Historic Bridle/Halter Combo Brings Great Convenience

This Bridle/Halter is great for trail riding enthusiasts or people into mounted shooting such as in the Single Action Shooter's Society (SASS). Historically, this style of Bridle/Halter was used during the Civil War by both the Union and Confederate cavalry. The Bridle/Halter combo enables the rider to remove the bit without taking off the entire bridle during breakes. This piece features 9-10 oz bridle leather (Herman Oak) and all fittings are brass or stainless steel. For Civil War re-enactors the rosetta's on this piece can be done in either a Confederate or Union Insignia. For all others the rosetta's may be a heart-shape or plain-round.

Get Back Here You Horse!!!

Lets say your out on a trail ride and your taking a lunch break, you would use these Hobbles to keep 'em from wandering away. They are made of 9-10 oz leather with stainless steel roller-type buckles. Easy to put on and small enough to carry in your saddle bag. Convenience!

Saddle Making Training with Dusty Johnson

After dreaming of working on saddles for many years I finally got the opportunity to make a dream come true. In 2006, I participated in Dusty Johnson's (http://www.pvsaddleshop.com/ ) saddle making school in Loveland, Colorado. Spent time studying 1:1 with Dusty, it was a great experience that launched the Parshall Saddle Shop (more about the meaning of this later)! Here are some pictures of the first saddle I built with Dusty's meticulous guidance. The saddle can be used for roping or pleasure riding. It's very comfortable and will fit you well.

Since my instruction, I have set out on my own, making saddles and many other accessories for the avid horse person.

Some of the gear I make includes: saddles, bridles, halters, chaps, holsters (great for the cowboy re-enactment enthusiast), trail riding accessories, and other speciality items on request. All work is custom made by me.

About my style: all my saddles are handmade using the same techniques as Dusty Johnson.



This basic western saddle is only made with flat plate rigging and is not made with a Cheyenne Roll, fancy lacing or elaborate stamping or carving. The Skirts and rear jockeys are cut with rounded corners.

Not slowed by the recession

Well the Parshall Saddle Shop is still in business, the recession hasn't slowed the shop down at all. Still building saddles, repairing saddles and making holsters.
