When the wife says we're buying new trailer tires this week...
Awesome to see rawhide braiding brought to light! Awesome to hear more of the back story of such a great rawhider!
Independence Day!!! Happy 4th of July! Have a blessed holiday! My braided tribute to America!
Not for the weak of heart! Lol! Fleshing, de-hairing, and stretching a longhorn hide on a 100+ degree afternoon! Worth the sweat I hope!
Mia, a 2yo we have in training, that is wearing a pony loping hackamore I made. She is 14.3, so not little, but has a baby doll head!

A week ago, Don spent several days in the hospital. His heart is weaker than it should be. He is now home and is on 24 hour oxygen. talking to him yesterday, he sounds like the same good old Don. Keep him and Chrissie in your Prayers.
We’ll be keeping the Gofundme live through the end of the week! Your donations would be a blessing to them. ❤️

Grass Loping Hackamore #2
8 strand square braided grass hackamore w/ paracord buttons! Soft feel, w/o a core, with a heavier heelknot to help it release quicker.
Just came across these pics from 2017. A 3/4" all latigo bosal for great friends Lee & Ashley Deacon of Deacon Equine! Was pleased how it finished up. I'm thankful, for having great horsemen/women, and mentors who've helped get me to where I am today! Have a blessed week!
For a good cause! I'm so grateful for all the time, and effort Don Brown has invested into me as a person, as a horseman, and especially as a braider! Prayers for you Don, & Chrissie! It's amazing how many people are coming together for such a great Benefit Auction!

12 Strand Paracord Twist Hobbles, w/ rawhide button. The rawhide was dyed with black walnut hulls!
In loving memory of my dear friend Dave Klesper! I'm so grateful Don Brown, and Kathy Klesper got me in touch with you as a beginning braider. Your craftsmanship in rawhide, steel, and silver was unmatched, and a keen horseman to boot.
Hope my horses, and braiding make you proud, and maybe someday I'll try to get a bit finished as well!
First time to brand any of my braiding! See Up Ranch brand on the first double rope schooling hackamore, with matching mecate! A couple of braiders pointed out to me that making loping hackamores I can't really improve my braiding skills for when I get back to making "real" leather, and rawhide bosals! They may be right, but my version of trying to see if they could be wrong!
Earth toned! Chocolate Brown, Walnut Brown, and Rust!
Put a new hanger on this two-rein bosalita for Andy Johnson! The hanger had to be very narrow, so I tried a new concept for me. Adding a bracelet ring to run the hanger through. Would still breakaway in an emergency, but let the hanger last a little longer before needing to be replaced.
Processing a big elk cow hide into rawhide!
Scalding an elk cow hide after a days work. A great 8pm to 1 am job! Had to get it fleshed, de-haired, stretched, scudded, rinsed, and dried before the big freeze!
Happy New Year to all of our customers, friends, and family! 2023 has been the best year yet! The Lord has truly blessed us. With health, marrying my best friend Dana, with creative new takes on my braided gear, with amazing braiding/rawhide mentors, and with the best friends, and customers anyone could imagine! Thanks for all of the support, and encouragement! May 2024 be a year full of blessings to us all! Here we come New Year!
Twist Hobbles Available! Great to put on to saddle colts, and get them on/off easy, and keep on your back dee. Holiday deal $70.00 w/ free shipping in the lower 48 states.
Sold! Going to a great craftsman, and cowhorse trainer!
8 Plait Square Loping Hackamore w/ Custom matching mecate.
8 plait square braided stiff polyester cord, but the frame is not braided around a core. It's soft as far as life, but the rigidity of the braid gives a unique feel on the nose. Also, I built up the heelknot bigger than normal so the weight helps it release easier even if it doesn't have a core. It was a custom order that was unpaid so it's available. Pm if interested. Thanks!
C**t starting season is here! Had this near pony sized loping hackamore sitting around. I put a heelknot, side buttons, hanger, and reins on last night to use on a couple of very fine muzzled fillies.
Walnut Brown, Chocolate Brown, & Rust!
Big ol' black & white dairy cross cow! It turned out pretty thin.
Putting a couple of new techniques to use from the hide making class last week!
The last of the in stock inventory for the year. I'm finishing a couple of orders, and starting to work on cutting up leather, and rawhide. Pm if interested.

Checking, and replacing some tie strings on a few work headstalls. Although these strings are intended to break in case of an accident, they do need replaced periodically to keep them from breaking during a normal ride. I'll post some pictures of some faulty string, the replacement strings and the finished result.
Here's a video we took for a customer wanting to see me put my style of twist hobbles on, and see them taken off. This was in a stall on a Metallic Rebel yearling for the sake of a video, but the same applies when I use them to saddle colts in the round pen. ***Note: I almost always lead colts/horses alike by all 4 feet in the round pen to teach them to yield to pressure on each leg prior to hobbling!
This is how I keep my twist hobbles on my saddle, but so they don't catch on brush in the pasture or so your spurs wouldn't hang up while dismounting.
Overtime processing hides at night before the freezing weather! A fallow deer hide, 2 elk hides, and 2 cow hides.
