Halter & Tack
Repairs @ Kyhorse.com
C&W Western Horse, which runs
Kyhorse.com, is first and foremost a leather shop. We
manufacture literally hundreds of halters each and every
week. The rest of this stuff we sell is practically a hobby.
We also do a few repairs on the side. If
you have some halters or other "strap goods" that
you need repaired just send them to us and we will fix 'em
right up. We can fix most any type of leather halter and
many other tack items very economically.
After we repair your items we will dip
them in mineral oil unless you instruct us not to. This oil
dip quickly softens and re-conditions the leather and can
add years to its life. Oiling will darken many leathers to
one degree or another, so make sure that if you give us an
item that must remain its current color it is marked to let
us know not to oil it.
Leather Halters: All items should
be sent to us relatively clean. While a little dust and dirt
won't hurt us, we would rather you not send us the manure
from the pasture where you found the halter. Items sent
in such condition will either be returned un-repaired or at
the very least you will be charged for us to clean it.
On "new-looking" halters we will do our best to
match the color of the leather. Dark halters will be
repaired with dark leather. However, due to natural
variances in leather color from tannery to tannery we cannot
guarantee a perfect match. We will match the style of the
halter as best as we can unless otherwise instructed (i.e. a
rolled throat will be replaced with a rolled throat).
On "older-looking" halters we generally do the
repairs in harness leather unless you instruct us otherwise.
75% of our manufactured goods are made of harness leather so
that is what we have the most of. On these more worn halters
we generally ignore the original style of the halter and do
the repairs in the most economical fashion for you unless
instructed otherwise (i.e. a rolled throat will be replaced
with a flat throat).
Nylon Halters: We do not stock
nylon strap and our machines aren't the right type to sew it
anyhow. If you send us a nylon halter we will replace any
broken pieces with leather. Oh yeah...the manure rule
applies here too.
Bridles & Other Tack: We will
do our best to match the color and style of your headstall.
Frequently when repairing newer headstalls we must order the
necessary parts to give you the best match. Older
"work" headstalls will be fixed in the most
economical fashion. Strap goods such as leads, hobbles,
harness, etc. will generally follow the same guidelines.
However, please understand that we are a small shop and do
not have the resources to repair some "fine-tack"
items such as show harness (we don't even have a spot
setter) or shaped items such as many breast collars.
Saddles: We do not work on saddles -
don't ask.
If you have any questions feel free to
call us at 800-260-0443 and ask for the repair guy. The best
time to call is between 1PM and 5PM eastern time.
Send your halters and such to
C&W Western Horse
58 Peak Lane
Cynthiana, KY 41031
Be sure to include a sheet of paper with
your name, return address, phone number, and your Email
address. It also doesn't hurt to include an
"inventory" of the items you send us. That way if
you send us 6 halters you will be more likely to get 6 back
(we are human). Any special instructions for an item (see
above) should be attached directly to the item (an index
card and a roll of scotch tape works wonders). If we feel
that an item cannot be repaired "worth the money"
we will Email you before we fix it. After the repairs are
done we will invoice you via Email with a PayPal billing
link.
