    looking for pattern

    TRY ebay for webbing straps and buckles. I have made my own slinkies, blankets and leads by purchasing goods on ebay they usually have tons of different colored straps too.

    Buying a show halter.

    Ditto from me. I borrowed one of these halters from a friend and then ordered one for myself over the weekend. They are pretty nice in person and heck the lead line is worth the $27.00! Great deal.
