Z/B Braiding

Finished up this cavesson this morning! First one I’ve made and I think it turned out pretty well.

Made a slit ear headstall the other day. hoping to have a few more coming along!

Finished up this mecate on an order recently! It is 23 feet long and 8 strands with a core. Thanks Caleb for the order!

Just finished this set of split reins up! They are an 8 strand square braid that are 8 feet long. They turned out great! Thank you Garrett for the order!

Little under bridle made from an olde rope with elkhide buttons and a get down rope I finished up!

Practicing nose buttons and heel knots has been pretty fun! I’m finally starting to figure it out. Bosal 3 is a 5/8 and turned out better than the second one. I also finished a small under bridle as well. It is made with an old rope and some elk rawhide. There’s a ton of room for improvement before I can offer any for sale, but there should be some rawhide products coming soon!

Finished up my second bosal this morning! It is 100% elk hide and finished at 1/2”. Really happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to the next one!

Always cool to see reins I have made being put to work! One set are coastal reins that are 30” long that I dyed dark with coffee and the other set are 42” with more of a natural color.

Finished my first bosal underbridle a few weeks ago and forgot to post about it! It turned out pretty well considering it's my first one. It was a great learning process. I can only go up from here. I hope to start selling bosals this summer, so stay tuned for orders and items I’ll have up for sale! I should have some coming soon. This was made with an elk hide that I was given by a friend.

Another couple projects finished up! Three neck ropes and a set of dark coffee dyed coastal romals with some conchos on the popper.
