Red Rose Bridle










Here is the headstall that I built for my brother James. It is a brow-band, throte-latch style that has double adjustment on both sides. It has beautiful red rose marble-like keepers at the top. The brow-band has small nickle spots and large ruby gems. Along is a matching ruby/nickle flower design on the sides. (That is the design that both James and his wife Larissa have on their belts,*See Larissas Belt Post)
Notes: I did not build the tie down that is underneith the headstall.
James built the custom heart bit. *See the Reeds Blacksmith Shop side link for more infomation.

Buck-Stitched Chinks


Here are my chinks that I built for myself. I wanted something different so I put buckstitching on these.

They have basic nickle buckles and conchos, and extra-long fringe.

Saddle Bag




Here is a single saddle bag that Sam made for his saddle.
Pricing for one like this would be $45.
