rawhider Report post Posted December 27, 2007 a set of yak hair reins that finished a couple days ago. the tassles are from the owners horse, and it's my first real attempt at horse hair braiding. i usually braid a pineapple knot at the end, but i thought i'd try something different. i think it turned out okay what about you folks?

Opagon Report post Posted December 27, 2007 For a first attempt, I think they turned out great. For critique, I would talk to Horsehair and find out how to keep the fly aways down to a minimum and get a more finished look on the knots. Heather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorsehairBraider Report post Posted December 27, 2007 Nice! That knot is called either a "terminal turk's head" or a "footrope knot" depending who you ask. When I do mine, I first coat the foundation, then tie a covering knot over the top. That's how I get the nice smooth finish. But the look you have here is great. I certainly would not hesitate to use these reins. When I read the thread title, I imagined all the non-fiber people thinking this was made of yak vomit. Made me smile...
