PHOTO GALLERY...
 
The pictures in this photo gallery represent a sample of my handiwork - some are stock items, many are custom orders.  They show different options and combinations that might help you decide what you want for your tack.  You can choose the rope type and color, length, size, custom trim options, etc.  for your equipment.   The possibilities are endless and can be somewhat confusing so give me a call or email if you have any questions.  I have labeled the pictures with a brief description - for more information, please visit the pages about the rope, custom trim, leather and hardware to see the options you can choose from to have your equipment made just the way you want it.  Click on Products for more pictures, full descriptions and prices for all types of equipment.

Natural Hackamore - red with red, white, blue trim - bosalter, mecate reins with pineapple knot and tassel on both ends (instead of popper on lead rope end), knotted V browband.  Mecate is tied into the halter loops (instead of above the fiador knot) so the halter can be used without the reins attached.
