Leatherwork

How is your tack made?

That is a great question! While we wont give away all of our secrets, I will do my best to explain the basics. Most of our leather pieces are double ply. We typically use 8/9 oz leather with a 5/6 oz liner. We use herman oak, bridle leather and latigo. Our designed leather is also sealed and protected.

How durable are your wear leathers?

They stay up great, in fact they hold up way better then leather paints. We will tell you that it is normal for any cinch areas to wear more then any areas of the pad. This is common is any pad, designed or not.

Is there any warranty on leatherwork?

Yes there is a one year warranty for manufacture error. Normal wear and tear with riding is not included with this warranty.

Other

Do you offer sponsorship's?

At this time we no longer have open applications. We've decided to take a new route and contact potential endorses on our own behalf for sponsorship.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes we do! We do discounts based on quantity. Please contact us today for a quote.

Can you customize your tack items?

We can, but have very limited spots. Cara the owner and graphic designer books months in advance. With everything being handcrafted and being only at times a one person shop, design time is limited.

Why is your tack so expensive?

Our tack is hand crafted and created in the USA. Designing items can take hours of work time. Our designed hides are exceptional because they're not available to any other tack maker.

Do you re-sell custom designs?

Any design created by us is protected under our copyright. This means the design belongs to us, not the buyer. While we can resell the the design, we like to wait 6 months to a year. (this is for our 'boss mare packages').
