Re: RE: BITLESS BRIDLES
Dear Trace.
Try this source:
sirknot90@hotmail.com
I am sorry. I scoured my records but have somehow misplaced his web site. He
does beautiful work in a cord ( not leather ) type side pull. But what
attracted me to him was that he offered a side pull which works on the poll
and allows you to create a head set without a bit.
It is well worth contacting him and he is very easy to deal with.
He is located in the States and even managed to carry out business with me ,
though I am in England.
