Our chain shanks are well constructed for functionality without compromising that handsome Kentucky handcrafted appearance. Our chain shanks are a step above the rest featuring genuine English solid brass chains or stainless steel chains that are triple stitched to the leather strap. Each shank is hand made from the same high quality bridle leather we use to manufacture our halters and hand rubbed for that elegant finish. Once we've assembled the shank, we then go back and cover the chain with a soft leather, the same leather we used in our Padded Leather goods. The leather covering provides a milder restraint and may be more aesthetically pleasing. Each shank measures 1" wide and approximately 7' in length. Available in dark brown or black leather with your choice of solid brass or stainless steel chain (stainless steel chain is not available in 12" length). Personalize your shank with a solid brass or silver finish nameplate (optional). Pictured in dark brown with dark beige leather cover and solid brass hardware.

Custom Engraving

Our custom engraving gives you the opportunity to create a unique, yet personalized name plate or identification plaque. Custom engraved plates not only make great additions to your custom leather goods such as Kentucky Horseman Belts, dog collars and halters, but they are also perfect for many different applications and projects around the house or barn. You may find these plates useful in labeling your tack room saddle racks, supply shelves, identifying unique plants in your garden or adorning doors,  a framed photo, certificate or piece of art. We have also created many plates for commemorative purposes. They make great gifts for horse enthusiasts' birthdays, graduations, weddings and anniversaries too. The uses of our plates are only bound by the limits of your creativity! With all the choices of plate size and style of engraving, our custom engraved plates are sure to meet your equine-related and even creative needs.

 The process starts with choosing the size and type of name plate you need. You may choose from a solid brass or, if you prefer a silver finish, a nickel-plated brass plate. Our high quality plates are not your bargain basement, paper thin metal plates, rather they are thick, sturdy and made to withstand even the toughest application. The first line of engraving is included in the price of the plates, with an additional line of text available for a small fee. Once you've chosen the type of plate and size you need, you can choose from three styles of character font (Standard, Victoria and Minion font). You may also decide to include a stock logo or have us engrave your custom logo for a truly unique piece. Please note the fees and guidelines associated with logo engraving upon selection. Once you have determined what your plate will look like, we'll do the rest!

While we tried to do our best to detail the leather goods each plate is used for, we realize that knowing the plate size you need for all your leather products or projects can often be overwhelming. If you are unsure of what size you may need, feel free to give us a call at 859-299-8225. We're here to make sure the end result will meet your expectations. We are more than happy to assist you in this process and look forward to working with you!
