mrm Report post Posted January 14, 2009 Hi. My husband and I are wanting to experiment with making our own headstalls. However, we have not the first idea as to where to start. I need advice on what kind of leather I need, where to buy the leather, and how I should go about starting the process? Any information will be a great help!

Elton Joorisity Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Purchase Tom Hall's "Western Tack Tips" and More Western Tack Tips" through Hidecrafters. Leather choice is entirely up to you and what you like to use ie, latigo, harness or veg tan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrooperChuck Report post Posted January 21, 2009 If you have a Tandy Leather Factory store near you, pick up one of their "Horse Tack Accessory" pattern packs. They have patterns for halters, bridles, breast collars, hobbles, and other stuff. The patterns are simple and none of it is difficult to make. Later, as your skills improve, you can look for more advanced patterns. The people in the store can give you advice on what kind of leather and tools you'll need.
