🌻Welcome to Lacey's Legacy🌻

At Lacey’s Legacy, we are committed to promoting mental health awareness and supporting youth and families in need. Every purchase of our custom-designed saddle pads helps make a real difference, with $10 donated to i.am initiative. These funds provide vital resources that supports young people (under 25) experiencing suicidality, self-harm, or emotional distress, offering genuine connection and tailored guidance in the community. By purchasing, you’re not only keeping Lacey’s spirit alive—you’re joining us in building a safer, stronger, and more hopeful future for those who need it most.

Lacey, a beautiful 15-year-old girl, born into the loving and caring family of Andrew and Melissa Pitkin. She grew up in the close-knit community of Dorrigo, NSW, alongside her older siblings, Rhys and Hayley. As the youngest in the family, Lacey filled their home with warmth and joy.

She had a deep love for soccer and horse riding, spending countless hours with her beloved ponies, Sock and Flint, and sharing adventures with her horse-riding friends through the streets of Dorrigo. A proud member of the Dorrigo Pony Club, Lacey was known as an enthusiastic rider whose kindness and spirit touched many.

Her generosity and encouragement were recognised when she received the Community Spirit Award at the Annual Dorrigo Camp, where riders from across the Mid North Coast gather for a week of fun and friendship. Lacey stood out not only for her skill but also for the way she supported younger riders, always offering a helping hand and a bright smile.

Tragically, on 19 December 2024, the world of Lacey’s family and friends was shattered when she took her own life.
