Cowboy Up your Tack & Saddle with Silver...........

As mentioned before and below,
trends in Horse tack seem to follow cycles.

The use of silver adornments on Western
Horse tack is seeing favor by many
western performance Horsemen

There are so many affordable styles
of Conchas and buckle sets on the
market today it very easy to
cowboy up your horse tack.....

They are still handcrafted and
engraved as the old time styles were.....
Very high quality and still very
affordable!!

There are more styles available
because many different finishes have
been developed......
You now have choices like antiqued,
pictured to the right, that give you
the old west weathered look right
off the shelf.......

The upper right picture is the
new concha buckle set. It gives
you an old west look......

These are all easy to put on
your bridle, saddle, and breast collar...

The conchas come with a bridle loop back

for your headstall .....

Screwback or slots for your saddle....

Some headstalls have Chicago screws
at the buckles making it easier to change

them out for silver....
If not you can have a saddle repairmen
or shoe shop modify it for you.....

I see the trend now swinging back
to the old west past when more silver
was popular...

The wider shaped headstall cheeks
with conchas running up and down

them and all over the breast collars ....


You can see how beautiful this

slobber strap looks with a simple
silver buckle!!!!

It also makes it so easy to

change out your mecate
and bit....

The Natural Horsemanship movement has created highly functionable Horse Tack......

The Natural Horsemanship Movement has
evolved tack items as Mecates, slobber straps,

Rope Halters and complete Mecate Bridles

into very popular training and pleasure

riding choices. They are all so versatile........

Rope halters of course have no hardware and

are so adjustable. They are designed to place

pressure points were needed and roll up into
an easy pack away size or leave on under your bridle.....

There are now designs with rings tied into the cheeks

to connect your reins to and ride on down the trail......

Side pull headstalls have evolved somewhat from

this also.....

Mecates tied onto your bridles with slobber straps

have become so popular because they are available

in so many different materials to fit your personal

preferences. Also because you can easily adjust the

length of your reins......

Slobber straps are also available in many different

styles. From plain get the job done, to custom

hand tooled, also with silver conchas and buckles....

The popular ones lately buckle on and off the bit

without having to untie your mecate.....

Spring is Here!! Time to Prep your Tack.....

It is time before you start your spring rides to seriously inspect, clean, condition and oil all your quality horse tack.

First take everything apart and inspect all your tack for wear, especially at all areas as pictured were your tack folds around the bits, buckles and saddle riggings.. ...

This is were there will be the most wear and stress.....
Replace any parts cracked or stretched.....

Chancing it is not worth the piece of mind and safety risk......

Quality leather horse tack will be more durable and much
less likely to crack..

Unlike imported tack that has no integrity and will crack
and stretch making it unsafe!!!

Secondly clean all well with lots of water and glycerin

saddle soap. Don't be afraid to get your tack wet. You have to get all the dirt and sweat out.

Third hang it all to dry.

Before it is completely dry oil with a good quality neetsfoot oil...

The drying process will help suck the oil into the leather....

As pictured to the right we offer wear leathers on all

our off billets because it stops your saddle rigging dee rings

from wear into the billets. Causing a stress point!!
