Carved Tapaderoes
Cut from one piece of skirting leather
and molded to shape, with a fancy
Rawhide Appliqué Braid running down
the front. It is this Rawhide braiding that
forms the front of the tap’s giving them
the fit and balance that sets them apart
from all the other Tapaderoes you have
seen. They will hang in perfect balance
and give years of service, greatly improving
comfort and safety when riding in heavy
brush or wet cold weather.
The three photos at the left are all
taken of the same pair of taps
The first photo showing the full floral
carving done to match a saddle.
The second photo shows the back
side of the taps and shows

The third photo shows the Rawhide
Appliqué braiding that forms the front
