Hitching Artist  

Alex Pappas

Alex is a very talented horsehair artist. He not only does beautiful hitched work but also braiding and rope making. If that's not enough he also does his own leather and silver work. Alex's designs have been inspired by traditional American Indian patterns. He prides himself in making cowboy tack for cowboys. His work is beautiful enough to hang on the wall yet durable enough to use everyday.

His creations include headstalls, bosals, reins, mecates, quirts, stampede strings, shufly tassels, riding crops, scarf slides, and hackamores. 

A custom order complete bridle/rein set as shown on the left will range between 
$2500 to $3000

This fancy hitched quirt has an overall length of 44". It's hitched over a braided rawhide core.

Special order quirts range in price from $400 to $600
