A DSH Tack Supplies and Leathercraft first, a hybrid scabbard! When a customer approached us and asked if we could make some tweaks to a scabbard, we said of course! He doesn't ride much anymore, and wanted a more versatile scabbard that could carry a specific rifle of his, with an open bottom, AND be both a "back carry" with a cross body shoulder strap AND still be a saddle scabbard with the other straps should he so desire. Everyone knows how much we love "hybrid" products with a couple different sets of attachment straps to be so versatile so it just seemed like a fantastic project to work on! A back "quiver" if you will, but for a rifle. ;) Keeping it classy this hunting season with black on black (black leather and black stitching)! Mink oiled to be water resistant.

The back strap slides through the scabbard slots on the back, with a sliding shoulder pad, and a removable 5 shell ammo holder.

Coming soon!!! HORN mount/pommel mount Bottle Holders and Pouches!
Though we have our horn/pommel mount phone pouches, we will be adding a pommel mount pouch that is our 4x6x2 size (like the back cinch billet pouches) to our product line, as well as our 2 sizes of bottle holders, with a different back plate, in order to mount to the front of saddles, for those that don't ride with a back cinch!

What designs or colours do you folks want to see? Buckstitch? Roughout? Tooled? Stamped? Drop an idea in the comments!

Joey questions when he signed up for this nonsense. This gal is always putting stuff on me.....like what is this and why does it smell? 🤣

Squaw and Joey were super intrigued by Sherman the cat! Even when they aren't having a training session, horses still get lots of "random" exposure around here all the time!

Joey's video clips from Sept 26. Working more on saddling (though I had grabbed the wrong cinch so didn't cinch up with the saddle, just with the surcingle), and intro to ground driving and a teeny intro to bit pressure which he did pretty great with! On our way Joey, you big ham of a gelding you! He is so rolly polly (without even being "fat") that he will for sure need my wide ranch saddle and big breastcollar/back cinch set up like they all get anyways, but for the first few sessions, we use this old "c**t saddle", not nearly as "attached" to it as my ranch saddle. ;) Though I'm not too worried with this guy, he has been pretty sensible over all. The saddle even slide off at one point as he shifted his weight and he only had a minor flinch on the spot, and I was able to toss it right back up there without so much as a blink from him! We usually let the saddle pads slide off here and there as further desensitizing but I do try not to let the saddles do that, but happy that he was able to stay calm and sensible. Says a lot about his mind and the handling we have put there thus far. He arrived with Squaw and Clyde, and although a bit friendly and super curious, he was unhandled and not halter broke, so he has been doing really well to get to this point in roughly 66 days (total, they only get worked 5 sesions a week) with our Young Horse Development Program.

One of the newest fantasy pieces off the workbench - an "armor plate" style underbust/halter corset - in metallic zinc and gold, with a crimson red border and antique brass spots and hardware! Lace up back. Pretty excited about how it looks with both styles of tunic I have for my costume.

Slowly but surely, making pieces one at a time for the end goal of a fantasy with viking esk inspiration, mounted warrior "costume", which will see more armor pieces for myself, as well as for Thunder, our stallion! Any of the designs for any of it are available by custom order and no 2 pieces will ever be identical, I always make sure there are adjustments so that each fantasy piece can be unique to the customer that ordered it! Naturally, with our show colours being black/red, and the farm being Wolf Hollow Ranch, it made sense for all my own pieces to be "Fenrir" or wolf themed in their tooling!

Joey was quite the gentleman for a trim today! The pictures oddly make him look learner but he is a THICK, big bodied boy!! Wonder if his owner would notice his "disappearance" for the winter. I like this gelding a lot! 😉 Such a ham and a big softie and he tries so hard even when he is unsure.

These clips of Squaw were taken Sept 26. Though she still closely watches, and has that "urgh" expression on her face, she has really come around lately and we have been able to address some of that anxiety that she has been holding on to this whole time about being touched. Like Clyde, she catches on incredibly fast to all the groundwork that doesn't require me to have to touch her - Squaw leads in the training pen, yields her hip both directions, backs up, started on yielding the shoulder, started on lunging and yielding to a stop, and even started on sidepassing down the fence on line. But when it comes to catching, haltering, grooming, picking up feet, all the "touchy" things, she is still very much a work in progress. But, look how nice she stood to let me pick up both front feet yesterday! And was able to fiddle 2 handed with the halter for the first time. Must say, I've gotten good at tying rope halters one handed with her and Clyde. 😅 But we do what we have to do to stay safe, as well as work with the horse in front of us at their pace as they learn and gain confidence and trust. Squaw came in with Clyde just as feral and unhandled, and untrusting, so to see how she has been developing some curiousity and a bit of desire to interact is nice. She does approach me more times than not in the pen, or comes up to the fence to say hello, but since we struggle with the touching still, I unfortunately can't just walk up and pet her yet, or catch her without getting her into the training pen first.

Cylde is making some decent progress. Of course, he is still quite untrusting, nervous and sensitive, but, this was the first session I really felt that we had a couple tiny tidbits of him starting to relax to being touched and groomed, which for how "tricky" this guy has been, is a huge step forward! He also didn't shoot backwards when I took his halter off, or run off right away, he actually stayed with me for those few moments which is also a pretty big deal for this boy.

Clyde is a 3yr old gelding, a "bucking stock drop out" is how his owner referred to him as, who arrived approx 66 days prior to this video, very feral, and very unhandled. Its taken some time to get to this part, and a lot of work on my end, but very slowly, he is coming around! Though he catches on to the groundwork like leading, body control, lunging etc, the exercises that don't require me to touch him really quickly, anything that involved touching, including catching and haltering, is still tricky but we continue to work on it every day while continiuning the rest of his groundwork.

There will be some short clips scheduled to upload over the weekend of Squaw and Clyde (and Joey). Though both had to throw some drama into the mix today, both worked through a bit of their anxiety they have still been holding on to.

Squaw was able to calmly let me pick up and hold both front feet, and brush her from neck to flank. Getting her hip brushed was still very scary. Clyde was able to get brushed as well to about mid barrel both sides, and his forearm on both front legs, and for the FIRST time since he arrived, we actually had a moment on both sides while brushing where he actually allowed himself to breathe and relax a bit, even if it only lasted a short time. He also didn't shoot back and go the instant the halter came off, so we are slowly getting somewhere! He is still very nervous and untrusting, but we at least have been able to see smidges of promise here and there. Both were able to be caught (roped) and haltered in the training pen a lot faster than usual so there is that progress as well! One of these days buddy, you will be my friend!

Well silly me under estimated the size of cinch Mr Joey would need for his rolly polly self, so we didn't get cinched up today, but he moved around a bit with it on his back, and then we introduced ground driving very lightly with the surcingle and a bit of bit pressure as well and he did quite well with it all! Only a couple minor moments of unsure, but he settled nicely. His lunging and moving on cue is way smoother too, which will help once he is under saddle, so we are on the right track! This is just our "c**t saddle" that we use for the first couple saddled sessions before we worry about throwing the big ranch saddle around.
