I've only found the plain ones...thanks Yep, these have to be custom made - I'm a braider, saddlemaker, tooler - if you want to discuss having a carved popper made, let me know....I have a few different patterns for romal poppers, and I can line and stitch the popper - my Landis 3 is set up to stitch 6 stitches to the inch - will make a pretty popper! You can visit my website - www.liggettenterprises.com, my contact info is there if interested... Quote Shelly

Reminds me too just how much I still have to learn... Thanks for the compliments - I'll be braiding up a bosal for an overseas client soon. It will have a mane hair rope, braiding on popper and knot to match the bosal, and a backbraided hanger... Quote Shelly
Members entiendo Posted October 25, 2010 Members Report Posted October 25, 2010 I'm thinking I'm going to make the romel rein plunge very soon, and of course I would need a fancy popper! Quote
Members Shelly Posted October 25, 2010 Members Report Posted October 25, 2010 I'm thinking I'm going to make the romel rein plunge very soon, and of course I would need a fancy popper! If I can ever get all my repair work and the orders done, I plan to start on a nice pair of 12 plait roo romal reins - will have a carved/stitched/lined popper, 12 plait on the rein body, and 24 plait on the romal, with rawhide knots. the knots will have an interweave pattern - will probably dye the rawhide string I use, most likely will use coffee grounds or walnut hulls to make the dye.

Members entiendo Posted October 25, 2010 Members Report Posted October 25, 2010 Those sound like sweet reins. Quote
Members Shelly Posted October 25, 2010 Members Report Posted October 25, 2010 Those sound like sweet reins. Should be - I have core material that was graded/sorted, and trimmed to length, from Luis Ortega's stock, to use in them! Quote Shelly
