About The War Horse
We are leather workers and artists from Germany. Interested in the middle age scene and horse owners by ourselves, we've always been dissapointed that it's nearly impossible to get really unique bridles and other equipment for horses, so we finally decided to create our own.
Today our primary work consists mainly of horse stuff, but we also create other fine leather goods completely according to the customers wishes.

If you acquire a The War Horse - leatherwork, you will get...
... an individual design exclusively created for you
... a custom-made leather good according to your wishes
... a piece of detailed, fully hand-made leather art
... in short: a The War Horse - unicum!

What we offer
Horse armour like chamfrons, crinets (neck armour) and more
Different bridles: bithanger, western, english, spanish, middle age, sidepull or an other bitless bridle (the german site will show you some pictures of these basic models)
Reins (splitted or closed)
Halters
Breast collars
Other horse equipment like single browbands, cordeos, slobber bars, ....
Leather wristbands
Leather covers/ bags for books, e-readers, tablets,... (no covers for smaller things like an e-reader, e.g. mobile phones)

We've also created other things, but we won't do everything. If you're interested in something that's not listed here, just contact us:
