Description:
Industry leader in education and quality innovation of real Mohair and Alpaca saddle cinches. I began the business as a part-time educational venture to help revive a dying art which has been growing into a manufacturing endeavor given the lack of quality materials and supplies available on the market. Our provision of uniquely superior items for hobbyists and cottage industry manufacturers continues to grow. We have continued to establish new product specifications to meet the growing demands of the market which our dedicated customers, spread throughout North America and in 7 other countries, tell us they have been able to find nowhere else in the world. Ongoing research and development have provided breakthroughs for development of proprietary methods in natural fiber processing, identified to vastly improve the comfort levels for horses and mules for a more enjoyable experience for Equine and rider. Workshops and video training for improving techniques of skilled craftsmanship have also been growing aspects of our business which introduce and educate customers on various ways to employ the specialty cords and yarns manufactured in our facility.
