Welcome! Thank you for visiting my website. Here I am pleased to share with you the amazing artistry and craftsmanship that is possible in high-quality, handcrafted Braided and Hitched horsehair items.
In addition to offering a variety of stock items available for purchase, I particularly enjoy working with individuals creating Custom pieces - items made from the hair of your own horse/s. Some of my most beautiful, creative pieces have come from customer's suggestions and ideas, and are a wonderful way to create a keepsake of your horse/s. Please visit the Custom Gallery page to view some of these beautiful items. Additional photos of my work can also be found on my Facebook page at Custom Horsehair & Wool Creations.
Shipping Information: Please note that several of the items listed on my website do not have shipping costs attached. Shipping costs for these items will be determined on size, weight and destination and a quote is available upon request. Items valued at over $100.00 will have insurance added to the shipping cost. Combined shipping costs are available for multiple items.

January 2019 - I am beyond amazed and humbled to have been selected as the "2018 Horsehair Hitcher of the Year" by the Academy of Western Artists (AWA) and to receive a statue of the "Will Rogers Award"!! What a wonderful honor!
