Little Bit Special
Little Bit Special started with the idea of creating bespoke traditional hunting stocks – to be handed down through the generations and cherished for years to come.

Keeping with the tradition of white stocks for hunting but adding that touch of bespoke on the tails making them that 'Little Bit Special'. Little Bit Special stocks are made to Hunt! Stocks that can be 'put in the wash' with a quick iron ready for the next hunt.
Each stock is designed, embroidered and sewn by me (Monique) – custom made - bespoke – that 'Little Bit Special'. Follow my Facebook or Instagram pages and send me a message to begin designing YOUR bespoke 'Little Bit Special' stock.

Charlie Road
The Story Behind Charlie Road: A brand shaped by equestrian heritage, quality home fragrance, and a commitment to giving back.
For some, horses are a passing interest. For others, they’re a lifelong passion. Lee-Ann, founder of Charlie Road, is the latter. From a horse-obsessed child to a competitive equestrian and racing apprentice, her journey has led to a thriving home fragrance business—one inspired by her enduring love for equine athletes.
Charlie Road is a brand inspired by a horse and a promise. At its core is retired racehorse Sir Charles Road—affectionately called Charlie—played a key role in its creation. As his strapper and trackwork rider, Lee-Ann accompanied Charlie to Australia for some of his racing campaigns and fell in love with the 'quirky' big bay. She made a promise to his owners that when Charlie retired, he would have a forever home with her. Charlie now enjoys a life of hugs, pats, treats, and being the mascot for CHARLIE ROAD.
Built on a foundation of equestrian tradition, Charlie Road blends this heritage with luxury home fragrance and body products. Its fragrance range pays tribute to the equestrian world, with scents named after historic racecourses and renowned horse events. Among its signature offerings, the HONOUR Candle Collection celebrates notable equine athletes, while the Remembrance Candle provides a meaningful way for horse owners to commemorate a cherished companion. What started as handcrafted candles and soaps has expanded to diffusers, room sprays, body washes, lotions, bath soaks, and even a Horse & Hound wash bar collection.
The core of Charlie Road is its commitment to supporting the equestrian community. Proceeds from the business go to organisations such as The New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust, Stable to Stirrup, and Horse Helping Humans Taranaki, along with regularly supporting various fundraising campaigns for pony clubs and individual riders.

Maree Handy
Growing up on a sheep and beef farm in Western Southland, Maree Handy’s love for horses began early. She got her first pony at just five years old and spent her childhood riding the hills at home. After leaving school, she pursued full-time shepherding, and when time allowed, could be found out hunting with the Birchwood hounds.
Art has always been part of Maree’s life. With a pencil or paintbrush in hand from a young age, she’s long been inspired by the animals and landscapes around her. While not a full-time artist (yet!), Maree continues to develop her skills, recently completing the Wanaka Autumn Art School and attending regular art classes in Christchurch.
She works primarily in watercolour and mixed media, and has recently expanded into landscape work, often painting from photos captured while trekking in the backcountry.
With a new home studio currently being built by her lovely partner, Maree is excited to have a creative space to retreat to (when she’s not tending to horses and dogs, of course). We hope to see her on the hunt field soon!
