I just finished these for the wife for Christmas. It's kind of step by step. I didn't have any tracing paper, so I drew it on some heavy construction paper, then cut it out and free handed the inside of the pattern on the leather.

Oh man - she is going to love those! They are really beautiful.

They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a prince as soon as his groom. - Ben Jonson

rawhider, don't get me wrong or anything, but I'm at a bit of a loss here. "Slobber" straps, for your wife? What's a slobber strap?, my thinking is going way out in left field on this one.

They do look very nice though.

Not being a horse person, this thread alarmed me. I was picturing Mrs. Rawhider drooling with leather binding her chin- not a pretty mental image...but thank goodness for Google. Slobber straps keep the horse's reins out of the trough. Whew. Very nice, and thank you for sharing.

Thanks Johanna, my mental picture was about the same as yours. Glad we got that straightened out.

Nice straps rawhider. I like the shape and excellent carving and stamping too!!!

That's kind of like a head stall for non-horse people. My boss couldn't figure that one out. He decided a head stall must be a brain fart!
