8plait nylon snaffle bit split reins. I created an asymetrical pattern its over 2 under 2 from the left and over 1 under 1 over 1 under 1 pattern from the right. This is a pair of reins that I braided for my boss's son had a benefit silent auction. Let me know of ideas for improvement, and thanks for taking the time to look! Brent

Thanks! I really try to get everything strait before I start the interweave. The terminal knots were tricky with the shape. Later I saw most people back off of the bights and build up to over 3 under3 or over 4 under 4 and even then add one row of color to fill in the space. I had more trouble building up to over 3 under 3 of keeping the straghtness. ANy suggestions? The ring I used is actually two rings side by side. I saw some Ortega hobbles in Santa Ynez like that, and really liked it. So I did it as well... Thanks again. Thanks! I appreciate that. Thank you Rob for taking a look. I appeciate it. Ill post some more items as time permits!!! Yes it is. Thanks for all of your input. I appreciate it. If you send me your email address or I can tag your pics in facebook of you in Elko, if you'd like them???

These hobbles are my first all rawhide braiding project. They are 8 plait body, laced together, 10 bight turks head with herringbone interweave in an over 2 under 2 pattern on the terminal knots, 8 bight turkshead with herringbone interweave in an over 2 under 2 pattern on the slide knots, and 8 bight turkshead with herringbone interweave in an over 3 under 3 pattern for the keeper knots. I would like to get some input on how to improve my rawhide braiding from other braiders and leather workers. Thanks, Brent
