You may choose light, Medium, Dark or Black for any of your purchases. I will contact you after check out for your selection.

Leather:
I am super picky about leather quality! I simply will not put my designs on inferior or import leather products it's as simple as that!I have been an authorized Weaver Leather dealer for 5 years now and use their leather products exclusively for my designs. All tack is doubled and stitched! My customers often comment how they love the soft, suppleness of the hand rubbed leather and how these leather products hold up year after year! To the left is a scan of the typical leather oil colors that I offer...light, medium, dark and black. I can also hand oil to match your saddle, just ask! Keeping in mind that leather is a natural animal skin product and that each hide or skin is process in different batches. A lot of my customers send me a scan of their saddle and I will oil to match from there. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I also do professional leather dyeing and can do this as well.

Stones:
All turquoise used is genuine! I am picky about quality stones! All turquoise that I choose for my designs has been coated with a clear resin which makes it perfect for tack! This coating prevents the turquoise from discoloring due to sunlight, sweat, oils and water. You can oil around the stones and they will not be affected. With all other gemstones, I also only pick quality stones so you are assured of a gorgeous product each and every time!

Extra Perks:
With every purchase you will receive a complimentary gemstone, turquoise and silver polishing cloth! With this polishing cloth you can keep your silver and stones looking new for a long time. This cloth works wonders and a quick rub of the cloth brightens any tarnish that naturally occurs with silver.

How to clean:
After you oil your leather or clean it in the normal fashion use your polishing cloth (used by professional jewelers around the world for cleaning and shining their jewelry) to buff and polish your gems and silver. This cloth will last and last and does not require cleaning. This polishing cloth works absolute wonders on silver accents, conchos, gemstones and turqouise. Use it until it's shredded and simply discard. It is a special treated cloth that polishes and shines silver, turquoise and other gemstones. Very little rubbing is needed and you can buff over the custom work for a nice clean up and shine. Instructions are included with the polishing cloth and it comes in a plastic package for easy storage. Crystals clean up with regular water or a damp cloth!

Tip:
In addition to the polishing cloth, here's a cleaning tip: Any type of leather good that have stones, crystals and silver will get dirt and dust in between the stones and custom work. What works great is to have a can of pressurized air on hand..simply blow out the dirt or dust from around the custom work. It's cheap and works great. The Polishing cloth buffs and cleans, the air loosens the dust.

And as always, I STAND BEHIND my work and will always be available after the sale to answers questions about your tack

Please note when purchasing items separately (a headstall now and breast collar a few months later)...I cannot guarantee matching stone color for items such as breast collars and reins that are purchased at a later date.

Sizing:

Barrel racers or riders that have a horse 'hard to fit' with conventional headstalls rejoice! For years I have been custom sizing headstalls for my customers that have barrel horses which use a gag type bit or horses with heads hard to fit. I can revamp headstalls larger or smaller on size for crown strap, cheek pieces and chin straps. Straight browbands can be custom made as well (not v-brows) to fit a wider or narrower brow. There is a mininal upcharge for this and it's worth it to get the perfect fit. I must say that the headstalls and breast collars I use are fully adjustable and most don't need altering, but I can crop to fit so don't feel bad about special measurements! **Most of the time all I need to do is crop the crown strap to fit and there is NO charge for this!

Leather Color:

As mentioned in the 'Leather' department of my page I do custom oiling to matching your existing tack or saddle at no extra charge! If you want to match your saddle send me a picture of your saddle and I will oil to get the closest match as humanly possible. I also do professional dyeing of leather and can dye to any color (almost literally any!)

Email if you have any questions!

**Please note: I cannot guarantee a stone color match for any items purchased at a separate date from one another. I will strive to get as close a match as possible. PURCHASE ITEMS as a set and SAVE MONEY!

**Unless otherwise noted, items are not in stock, I make each item as ordered. Because of the custom nature of my tack it takes 2-4 weeks to complete your order.
