Shows how to make braided tack,
By
This review is from: How to Make Cowboy Horse Gear (Paperback)
HOW TO MAKE COWBOY HORSE GEAR is the sequel to Grant's LEATHER BRAIDING. As such, all projects listed in this book are braided from leather. Illustrations clarify the steps. Instruction is direct, but has a wonderful dose of cowboy humor mixed in. As an added plus, there is a brief section by Lee Rice entitled, "How to Make a Western Saddle."

I'm ordering my second copy!,
By Kate Fitzgerald (New Mexico and Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Make Cowboy Horse Gear (Paperback)
My family and I have worn out the first copy. It is excellent -- well-written, fairly well organized, and easy to follow. We recommend it to anyone interested in making their own gear.

Good resource for braided tack,
By
This review is from: How to Make Cowboy Horse Gear (Paperback)
I purchased this with the interest of making miniature western horse tack, specifically braided pieces, and it gives instructions on how to do all the basic braiding (6-12 string around a core), and several knots used in braided tack (ring, turk's head, pineapple, cowboy, gaucho, etc.). If you are new to braiding, you may want to refer to other sources as well for help (I also purchased Woolery's book), because there is a bit of a learning curve to this, but I did use this book's instructions to make my first pineapple knot. It also shows how to construct a hackamore, including tying of the mecate and hackamore and fiador knots.
There is a section on making saddles, but it's a rather brief overview and isn't of much use if you are actually planning on making a saddle (even a miniature one). Overall, it's a great reference book for your library on western braided tack, and I'd definitely recommend it.
