@Alexis1234 I'm not a great connoisseur of horses and horse harness, but it seems to me that your work is quality and good .

You guys are awesome! Better advice could not be had. I sent her a quote last night, waiting on response. I based my price after looking at a medium price bridle that didn't have as  many shaped pieces as mine (crown layer and noseband), nor the fancy rosettes, but did have stitched keepers... It's really not about the money- I'm kind of flattered? that someone liked it well enough to inquire and it gives me an excuse to make another bridle  We'll see what happens

Hey, over the past couple of weeks I have been trying to work out a similar problem for our shop. I am new also, I’ve been leather working for about two years now and we are just starting to sell our saddles and tack now. 

I subscribed to Don Gonzales newsletters and blog posts a while back and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. He puts out tons of great resources. He has an article on how to price your products on his website, one is a link to a video and the other is the actual article for pricing. I don’t use his exact formula but it gave me a great foundation for what we finally settled on. I’m sorry I don’t have the link to post but if you google don Gonzales pricing it will be one of the top results. Good luck and that bridle looks great!

Seriously good advice from previous posters. I'll add my 'horsey person' two cents (for what it's worth). If you have a (not judging!) middle-aged, East Coast female wanting to purchase custom driving harness (in whole or parts) I can almost promise you she has seen every scrap of harness from here to England and liked yours the best.

You know how horse people are with tack. If they love it enough, they'll pay for it. Last set of harness I worked with was oil-dyed, Amish made mule harness (large, draft size). Weighed a ton and you could not tear it up (trust me, the mules tried).
