Rawhide and Leather Braiding

Alex Devilbiss has been interested in horse tack for the last 40 years!  He is one of the industries leaders in rawhide braiding and leather work.  Making braided rawhide and leather products for some of the leading US Horse trainers and some of the Hollywood elite, Alex's rawhide work is collected by many.

Shoo-Fly - These are  premium products.  Most shoo fly manufactures double the horse hair over the ring.  After numerous uses, the hair breaks from the wear on the ring.  Alex manufactures his Shoo-Fly's by attaching the horse hair to premium latigo leather.  This keeps the hair from breaking, so it will last for many miles of hard riding.   #KG_SF $35.99

Latigo Curb Strap with Rawhide Button and Horse Hair Tassel - These are unique curb straps made to add style and class to your horse.  #KG_LCS  $39.99

Bosals -  All Bosals have a twisted nylon core.  Alex's prefers twisted nylon over rawhide due to it's superior ability to conform to the horse's nose and it's resistant to stretching and warping due to sweat and moisture.

Reining Bosal - 9/16" bosal, 12 plait sides, 24 plait nose all made from kangaroo leather - This bosal is designed for a softer feel, yet has enough body for control over the horse.  The kangaroo leather is soft and subtle and does not rub or sore the horse.  It's incredible durability will last for many miles.   Made in the USA by World Renown Braider, Alex Devilbiss.  *Top bosal in picture.  #KG_Rbosal $225.00
