Description
A comprehensive guide to braiding rawhide horse tack is presented in this revised and expanded second edition. With over 180 illustrations and photographs, novice rawhide workers are shown every step of the process from start to finish. The author explains how to use readily available tools and implements, which can be made by following included directions, to create a range of finished items such as reatas, bosals, hobbles, and reins. The book also covers simple techniques for producing basic patterns in braiding, with the option to modify or enlarge them to create endless variations. For those interested in buying rawhide materials, the guide provides valuable advice on what to look for when purchasing, how to care for the items, and an insight into their production history.
