Also, is there a way to edit my original post where the photos dissapeared?

 

You should be able to edit your post. Are you or aren't you able to edit it? If not, just post new photos in your reply.

Some websites frown on hotlinking to their copyrighted images.

Not sure how I can add photos as a guest.  But I did take our current harness and removed the cross piece at the chest. Made by DogLine (called soft rolled leather harness). It helped but the straps are, in my opinion, too short and the junction hits her right on top of the shoulder joint.  The harness made by TrePonti fits much better and the attachment points are much higher on her body but the width and material creates massive matts.  If I could get the size and design of the angle structure in the TrePonti (size 3) constructed in rolled leather it might be perfect.  

If anyone is interested in helping I can provide an email (not sure of forum rules on this) to expedite images and measurement transfer.

The technique of creating a rolled or round strap is known in the saddlery trade as "round reins," which gets its name from its usage in horse reins. Some old school leathercrafters (like me) have a special bench mounted tool that is used to force folded bridle leather into a round shape. In doing so, the stitches are buried inside the leather. It is not trivial, nor cheap to make these round rein straps. But, to look at a perfectly round strap afterwards ..... ah.

I would love a quote on a 18" (sized from start of leather (not including buckle) to the hold at which her current collars are buckled. I'd love a saddle tan with brass hardware. Also can you do this as a martingale? 

Thanks in advance!

I don't know what "a Martingale" means. Would you care to elaborate? I am a general category leather maker. I don't specialize in horse tack.

A martingale can be done with another piece of leather or usually with a brass chain. I'll attach a couple of photos.

I can probably make that type of collar. It won't be cheap or be done quickly. send my an email or PM to discuss the details.
