Hey all:
I am a long time hobby leather worker and restorer, but am hit with a project that I need to as for help. (My daughter is an (English) rider and has advanced to a regional show, and needs a nicer halter).
The place I am stuck is making the throat latch- it is rounded and has flat ends to attach to a ring at one end, and a snap at the other.
I have a rein rounder in my tool box (I picked it up a decade or two ago figuring I would need it someday<G>), and have found a good tutorial online how to lube and round reigns, etc...
My question is the ends- does anyone have a pattern or a drawing of the proportion of the folded over English point that goes around the ring?
I hope this question makes sense- I know what I am asking, but am having a hard time putting it into words<G>
Many thanks
Hank
