Mystic Acres Studios Western Show Tack
Mystic Acres tack is built with attention to detail, scale, and accuracy in mind. All leather edges are hand burnished for a smooth finish, all hardware is filed smooth, and all leather that touches your model are lined with non-bleeding  leathers to avoid unpleasant surprises. I use Rio Rondo bits & hardware, and hand-pick all leather. Several of the tooling patterns used are unique to Mystic Acres. Please e-mail me to see what sets are currently available.

These sets include a fully tooled saddle with string front girth and leather back girth, saddle pad with tooled wear leathers, and a fancy show bridle with cast bit, silver decorated cheekpieces and ear loops, and braided reins with leather poppers for proper drape.
