Hey everyone! We are still on track to publish this month. If everything goes to plan, DIY Mule Tape Tack will be available to purchase and ship (via Amazon and Etsy) on Black Friday!
I really want to make this book accessible to everyone so I had an idea- if you have a local library that you think would shelve it, send me their contact info (name and address) to my email- diamond tack co @ gmail (without the spaces) and I will reach out to send them a copy. From my understanding, libraries won’t necessarily shelve a donated book because of their space restrictions, so I need to make sure there is interest in it first.
So what’s in the book? In short, a lot. In long-
Halters: six strand, eight strand, no nose, lariat nose, livestock, and two types of lead ropes.
Reins: flat and knotted (I thought about adding split but they’re done in the same way as lead ropes so it felt redundant.)
Head stalls: two basic adjustable head stalls, one ear and brow band attachments, side pull, chin strap
Breast collar (and how to add fringe)
Wither strap
Bucket holder
Quirt
Tons of braids, knots, different techniques, and lots of general info too.
I’m very much a visual learner so everything is well documented with photos and as soon as the snow starts flying here (and I have a reason to stay inside) I’ll be starting back up with the supporting videos on this channel.
As always, if you guys have any questions just reach out. I don’t always see the notifications so don’t be discouraged if I don’t get back to you, keep trying!
