Leatherwork for the Yard

Bridle Making

A well-made bridle should fit the horse and work for the rider. Choose from practical options for everyday use, with attention to leather, fittings, and adjustment. We can discuss your horse’s needs and the way you ride before settling on the design. Each piece is made to serve its purpose at the yard.

Bridle Repairs

Worn or damaged bridle parts can make tack uncomfortable or unreliable. We assess the leather and fittings, then discuss suitable repairs before work begins. Depending on the condition, a strap may be replaced, stitching renewed, or hardware attended to. Regular checks help you spot wear early and keep your bridle ready for use.

Saddle Straps

Saddle straps take regular strain and need to be secure and fit for purpose. We can make replacement straps or assess existing leather for repair. Share how the tack is used and what needs attention, so the work suits your setup. Check straps routinely for cracking, loose stitching, and other signs of wear.

Leather Reins

Reins need to feel comfortable in hand and hold up to regular riding. We make and repair leather reins with the intended use in mind, and can discuss length, feel, and fittings before starting. If your reins show worn stitching or damaged leather, an assessment can help clarify whether repair or replacement is the practical choice.

Tack Repairs

From loose stitching to worn leather, tack repairs can help extend the useful life of equipment. Bring the item or share clear details so its condition can be assessed. We will explain the repair options and whether the leather is suitable for further use. Tack should be checked regularly, especially around straps and load-bearing areas.

Custom Leatherwork

If you need a leather item that is not readily available, discuss the purpose, dimensions, and how it will be used. We can consider suitable leather, construction, and fittings for the job. Custom work starts with a clear conversation about what the item needs to do, helping keep the finished piece useful rather than decorative.
