Regular Halter, soft rope, Lead rope with eye splice


" My friend bought me a halter and lead set and I LOVE it! Everyone at the farm just loves my halter!!! Even my picky QH mare, who HATES anything on her head, doesn’t toss her head or throw a fit with it. I’ve used other rope halters and all she does is throw her head and throw a fit. I’ve really never seen her behave better :)
If you ever need testimony I will gladly praise - that QH is such a weirdo, but you put your halter on her and she is just happy as a little bug in a rug. She doesn't flip her head or get upset."

Regular Sidepull Halter, 9' Loop Reins with Button Loop Connectors, 12' Lead Rope with eye splice and plain tail


"Just a note to say I got the package and I love the halter! It fits well with a good length to fasten without being floppy. Thank you so much for the extra notes you enclosed so I have the ability to make adjustments."


Pam from Texas

12' lead rope with 3-bite cowboy knot marker, 5/8" rope


" The lead rope is fantastic.  Wow!   My 13 y/o daughter said, "I'm obsessed with this lead rope."  :-)   Then she promptly said, "I want a y-knot hackamore and mecate reins.   It would make a good Christmas present!"  
I took the lead rope to Lazy Acres Equines on Friday to show off the new lead rope.   Michelle thought the marker was such a great idea to make it easy to tell it was my rope and not get confused.  She was astounded when I told her the marker was at 4' from the snap.   "Oh, that is way better than tape!"   The others at lessons "oohed and ahhed" over the lead rope, too!   
We've been having fun and success with the lead rope.  Thanks again.

Sidepull Set - regular sidepull halter with chain brain noseband; 9' reins with crown knot button loops; 10' lead rope with stainless steel bolt snap and leather popper.


I LOVE my side pull halter you made.  I'm so glad I had you make both styles so I could try them. This is the one I prefer ... it is very comfortable for me as well as fitting Kara Mel perfectly. We both love it. ... It's so nice to have tack that fits so nicely, works well, is attractive and not like anything anyone else has.

22' Mecate with basic button; 1-piece slobber straps


"  My order arrived yesterday and I am SO excited!  You do amazing work!  It's perfect...exactly what I wanted!  The workmanship on the knot is stunning.  I am a knitter, spinner, and weaver, so I really appreciate any kind of intricate handwork.
I can't thank you enough for getting my order to me SO quickly.  I will spread the word of your talent here in central PA and I'm sure to be a return customer. There will be people from all over at the Buck Brannaman clinic I am attending in September, and I'm sure people will ask where I got my mecate reins. Again, thanks so much.  My beautiful golden Haflinger, Rocky, will be stylin' in his new tack! "

"Just a note from another happy customer!  I ordered my mecate rein and slobber straps WAY back in April for my Haflinger, Rocky.  We JUST got back on Monday from the Buck Brannaman clinic we attended in Catasaqua, PA....not only was the clinic fantastic, but your mecate rein was fabulous in every way.  Functional and stylish!!  

..... wanted to say thanks and let you know how much we love your product!

9' reins with crown knot button loops


" Received the reins today, installed them at lunch and used them this afternoon.  The button-on attachments were exactly what I wanted.  So easy to install, especially with cold fingers.  My compliments on your excellent workmanship.  These reins are so much nicer than mass produced ones.  I prefer Made In America and  I do try to make an effort to buy  from small businesses and artisans.  I am very pleased with my order and will keep your cards for anyone who might be interested."

Wow! ... I am thunderstruck. This rope is absolutely beautiful! ... The braiding work is so perfect. ... I am overwhelmed with how beautiful everything is and how wonderful it feels in my hands. ... I tried the halter on my horse Daphne and it FITS! The fit is incredibly perfect, like a glove. ... Thanks again for a wonderful product and making it available for my horse and I to share in the joy of using it.


Ann from Alabama

I have a lot of happy customers and some of them send pictures of their horses with the tack they ordered. It is great to see the tack "in action".  Sometimes they might not have the halter pulled up tight enough, or they have it tied on with a "different" knot, or the angle of the picture or the lighting isn't the best but I am very grateful they took the time to take the pictures and send them to me.  I also appreciate their comments and have asked permission to print them on my website.  I have included some pictures and/or testimonials on this page so you can see what the tack looks like on different horses and read some customer reviews of my products.  Go to Photo Gallery to see more sets of matching tack or visit the individual products pages from the top menu for more information on a particular item.

"Just want to thank you. Tiffany's halter is wonderful! It fits her perfectly and the quality is exceptional.  Thank you so very much. the family and I are recommending you to all who will take notice and I posted a pic of her in it on my FB page.

Extra knots halter, soft rope, cowboy knots on cheek pieces - draft size


"Thanks again for the great job you did last month on his halter.  I really like the color on him and am planning to get in touch this summer for another one.

 I do actually like the longer poll strap as my horse is much taller than I am -- I"m only 5'4" and it's not easy to reach up there and get it around his head, so the new halter has made things a bit easier for me."

"  I just received Sundance’s beautiful hackamore that you made for him.  I love the colors and the high quality materials you used and the reins are great.   Your craftsmanship is the best that I have ever seen and it was definitely worth the price.  I am totally pleased and I will be purchasing more Y Knot Rope Tack in the future.  I am looking forward to performing with Sundance in his new purple and black natural hackamore in all of our upcoming events this year.  ..... I enjoyed communicating with you in ordering this bosalter natural hackamore and it ended up being just what I wanted in color, style, fit and craftsmanship. "

Custom Buckaroo Bridle sets


" Oh my gosh we LOVE our tack.  I can't even begin to tell you how completely pleased we are with the quality and workmanship.  Thank you so much for taking the time to make such beautiful sets!  I cannot wait to show my riding buddies, they are going to just die when they see our tack!  I absolutely love both sets and you can bet that from now on our tack will be Y Knot Tack! You just can't find something that is handmade, custom/one-of-a-kind, well made, and will last a lifetime for that price, if you could even find it at all!! We ran out to the pasture as soon as it came in the mail and made our boys take time out of their grazing schedule to try on their new gear...in fact we ran out so fast we didn't bring a camera, so we will send photos to you tomorrow.  Thanks again and I will be sure to pass along to all of our horsey friends how pleased we are with everything. And it was SO thoughtful of you to include two chin straps, they are wonderful!!  Thanks sooooo much!!!!!."
