Amish Leather Tack and other training devices.
Custom made to fit your mule or horse.
The Amish know the meaning of utilizing the equine creation as our forefathers
did. Their equines are utilized for every sort of power and mobilization imaginable.
For this reason the tack they make is attractive, functional, tough and takes daily work and abuse. All items are hand stitched and the power for their sewing machines comes from
good old-fashion leg power.
I have several friends that are Amish. I help them overcome the limits of their beliefs about photos and the use of electrical power (let alone a computer) by making available these fine works. If you would like a unique piece of tack or gift for a friend, family member or yourself that will never quit being talked about or taken for granted, make a selection from these items.
All
shipping is $8.85 unless the package is very large or very small.
For all leather items, specify color black, tucker brown or natural harness leather.

It doesn't mater how desensitized your mule's or horse's ears are, they don't want them doubled up into a head stall designed for a horse. Bridling made easy is now available.
Bridles are made from heavy harness leather Hand Stitched by foot powered Amish sewing machines.

I cannot convey even with this photo the quality & weight of the leather.
The stitching is lovely. Even the throat latch is heavy harness leather and has a weighty brass buckle.

Caveson
Many mules have the agility and bad habit to roll their tongue over the bit. As soon as that tongue gets over the bit you loose direct control through the bit. Even if that doesn't happen, the mule becomes uncomfortable and that directly effects your mules performance.
Another critical situation is when a mule gets mad and opens his mouth, spits the bit out (not literally) and becomes a runaway.
Both the above situations are virtually stopped with the application of our caveson. Made from Bio Thane.

Split and Stitched Reins
These are my favorite rein.
Split Stitched Reins
5, 6 or 7 feet long. (please designate).
3/4" Split & Hand Stitched
The balance of these reins in the hand are wonderful. I ride all day and these reins just lay in my hand needing no grip to keep them in place. I rode with a set of flat reins the other day and they felt like clubs.

piece of tack has an easy job most of the time, but I still wouldn't want that kind of work! This is the cheapest

Britching or a crupper are required to outfit a mule correctly. Even when a saddle fits correctly one of these two pieces of tack keep it on the mules back and off his neck when momentum is moving it forward. Item # A560
Chain Weights
If your missing some swing in the back end. Or the front feet are not lifting up and out, this system could help your gaited mule find his gait.
The rule of thumb is "if he is smoother going down a moderate incline, weight him in the front. If he is smoother traveling up a incline, weight him in the back. Item A455 natural harness leather color only. Item # A570
