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.

Guest Evotz Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 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.

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! Kelly

I am a general category leather maker. I don't specialize in horse tack.

Members VukerCanine Posted August 22, 2017 Members Report Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) A martingale can be done with another piece of leather or usually with a brass chain. I'll attach a couple of photos. 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.
