I've been waiting SO long to be able to share this VERY special custom order!!!
I don't normally get to make a lot of my own products for myself, but I said that when Dakota won her first buckle I was going to make a new belt for it! At our 10th annual Dave Billotte Sr. Memorial shoot last month, we won our class and Dakota earned her first buckle so it was time to make that new belt! The buckle was being mailed and I just received it Saturday! So it's FINALLY time to show off the most meaningful project I've ever made!!!
✨Two tone floral tooled
✨Dakota and I chasing down Monte our longhorn (notice I even have my Hawaiian shirt on🫣)
✨My remuda that holds my heart
✨Grouse feathers, autumn olives, golden rod and turquoise
✨ Turquoise & red accents
✨ And peep at that teeny tiny cowgirl leaning up against the B!
But my favorite feature of this belt, is the carving I did on the backside, all Dakota and I special dates. The day I got her, the day I put the first ride on her, the day I got her branded and the day we won our first buckle together. This belt holds so much meaning, carved into every detail. As soon as I got the buckle, it went on the belt and I went for a ride with my girl. And notice all the fun little things in the background, those are all pieces of our story.
