G'day to everyone from Troy Horton of Whips Tasmania

Post by Troy Horton »

G'day to everyone :whip:

Troy Horton here from Whips Tasmania. I finally got around to joining. Some of you may already have heard of me and seen a couple of my bullwhip photos on The Bullwhip Forum, added by Boggstandard and The Great Garlando or perhaps come across my Website www.whipstasmania.com.au

I live in the beautiful state of Tasmania Australia, in an area called Gravelly Beach, with my partner Caroline. This is an area surrounded by wildlife, farmers, vineyards and arts & craft shops. I am very lucky to live in a very peaceful and lovely place. I love making kangaroo hide whips and feel very fortunate to interact with wonderful and friendly people all over the world and get paid for the job that I really love, whip making.

I welcome all of you for whip enquiries, or just to say G'day.
Cheers everyone

Welcome to COW Troy!!!
I have just come in from "playing" with the tri-color snakewhip and bullwhip you made for me. They are awesome. The heavier weight of the whips really gives me a work-out.
Best wishes,
-Boggs-

Welcome,

I am very impressed by the quality of your whips.

I will at some point be updating my bullwhip.

I presume you do Indy replica whips?

Regards,

Hello Troy!

A hearty Welcome as well! We have been speaking recently, via email, about my purchasing a whip from you. Your work always looks amazing and gets great reviews here. I am sorry that I haven't got back to you, but I AM going to purchase that whip. I just need to get my finances in order and with winter coming here in NH, got a lot of car "prep" to do before the heavy snows arrive. Ugh.

Anyway, I will talk to you soon and again, nice to know you're here!
