Support Breast Cancer Awareness with Horse tack


Buckaroo Leather, Susan G Komen for the Cure, Boise Affiliate and Traditional Mohair Cinchas are proud to support breast cancer awareness with a custom piece of western horse tack.


"CINCH UP FOR THE CURE"
Buckaroo Leather will donate $20 from every Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Cinch
a
(item #C11V) sold to the
"SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE, BOISE AFFILIATE".
























Buckaroo Leather now offers the Buckaroo Cowboy Cincha (cincha on the right) with custom color combinations and the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon.



The pink ribbon traditional handmade (cincha on the left) Vaquero cincha is a custom made mohair cinch. The inspiration for this unique piece of traditional western horse tack came from a Breast Cancer survivor. It was a special gift to herself, a reminder, of her second anniversary of recovery.

The mohair cincha has the recognizable pink cancer awareness ribbon, with the colors, pink for breast cancer, white for purity and black to honor those who have lost the battle.


This inspirational cincha is hand woven with care one thread at a time by Traditional Mohair Cinchas.

"The Vaquero cincha with the pink ribbon is an ever vigilant symbol of victory over breast cancer and a reminder that early detection of breast cancer saves lives".- Vicki Geretschlaeger (owner)


"It's great to be able to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Not only are our pink chinches promoting health for women, they are also helping horses these women ride, be more comfortable." - Val Littfin (owner)


How does this mohair cincha benefit the horse? Mohair, a natural animal fiber, is the long, silky hair of the Angora goat which has been carded, spun and corded. Not only does mohair wick sweat and moisture away from your horse, it is breathable, soft, resilient and durable.

Mohair cinches are a good choice for horses who chafe or are allergic to synthetic or non-breathing materials commonly used in today's cinches. Mohair's durability and breath ability make it an ideal material for comfortable, sturdy and long lasting cinches.


If you have a loved one, friend, or are a breast cancer survivor yourself, and are a horse enthusiast, help Buckaroo Leather and Traditional Mohair Cinchas raise awareness and hope.........

Seventy-five percent of the proceeds raised by Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Boise Affiliate are awarded via grants to organizations for programs that offer breast cancer education, screening or treatment.

Silver the Vaquero Tradition of Adorning Your Western Horse Tack



Does your western horse tack and saddle need some "shine" or "spiffing up".....how about the traditional Vaquero ornament of silver.

The Californio Vaquero's were skilled horseman who took great pride in their horsemanship and their western horse tack. Looking good was as important as riding well.


The Californio Vaquero'
s western Saddles and horse tack were truly works of art. While the decoration styles remained very traditional, the saddle's decoration changed by geographical location and time. The Vaquero adorned their saddles with leather lacing, leather carving or stamping and of course engraved silver work.
This silver work can still be seen on Western Saddles of today. The Western Saddles of today reflect the beauty and tradition of the old Vaquero style. This silver decoration can be subtle or extreme. Whether it is an elaborate show or parade saddles or a custom everyday saddle, they all reflect the riders pride in their horsemanship and distinct style.
Below are just some of the ways to adorn your
saddle with engraved silver:

Silver trim is available in sets or as individual pieces. The most basic set includes two corner plates for the back corners of the skirts, a cantle plate, a horn cap, and 4 large and 2 small conchos. In addition to these pieces, you'll find silver trim designed for accenting stirrups and tapadaros(are covers or hoods for the front
of the stirrups), fenders, swells, rigging plates, latigo holders, buckles, breast plates and breast collars.


Silver conchos and trim are not just found on saddles- remember Roy Rogers' Trigger. Trigger's famous western breast collar was adorned with silver trim.


Conchos, buckles, silver trim, engraved silver are all beautiful pieces to add to your western horse tack........capture the Vaq
uero spirit or your own cowboy/cowgirl personality.....






Buckaroo Leather has gorgeous silver conchas to add to your leather horse tack..........and if you have a special style or look you want to capture contact me at 530-545-0139
