Placing a leather order this Friday (3/22) all custom requests welcome! There will be a new bridle line similar to my previous with some size adjustments, BUT I will not be carrying the following items, so they require a pre-request (no prepaymet). We already have lots of special requests, so please don’t feel shy! As always, parts are mix and match sizing

We will no longer stock (without special order prior to a leather order)

White padding on any nosebands
Flash nosebands
Flash straps for nosebands
Figure-8 nosebands with sheepskin buttons
Draft sized parts
Wide style crownpieces
Brown patent leather nosebands
Straight shaped clincher browbands
Clincher browbands with any metal color other than gunmetal
Extra Full size halters (extra full crowns *will* be available to mix with a full sized halter)
Halters with brass hardware
V shaped browbands (for custom or clincher)
Patent leather browbands of any type
Clip cheekpieces
Clip Reins

Sidepull Nosebands: I love our bitless option for both bitless and bitted work. It has been a lovely way to transition horses into bits, or out of being heavy in hand. The simplest part is that the sidepull noseband is nearly identical to our standard Cavesson for ease of transition. Cheers!! -Janice

Due to OUTSTANDING requests, I'll be fabricating a limited number of pre-order halters. Choose your leather color (black or brown) padding color (black, brown or white) finish (flat or patent) and hardware color (silver or brass). They will NOT be stocked due to my tiny little cabin where I cannot hang them. $125/each. Wait time is around 1 month.

No noseband? No problem. We make anatomical crowns that can be used either without a noseband, without a bit or without a throatlach. Choose your own adventure!

Does your horse destroy things? Mine too. NOT TO WORRY! We do repairs of previously made items. Send a photo of what 'el Destructo' did and I'll see if we can help. If not, we can definitely use crystals or beads to make you something new!

For all my spikey friends-- custom orders are back! Choose your spike finish (yes these are solid nickel spikes custom made for BJR) and your leather size/color. Currently on sale for $85 so we can spike out the nation!

Happy New Year from the snowman eating reindeer and me! I am personally in quarantine after exposure to COVID-19 by a symptomatic housemate who refused to follow state and local protocols and chose to travel home anyways.

Hearts out to everyone taking care of themselves, their relatives and the general public by being careful, vigilant and respectful of other's health and livelihoods. Stay strong and stay careful!

No orders are being made, and no shipments will be packed until full 10 days quarantine with negative tests are consistently passed.

Hi All!

Thank you so much for the lovely messages, and I hope all are spending as much time with their families and horses as possible during this difficult time.

We have paused all our media channels, and new leather orders for thesis writing while quarantined. We will absolutely be accepting requests for SPIKE or Swarovski Browbands, but all will come with a 7 day PACKAGE quarantine before shipping. All of our items are handmade and we will not risk the transmission of virus.

Our browband stocks/sizes are slightly limited due to the lack of new leather orders, but requests are welcome.

Please email directly to [email protected] and we would be happy to discuss options.

Cheers and much love,

J&J&B

**NOT ALL CRYSTALS ARE SWAROVSKI**

Beware of other lower-quality crystals being marketed as Swarovski due to confusion with the name.

Swarovski is a brand name manufacturer that makes the highest optical quality precision cut crystals. Based in Austria, Swarovski has been producing crystals since 1892. These crystals come with a hefty price tag because of their unmatched optical quality and precision cuts.

Don’t be afraid to ask your seller questions about the origin of the crystals! If the price seems too good to be true, it very well may be!
