TRICK STRAPS & TACK

SHERER CUSTOM SADDLES INC

This is a summary of commonly used trick straps and names that have been applied to them. To avoid confusion whenordering, please look at the pictures and read the Descriptions. If you need a longer or shorter strap, they can be custom sized to your specific needs. If you are doing a new unique trick that requires a historic or new strap, contact me with the specifics for a quote. Construction comments are how the straps are built in my studio. This is not universal among all makers.
