Old West Stories of the Wild West & Pioneer Men & Women
My Father told me one evening; when he was a Boy He could
Crack a Harmless Garter Snakes head off; by taking it
By the Tail, and crack it like a whip.
And so one Day I was crossing the Prairie and came on to
a Harmless Milk Snake about three feet long.
I had nothing to kill it with; and thought I would
Try Cracking his head off.
The snake was going into a hole, and I grabbed its tail,
Pulled him out of his hole, and swung him around like
an Ox Whip; and when I reversed and undertook
to crack hie Head off-
I only Succeeded in wrapping it around my neck.
I was very much Frightened; and so was the Snake.
I Quickly Jerked it off, and killed it with my feet.
That was the First and Last. time I ever tried to crack a snakes Head off by the Tail.
This was written by Harry Jasper Harris, a cowboy of the old west, in 1850. In those days, snakes were like weeds, all over the place and a big nuisance.

What are the benefits of using mohair in cinch weaving? Mohair, a natural animal fiber, is the long, silky hair of the Angora goat which has been carded, spun and corded. Not only does mohair wick sweat and moisture away from your horse, it is breathable, soft, resilient and durable. Mohair cinches are a good choice for horses who chafe or are allergic to synthetic or non-breathing materials commonly used in today's cinches. With proper care, Mohair's durability and breath ability make it an ideal material for comfortable, sturdy and long lasting cinches. Simply brush off the dried and caked mud and dirt. In addition, there is no need to brush off the horse hair as, over time, it will felt with the mohair cincha resulting in even more comfort for you horse. If necessary, we recommend hand washing and rising in cold water. Hang and let it air dry. If there is any shrinkage, your cinch will stretch back to its original length with use. When you receive your cinch, it will be about one inch shorter than ordered. This is to compensate for the natural stretch within the fiber. All cinches are 100% mohair unless otherwise noted. Due to market demands, we may occasionally need to use a 96% mohair, 4% wool blend. In such cases, you will be notified.These are made by hand one at a time so give 2-3 weeks for delivery and custom colors are available so just ask. Lengths are from end of buckle to end of buckle.
