✨️Meet the Maker✨️
For those of you who don't know me, hi! I'm Dakota, the braider behind Lazy D Design Co.
I've called the sunny Okanagan home for the past 15 years, and have always, always had horses. I work full-time in hospitality, own a small business that is just in it's fledgling stage, and braid as a creative outlet.
I started braiding to keep my hands busy & my creativity flowing during the slow winter season. It combines my two great loves, horses & making with my hands. I make most of my tack to order, which means that it's fully customizable to suit each riders taste and personality. I have to say, those first talks of color combinations and vibe checks, that's my favorite part, next to seeing my pieces in action, of course.
This year was full of HUGE wins, not only did I enter the barrel pen on the horse that I raised, but I also had the opportunity to sponsor a real up and comer cowgirl. I can't express what it means to watch all of my fly into that arena with a fist full of mane & RacerReins. All of the proceeds from Lazy D tack go directly to my horses, whether it's entry fees, board or feed. All of your support, every order placed, every penny spent, it's all for them, and for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am so excited for what 2026 has in store for not only Lazy D Design, but my fellow horse lovers & my Lazy Cowgirls following their dreams both in and out of the arena.
Join the & get your orders in, it's braiding season baby!
