I've been trying to find someone to help me but so far no luck, I've tried Victors custom Tack and Schneider Saddlery but nothing. So here is the wish list straight from my Girlfriend.
•1" Leather English Dressage Reins.
Yes One inch, this seems to be a problem.
• Buckle Ends
• Black or Brown Leather
• Same color stitching
• No braiding, Grips or Markers
• No Martingale Stops
• Brass Hardware
Can anyone help me find someone who can make this to order. Please help. Her Birthday is October 8th and I've had no success at all. I need names and numbers or Websites or something. I live in the Milwaukee area so if anyone knows of someplace out here that would be Ideal. Thanks so much to anyone that can help.

Reicherts Custom Leather
Justin Reichert, he does ONLY custom work, is quite well known for his custom knife sheaths as well...google him, he has a good reputation. He closed his shop and works strictly from home shop now, so that he can spend more time with his son. Email me for his phone number or it is probably online if you google him...He is a perfectionist.
**************************OH, did I mention that he is my son?

Interesting. At first I didn't think this was that unusual a request but I've looked at Dover Saddlery, KL Select, Euro-American Saddlery and Dressage Extensions and nobody has just those specs. I see what you mean about the 1" being a problem, and I don't see brass hardware either.
The only thing I can suggest is to contact the following companies directly and ask if that is something they have or can make for you:
KL Select
http://www.klselect.com/
Smith-Worthington Saddlery (not much on their website, but they do some custom work I believe)
http://smithworthington.com/
Dover Saddlery encourages customers to contact them with special requests, so that might be a worth a try:

Any leather worker could do what you ask. Try a saddle shop if there are no Amish in your area. Anyone who repairs saddles could do what you are asking. Look up saddle or tack shops in the area. Better yet check the yellow pages for saddle repair or leather work. If not then try tack shops.
I wish you lived closer because I know of two in Springfield Missouri--The tack Shop and PFI. Either should be able to make what you want but may need to see an example.
I can not imagine them having trouble unless they are having trouble with getting the buckles.

We could have those made for you tomorrow. My business partner is a fantastic saddler, making to order, from the very finest English leather. Everything is HAND MADE. He'll make just about anything in the way of bridlework, to anyone's design, what you are asking for is no problem at all! Email: Paalta68@hotmail.com for further information if you are interested.

I dont think you have a ballards out there but maybe you could just give them your specifications so that they could send it to you. Might not be the best way to get what you want though they seem very good about thaat, but since you havent been having any luck elsewhere...A lot of their things are really pretty and they are all really durable and come with a lifetime guarantee. Mr ballard makes everything.

Did you try skylands saddlery? They can ship them out to you in WI no problem. Or euro-american saddlery. They also can ship things out. Euro might even have what you are looking for in stock so you can get them in a few days.

You could check with the person who does the tack repair at your local tack shop, those reins should be pretty easy to make.
