HOW IT WORKS
COLORS & MEASUREMENTS:
- The brow band materials are available in many colors, some of which I stock and some of which need to be custom ordered for your custom-made brow band (click here or click “COLORS & MEASUREMENTS” above).
- The brow bands length and loop size can be sized for your horse and bridle, whether in stock or custom ordered (click here or click “COLORS AND MEASUREMENTS” above).
- Since the Biothane brow bands have snaps (click here or click “”COLORS AND MEASUREMENTS” above, it is easy to exchange brow bands on the bridle – all the more reason to get multiple brow bands!
COSTS: The costs vary, depending upon your design choices. Click here or click “COSTS” above.
BROW BANDS: The brow band photos on this website (click here or click “BROW BANDS” above) show brow bands I have made. Some of the brow bands are ready-made and available for sale. Some of the brow bands may have been sold but I can make duplicates of most of them. A few of them were one-of-a-kind and have been sold. They can also be custom ordered with your show color(s) and/or your favorite color(s) and the best size for your horse.
LEATHER BROW BANDS: I have a limited number of ready-made leather brow bands and leather brow band blanks. Click here or click “LEATHER BROW BANDS” above for photos and the list of blanks available. I am phasing out leather brow bands so will not be ordering more blanks.
BELTS: I am now making Biothane belts (click here or click “BELTS” above). They can be plain, or have 10″ or 20″ of beads. You can have a brow band and belt that match each other!
ORDER FORMS: This web site has easy-to-use online forms (click here or click “ORDER FORMS” above) to order brow bands and belts.

BROW BAND AVAILABILITY:
Many of the brow bands on this website are ready-made and immediately available. Other brow bands on this website have been sold; however, I can usually make similar brow bands upon request. Some of the brow bands in the photos on this website are one-of-a-kind; if they sell, they are no longer available. If you have particular color, style and size choices, let me know what you want and I can usually make it for you (there may be a lag time as I may need to order materials). For special requests, contact me at LeslieRaulin@gmail.com and I will get in touch with you. For custom-ordered brow bands I usually email a photo of a mock-up for your approval.
