Gifts

Western leather gifts made by hand in Indiana, for the person who already has a saddle and does not need another mug. Start with the small stuff: a hair-on-hide koozie, a leather fly swatter with a solid wood handle and copper rivets, a leather-wrapped flask, or a hair-on-hide Christmas ornament or stocking. For kids there is the engravable wooden pocket knife and the rest of Cowpokes Corner. For the dog, a buckstitch Heritage collar or a butter soft leash from the Dog collection. For the rider, a Hideout Suede or Heritage Buckstitch belt in their color, a full-grain Dopp kit, a saddle water bottle holder, or an Elite Series headstall if you want to go big.

Belts are the safest bet because size exchanges have no time limit. Nearly everything here is handmade in the USA and covered by a lifetime warranty against defects, so it is the kind of gift that gets used, not stored. If you are stuck, a gift card lets them pick their own leather. More ideas, with the reasoning behind each one, in gifts for horse lovers.
