Dallas\u2019s horsehair artwork was chosen, thru the \u2018Trappings of the West\u2019 art show to go on tour with the Smithsonian Museum. However, after the tragedy of 9\/11 in 2001, funding for the tour was canceled.\u00a0He has also shod horses and repaired tack and saddles for over 30 years.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #660000;\">We left Arizona in 95 to caretake a ranch and saddle shop. There, it was suggested that Dallas\u2019s hitching was absolutely beautiful, however, the leather work he added to his pieces left something to be desired. So- I learned the skills I needed to compliment Dallas\u2019s awesome hitching with my leather work (guess it was in my blood- my grandfather was a shoemaker and leather craftsman). We traveled the country on the art show circuit with our leather goods and Dallas\u2019s hitching for several years. We returned to Arizona and later settled in New River where we purchased property and built our shop.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #660000;\">Over 10 years ago, Al Viers who managed Wyngate Farrier Supply in Phoenix, asked if I would consider making farrier aprons, as he knew we did Tack &amp; Saddle repair. He explained that many of our local farriers weren\u2019t happy with the apron options on the market. After discussing what the guys liked about and wanted in an apron we went to work. Dallas is the design guy in our outfit. Just give him an idea and he\u2019ll design a working pattern, that I take and create with.\u00a0\u00a0 Not long after, friend and farrier, Barry Kostuch asked if we could make him an American Flag apron, which we now call our \u201cProud to be American\u201d flag apron.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #660000;\">In late 2005, I met Josh Morris, a young farrier who\u2019s dream was to open a farrier supply. I worked for Josh building Scottsdale Farrier Supply which became a great arena for our aprons for 8 years.\u00a0 Our latest flag aprons are the Arizona and Texas flag aprons.\u00a0\u00a0 Recently Josh came up with an entirely different idea for an apron and together we have designed the \u201cMorris\u201d apron. We are excited about it and confident that it will be received well by farriers. Come on in and take a look!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #660000;\">As with my leather work, I like to take traditional ideas and do untraditional things with them. I love to tweak a pattern and customize it for you. Have an idea?
