- real, black leather inlay
- silver and black studs 
- hand painted crosses 
- custom, built from scratch crystal "berry" conchos

- hook studs on the cheek pieces for easy tack/class swaps - convertible and truly versatile; this set is suitable for nearly any event! 

The split reins are complete with tiny studded silver crosses on working water loop ends. 
The curb bit features a low profile leather chinstrap about 1/70" of an inch in width, complete with a fancy decorated working tongue buckle and sliding silver keepers. 
The gaming/roping reins feature a matching color scheme over a wire core to achieve that frozen moment of "action," as well as accommodate a neck of varying lengths, events of different types, and/or a rider in varying positions. The water loop ends of the cotton reins are faux, but the clips are functional. The bit features matching pink rubber bars for a finishing touch. 
The reins and bits can be interchanged in any sort of combination for the ultimately competitive entry. 

The Sports Medicine and overreach boots feature cross motif hand painted designs in a matching color scheme, complete with tiny logos in accordance with their life size counterparts.
