  1. I think I may do the same.....I've looked at your work on etsy...lovely!
  2. the one ear bridles is a pic someone sen me -- they want that bridle duplicated...then someone else told me that they were made with trenza patria ..myae it s NOT trenza patria at all.....but that was what I was after originally....lol....it definitely has the thicker edge as described here.....this one ...it looks like the finished edge is showing on both sides...maybe it is not on the back and just looks that way
  3. I am so confused.....lol
  4. whatdoes the back sode of this look like? I think this is what I did for these, but someone told me this is NOT the patria trenza
  5. by the first post do you mean the "no ear" bridles?
  6. Looking for information on Finch saddlery Albany OR. I bought this saddle at an auction ...supposedly made by Frank Finch in the 1940's......did some googling on Finch saddlery and not coming up with much. Seller claims it appraised for a lot of money back in the 70's ....just thought someone might know something. Sorry for the large pics --I though someone who kew something about saddle dating etc might need them to look at the details. thanks ...the el cheapo looking conchos and the fact that there is no number on the ID tag makes me suspect......but I like the saddle nonetheless
  7. I would be interested in these as well.....email me at admin@theahimsacollective.com if you would be interested thanks

  9. I will try and put something together - I kind of experimented until I found something that worked for me....
  10. the horse hair tassels on the ends?
  11. AWESOME! this is helpful.....
  12. when I do the square braid of 8 thongs (flattened out) p. 260 B.G. encylopedia of braiding this is what I get ....(made a lanyard out of my scratch piece---not what I am looking for and then played with the paracord and made a set of reins)
  13. hi I am looking for a reference or any help on how to do the trenza patria braid ....I have been told that it is the braid in Bruce Grant's Enclyo. of braiding p. 260 but that does not look like it when I do that. I know there has to be a reference out there as many are using it, I just can't find it and no one I have contacted who knows how apparently wants to let others know how....so, if anyone would be so kind to point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I think some confusion might come in what is considered this braid style? I am looking for the flat braid style that ends up looking finished on both sides.....someone suggested also that it might be simply a 16 plait round or square braided without a core flattened out exampled pics ganked from the web or sent to me by a customer......not my work. anyone who could help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Jen on pics...looking a flat part of bosal hanger (incredible isn't it?), flat part of "no ear" headstall, etc
