Location: NC | Radical Expressions Tack in Maryland made my set. It's over a year old and I ride in it every day. It's my main set. Still looks amazing and I love it.
I have a full set, noseband, over/under, hat band, head band, spur straps and stirrup hobbles made by her. And they're all beaded. I am addicted to say the least!

| It depends on the material, type of stitch and use.
Obviously if you let your horse rub the beads they will not hold up. Inlaid beads will be better protected than overlay and will last longer. Excessive sweat on the beaded area can cause dry wrought to the thread. I do peyote stitched headstalls. These are stitched all the way around the leather like a rawhide button would look. My husband and sister has been using their's for a year on their rope horses and have not yet broke a bead.
Here are a few headstalls I have done. I have also done over and unders with the peyote stitch and halters with a running stitch. I have not yet had an order for a breast collar but I would really love to do one.

I am on FaceBook as Rafter Y Beaded Tack. I have a few orders that I am backed up on now. I consider this an art and I really have to be in the mood to do them! Other wise I get bored and don't get my stitches pulled tight. |

I learned to do this from my neighbor lady when I was recovering from brain surgery. There is SO much time involved in each one. The flower headstall has 22 hours in beading. Generally depending on pattern and length of the "buttons" a headstall will take 11 to 17 hours. Now that I am back to work, having the horses and the family, I find that time is very hard to find! I am started on one now for a gal that ordered back in December. I had a little issue getting the quality headstall I wanted and had to send them back several times. Now it's just getting the time to actually sit down and do it. |

Location: where the wind blows and blows and blows | I make beaded tack. Most of what we do is inlaid to protect the beading. My teenage daughter has been using a set for 3 years and if you clean off the dirt it looks brand new. Tack hath no enemy like a teenager who doesn't pay for her own equipment. she hasn't babied it and I wanted to see how it truly stood up. I am really happy with the results I cant figure out how to load a picture but I am Broke Rodeo Mom Beaded Tack on facebook, Or if you saw the headstall that Coleman Proctor used at the NFR and The American. That was one of mine.

Location: Idaho | To the ladies that do the inlaid beading...do you sew the leather or do you take it somewhere to have it sewn? I've been beading with a loom and have sewn it onto a couple halters (I'll see if I can attach a pic) but I REALLY want a headstall or breastcollar..but I don't know how to do the other beading to make a headstall...maybe I'll have to attempt a piece for a noseband or a breastcollar.
ETA: can't get the picture to post..darn it!

There are SO many different stitches you can learn! I learned from my friends mom. She is native and does so many amazing things with beads. I wish I was half as talented as her!
You can look it up on youtube as well. Just search for "peyote stitch tutorial" and loom beading.

Location: California | I just got into beading and leather work, and I decided I wanted to do everything. I've had a lot of learning curves but it's fun. My friend helped me get into it and she sends her stuff to a leather person, but they don't do any of the fancy leather work with it. Just sewing into plain leather. I want the fancy stuff so with youtube and trial and error I am teaching myself.
This was my first dog collar I made for my dog. I cut the inlay part too wide for the beads not taking into account when the collar bends. That's how you learn! LOL. I don't have a sewing maching yet and still have to do all the stitching by hand. I'm pround of it for my first try though. Just have to keep practicing.
