Tami --
He had stopped making them for a period of time. During the time he was not making them, I had faxed him a letter to see if he made Arabian weanling halters, and if so, would they fit minis. He was not making those either at that time (two summers ago?).
Later, though, the winter before last, Victor called me to tell me he had time to make some mini halters if I still wanted some. I did! I told two of my friends (Kim / CKC and Erica), but we were scared to let the cat out of the bag until we got ours scared he'd be swamped with orders and basically change his mind.
So, I got some from him early last spring as did Kim and Erica (maybe 10 halters?), and then I ordered some more from him late last summer which he was able to do and quickly, but that was becuase he had some of the pieces already made.
That was right in the time period lots of people were selling used ones for top dollar. I think some people honestly thought he wasn't making them anymore as that was what most people thought, however, I do think one person (can't remember who -- but it was a mini person) ordered some new ones and sold them for twice the price. I think Victor, too, was onto it and I was real worried he might be suspicious of me but he wasn't.
Such a nice man but a very thick accent and I talk a mile a minute. I think he had a hard time understanding me, and vice versa. What I pretty much did was fax what I wanted to him, then we spoke to confirm so he could understand me better, etc.
