Klibbers
"klibber = wooden saddle on ponies' back to hold burden (ShetlandDictionary.com)"

Klibber

Handmade by craftsmen in Shetland, this traditional Shetland pony klibber is the ideal way to let your pony help you around the farm.

Handcarved in pine and then fitted with 1" wool felt padding and leather straps including a cotton web girth. (Please note that the one featured is our well-used and much loved klibber. This has a tenon joint but the ones sold will have a lap joint.)

The Shetland klibber can be used with either haynets or traditional kishies (woven baskets). This is a beautiful, authentic piece of Shetland craftsmanship made in the islands and specifically designed to fit wide workmanlike ponies!

As each klibber is hand-carved, please note that no one item is the same. The design may vary slightly.

Saddlery, Tack & Harness

Picture3

In the beautiful but remote Shetland Islands, Journeyman Leather manufacture some of the finest bridlework and tack, bags and belts available anywhere in the world. All they make is of the best materials Journeyman Leather can find - English bridle leather, solid brass buckles etc. - hand stitched for extra strength.

Here in Shetland they know about their ponies - or horses as they are known here. Journeyman Leather know there is no such thing as a “standard” Shetland, so they guarantee to fit anything from a miniature foal to a 42” stallion. If you have a pony they can’t fit from their range, Journeyman Leather will make it to measure (no extra charge). All they make is of the same materials and of the same quality as the very best from Walsall - except theirs fits!

They also make lovely handbags and belts too!
