

🧴 Come try it in store — smell it, feel it, learn about it. Your skin will thank you!

🌿 Where it all began 💕
Glimmer and I - October 2014

Before there was a name, a business, or even a plan — there was just this. A love for animals, open fields, and the simple joy that comes from caring, creating, and connecting.

I had no idea where this path would lead — the amazing people I’d meet, the lessons I’d learn, and the twists and turns along the way.

From moments like this to where OakLee Equines stands today… every step has been guided by heart. 💫 Here’s to new beginnings and the roots that started it all. 🐴🫏🦙
