I had this book as a kid and it is just as informative as I remebered it. Highly reccomend!

After reading "Leather Braiding" by B. Grant Leather Braiding this one pales by comparison. Illustrations and cryptic instructions are not very user friendly. If you are serious about horse tack then maybe it's for you. But if you want to make some pretty and useful everyday items go for Grant's book.

Woolery has included a wide variety of braiding techniques and their application with regard to making horse tack. Although all of the examples are western-type tack, the pieces of tack described are useful to any horseman. Learning how to make your own tack can be very handy out on a trail when something breaks, and Woolery's book has enough information to become an expert or a competant amateur.

Here is an instruction manual for the novice worker in rawhide. Unlike many other works on the subject, this book assumes no previous knowledge or experience. The reader is shown in drawings and photographs every step of the procedure, from starting with a fresh cowhide, through cutting strings and braiding them, to finished reatas, bosals, hobbles, or reins...
