Members Lorrso Posted July 16, 2009 Members Report Posted July 16, 2009 And also the first item I post here! Sedgwick leather, completely handstitched. Please tell me what do u think (feel free to critique, I'm here to learn). Thank you L. Quote
Members KcKenny Posted July 16, 2009 Members Report Posted July 16, 2009 I won't be much help because I don't know a thing about horse gear, but it looks very nice. The stitching looks good. And your horse is pretty, if that helps at all. Quote Thanks to all of the artists who are willing to share their experience.
Members SouthPaw Posted July 16, 2009 Members Report Posted July 16, 2009 like kckenny i havent done anything for a horse, but it looks very professional....and i like the horse allot too. im sure others will chime in soon. Quote SouthPawArt.com Southpaw Art - Etsy
Members imw Posted July 16, 2009 Members Report Posted July 16, 2009 Thats a very nice headcollar I particularly like the padding on the nose and cheek pieces. Also the brass hardware looks much nicer than the the stainless steel ones. Where did you get the hardware from as i have only been able to locate stainless steel for my bridlework. Ian Quote

Ian Ian, In the UK try http://www.abbeysaddlery.co.uk/ as they have a wide selection. If you order from them, be very specific about what you want. Though they have always been helpful, they sometimes assume you have the same knowledge of the trade as they do and it can lead to the odd misunderstanding in deliveries. Gary Quote

Gary Thanks Garry I will look them up on the Internet, Couldnt find out locally as there are not any proper saddlers around where I live any more so cant get local knowledge. Ian Quote
Members Lorrso Posted July 17, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 17, 2009 Thank you very much for all your comments! Thanks Garry I will look them up on the Internet, Couldnt find out locally as there are not any proper saddlers around where I live any more so cant get local knowledge.Ian More or less the same problem here: I must move 200km to reach a proper saddler, so I prefer to order online what I need. But in Italy it seems nobody want to sell small quantities to hobbyists like me, so I must order abroad or overseas. For saddlery leather and hardware, the up-mentioned Abbey is an invaluable source. I use to order also from an US store called Ryans Products LLC (http://www.ryansproducts.com/). Have a nice day, L. Quote
Slickbald Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Very nice! When did halters become "head collars"? I've been out of the horse world for a while; just curious. Quote Chris Andre Slickbald Custom Leather Maker's Leather Supply (.com)
Contributing Member barra Posted July 17, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted July 17, 2009 Halter is North American terminology and Headcollar (sometimes headstall) is British. Barra Quote "If You're not behind the Troops, please feel free to stand in front of them"
Members CarvedOn Posted July 19, 2009 Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 Fabulous job! Your head collar is beautiful and your and stitching is very nice. Quote
