This is for all my ribbon and browband customers. Some information to help you make your browbands.
The following instructions and images are for a simple, easy to make browband using webbing and vinyl. My horse has been wearing the same browband for 3 years now, it has been re-covered a couple of times, but the browband is still sound.
What you will need
1" webbing (or narrower for a small pony)
vinyl (cheap flooring type will do)
needle and thread
ruler/tape measure
Stanley knife or similar

METHOD: (See illustrations at bottom)
Cut a length of webbing 13cm longer than actually needed to fit the horse it is intended for.
Fold over each end about 6cm to form the browband loops. Make length adjustments if needed and pin loops in place.
Stitch the loops into place, making sure the loops are big enough for you to thread your bridle strap through. Over stitch at least twice to make sure the loops won't come undone.
Cut a length of vinyl to the width of the webbing. Trim the ends so they fit over your stitches. Sew the vinyl into place, it doesn't need to be too neat as you will be covering the stitches with ribbon and bling. (see illustrations below).
Walla - you are finished - the browband is ready to be decorated however you like!!
