 Good but technical Oct 28, 2008
This is a great book, but be prepared to take a fair amount of time out to learn the tons of information in it. Told by experts, this book should be considered by those who have some experience in leather and braiding.
 Great book! Apr 14, 2008
If it can be made of braided leather and/or rawhide, this book will tell you how to pull it off. It won't make you amazing right off the bat- the only thing it won't do is implant years' worth of muscle memory into your fingers- but it'll certainly give you a push in the right direction.

for the more experienced leather worker to make some very fine horse gear.
includes a lot of examples.
Great book! Nov 29, 2007
I had this book as a kid and it is as informative as I remembered it. Reccomend especially for those who want to make their own braided tack - or to see how braided tack is made

Good resource for braided tack Aug 06, 2007
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.
