Bad Mountain Mohair

10/06/2024

I've got this *very lightly* used 34" straight cutter with nylon center for sale.
Regular $140, now $100; will ship as always.

Sage and sand with locally hand-dyed rust two ply detail, Jeremiah Watt/Horseshoe Brand centre D rings.

I built this for myself and after selling some things, and some horses, it's bigger than what I need because of course that's what happens 🙄😂

Couple customs sent out today, fluorescent lights chiming in to bum me out, but you get the idea.

It's been a busy few months, I know I should post more but life gets in the way.
Yesterday we moved some cows up the mountain, and the ol' ranch mare, Con, wore a royal blue mohair puller I made a few years back. I didn't get a photo of her in it because we started at 4:30 and I am not built for coherence at that hour.
I never (why, who knows?) make things specifically for myself, but I do pick one or two in stock items for periodical structural integrity checks. They are then sold as used, at used prices, as I like to be able to cater to all budgets as much as I can.
The puller did great, it's been through some rough use and still does a beautiful job while complimenting the brassy copper of a hardy red mare.

“Know that old gelding of yours? You know, the trusty gelding who taught you to ride. We all have one in our pasture. He was the first horse you trusted with your kids. Everything this horse has done has had a purpose behind it.

Now his joints are starting to show arthritis from all the learning you two did together. He probably has slowed down and need a little extra food. Your family is ready for something with a little more speed and he doesn’t fit the bill. So you convince yourself you are letting him go so he can help teach another child. In your mind, you see him happily trotting down the road with a sweet little girl on his back.

In reality, that little girl will ride and love him for a few years. However, she outgrows him. He’s even slower and she’s ready to run. Her family is not bonded with your horse like you were. They sell him to the inexperienced family down the road.

This family knows nothing about horses. They don’t know how to feed an aged horse. He looses weight. Soon it’s so bad they keep him in the back pasture where no one can see him.
Finally, they take him to a sale.

No one at the sale wants a neglected, aged horse. So he goes through the ring and sells for $400 to a killbuyer. The killpen is where I find him. I know nothing about his history and nothing about his health. All I can see is the wisdom and pain in his eyes. I take him home.

As much as I love what I do, I would love to never see one of these poor old guys again. It breaks my heart to know that this is the story of so many animals out there.

So please, please keep your aged horses. If you can no longer afford them, lease them to a friend or put them down. No one deserves for their life to end this way.”
