At MidWestWhips, our main focus is and has always been whips, but we are happy to help repair some pieces of braided tack, including but not limited to braided nylon or leather reins and riding whips and crops that need reconditioning, replacement thongs, or other repairs.  Just email us at whipmaker@midwestwhips.com to ask for an estimate, and be sure to include some digital photos of the problem area if you can.
