Quality products from a young entrepreneur

Congratulations to Kelly Smith from Cumbria. For everyone else, you can order your own boot rack using the details below. They also make great gifts!

She recycles, she welds, she makes unique products... 
..she's just 13 years old.

Keira Heathfield started making boot racks out of horse shoes when she was just 11 years old. Her uncle is a farrier and taught young Keira the art of welding.  When she wasn't attending school near her home in Herefordshire, Keira would be in her uncle's workshop welding horse shoes together to make unique products that would grace any home. 

"Not only is Kiera using what would otherwise be a waste product to produce something useful and attractive, but these are good quality products made by young, British talent. Keira is an inspiration to all budding entrepreneurs. "

Kelly Jackson, Co-Founder Equine Compare

  

Keira's Bootholders

At first Keira sold the welly racks to friends and family, but soon realised they were in demand and set up 'Keira's Bootholders' on Ebay. Now 13 years old, Keira has sold over 300 products and orders keep flowing in. Keira  has recently expanded into making boot pulls and wine racks.

Horse Shoe Welly Racks

Boot Holder from £12 to £25 +p&p

Choose from racks that hold, 2, 3, 4 or 5 pairs of wellies or long boots. Each rack is handmade and sprayed black to protect the metal and give the racks a nice finish. The boot racks are easily fixed to walls and are an attractive way of keeping wellies and riding boots dry and organised. The added bonus with these racks is that your boots stay dry on the inside while the rain washes the outside of the boots.

• 2 Pair welly rack- £12
  
• 3 Pair welly rack- £15
  
• 4 Pair welly rack- £22
  
• 5 Pair welly rack- £25 
  + postage and packaging costs

Horse Shoe Boot Pull

Boot Puller £10 +p&p

Any horse rider will tell you that taking riding boots off is easier said that done some times! These horse shoe boot pulls are perfect for any horse lover's home. Simply use one foot to secure the pull while you easily pull the other boot off using the horse shoe. As always they are hand made by Kiera with a black spray finish to protect them from the elements. The boot pulls cost just £10 plus postage and packaging costs.

 People love them...

Kiera has 100% positive feedback from her customers, here are just a few comments:

“A superb item, works perfectly and looks great. Very impressive work!”

“Brilliant product! Speedy delivery! Really impressed”

“lovely item can't wait until it's hanging on the wall A*******”
