Let me know what you'll pay for one and I'll ask my friend if he'll make one for you(I've been meaning to learn how to make one myself  ), let me know the specs of what you want. |

I always used the nylon ones from BigBend saddlery. Had a good handmade rawhide one, and my horse stepped on it and pulled it in half.  The nylon always lasted a whole lot longer, and had a good feel to me. |

That just looks like a corral snake. However, don't worry, I think is actually a king snake. If it bites you, you won't die. At least I think that's the truth. |

My guy said to just buy one pre-made, there's a saddle maker in Ocala that makes them for $12/ft. Jonnie Ruff I believe.

thats what im wanting is a 6 or 7' with a long handle. I have an 8' right now, but its weighted a bit much and wears my arm out to quick. cward we have the same philosphy when it comes ropes and whips for sure! LOL! |
