Have any of you found a good resource for buying draft horse items.
Finn needs a new halter and his is HUGE!! Nothing I am gonna find in a run of the mill horse store.
So was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to go or order online??

Smuckers Harness Shop. A Google search will bring them up. All items are Amish made an extremely reasonable in price.
I believe you can also order a catalog if you want one, but their online one is pretty complete.

Ash, I know you want more than just one halter, but a man known in our town as the Mule Man gave me the very first rope halter he ever tied. It is gorgeous (if you find rope halters pretty). It is so large that I put it on Phileas (the BLM horse from Nevada where they breed in drafts), and it fell right off him. It is HUGE. I cannot use it, but feel attached to it since sweet Ed, the Mule Man, made it. I would love to pass it on to you and Finn. If you will PM or e-mail me your address or the address of the veterinary clinic where you work, I will put it in the mail ASAP. (It is gray with a teeny amount of yellow - masculine and yet not too testosterone-warped.) I actually have some other little presents I have to give you that I planned to give you if you brought Brunie. This would give me an excuse to send you a package!

I got a great draft halter/bridle on E-bay (Fronteques? spelling) sold it and it is great. Leather and padded nose band.

Do not buy saddles from anyone with a rating under 99% on E-bay.
I have purchased from a couple of the people and just stay with the higher ratings.

I bought a true Draft Aussie saddle with a 10" gullet and it fits a 2000lb Clydesdale, almost to big, so watch your gullet size.

At least you CAN order saddles. I have to have custom for Rayna and Tamarack due to their size. An extra wide draft saddle will not fit either one. www.drafttack.com/I have ordered a lot from these guys! |
