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.

trim - bosalter, loop reins with tassels, knotted V
browband, lead rope with eye loop. The reins are
tied above the fiador leaving the halter loops for the
lead rope. This "natural hackamore" set has
the benefit of being able to remove the lead rope.

black and tan leather trim - regular halter with cheek
piece trim and detachable tassels, lead rope with eye
loop, matching custom hand whip. This customer ties
her lead rope up as reins when needed. (I no longer
use this type of leather lace for braided trim but I can
make something similar with lacing cord or fine leather
lace - kangaroo or calf leather.)
|
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.

trim with no core) with pineapple knot on halter tie end,
mecate with pineapple knot and tassel.

the fiador knot.

browband. Also matching key ring.
|
Bosaltermore - black and
raspberry - bosalter, loop reins with pineapple knot
buttons.

above the fiador knot.
|
Bitless Bridle
Set - Blue with blue and tan trim - bosalter bitless
bridle, loop reins with water straps and snaps, long
cowboy knot trim, knotted row browband. (the blue
rope is not quite as "turquoise" as it shows
here)
A customer rode her horse over to
my booth at the Midwest Horse Fair, 2010 to show me how
much she likes her bosalter bitless bridle set! She
says her horse is very "light" with it.
