Thought you might get a kick out of this.I got some inspiration in Argentina.All of the links of the chain are made one at a time.Around 3000 in all and all ot he silver parts were made by melting and rolling out the silver and then making tubing for the ends

Are you really going to use this headstall? If you are, what does that horse look like? I would think the horse you made such amazing tack for would have wings or a horn.

It took me about a month of steady days to get all of it finished.While the chain is rather flexible it is fairly strong.I wouldn't be afraid to use this on a very broke horse but don't think it would be appropriate for a colt,not intended for unicorns or any other fantastical critters either.:eek::eek:
This was intended to be a test for a future project for this fall.

You know Dave, I question the structural integrity of that headstall. I think you might want to send that over and I can test it out this spring to just be certain. Oh don't forget to put in a matching set of romal reins.:)

Looks great, how much does that headstall weigh?

Dave,
Very creative. Looks great. You should put it on a horses head and take a photo.
