The gear illustrated and described in this book is made of rawhide. However, leather thongs and plastic string can be worked in the same manner. The illustrations are clear, and detailed drawings show from beginning to end how to make the articles of gear the horseman uses to “work or show” his horse to best advantage. Bridles, hackamores, hobbles, reins, reatas, quirts, and riding crops are just a few of the articles that can be made by following the illustrations and instructions.
Included in the volume is a section titled “How to Make a Western Saddle,” by Lee M. Rice. He explains each step in making a western saddle, with text and drawings.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Bruce Grant was born in Texas and came by his interest in leather braiding as a natural outgrowth of his association with cowboys on the ranches near his home. Leather braiding became his major hobby, and it continued to occupy his spare time until his death in 1977.
As a newspaperman Grant traveled over much of the world and never overlooked an opportunity to uncover examples of leather braiding. He collected all existing literature on leather braiding and searched through the classics for references to this ancient art.
