The Guitron family has a long tradition of braiding quality rawhide and leather tack in the spirit of the vaqueros for nearly 50 Years. Through this time, their selection of products has grown to include a full array of meticulously handcrafted tack, such as romal reins, bosals, headstalls and cavesons. Steve Guitron continues the family tradition. Made from only the finest leather and rawhide, you can be assured of the superior craftsmanship that is evident in his vast product line. Their romal reins have become synonymous with winning riders and are constructed using methods handed down through the generations. Each rawhide strand cut for braiding, whether for a 12-plait or 16-plait braid, is beveled on both sides for a smooth, comfortable feel on the reins and romal. They can make any length rein and romal, change button designs and silver patterns or give extra weight at the end of the reins. Often times they can create romals from a photo or picture. Their bosals are crafted using a rawhide core that has been dried in the sun for easy shaping and giving a good action in the nose and cheeks. They are braided for a perfect fit for the Quarter Horse, Paint Horse and can be made in Arabian sizes. Steve Guitron Headstalls are built using the finest bridle leathers and are available in light or dark tones. He uses sterling silver overlay for the buckles and conchos. Now you can save $50 on Steve’s 12-plait hackamore set – now only $225. Call 800-252-7913 or visit www.CustomRawhide.com for his full line. See ad on page 16
