- We visit Coblentz Collar Shop in Millersburg, Ohio
The Coblentz family has been making horse collars since 1975 when Robert Coblentz made them by hand. Today, his son Marion and his staff of crafts people produce a wide variety of horse and pony collars.
Marion shows us all the critical parts that are assembled to make a perfect collar. Watch as his crafts people cut the leather to the perfect pattern/size for different size collars.
A press cuts pieces from a large library of patterns to fit any size draft horse. Pieces are held in place with staples and then stitched together. Holes are punched and the laces are stitched by hand. The edges are hand trimmed.
Next the rims are attached which is very tricky. After most of the sewing assembly, the collars are stuffed with straw. The straw is forced through the wet leather tubes to fill the collar. After that, the main cavity of the collar is filled with straw. The straw in these steps is cut to work best for each particular use. Long straw and fine straw are both use depending on the usage. Wheat straw is used exclusively. Collar stuffing machines are very rare and it is fascinating to see them, and the craftsman using them.
After the collars are stuffed, they are placed in a mold/press of sorts to create the hame. The ends of the collars are cleaned of excess straw, trimmed, stitched and finished together with handwork and final sizing. The leather has been treated with oils before beginning the entire process.
A word from Marion explains why this expert shop makes world famous collars for draft horse!
It is important to note that synthetic collar material will not mold as well to the horse's neck shape. Leather is more flexible and moldable therefore, more comfortable.
Coblentz makes adjustable collars. They explain that these collars should be used for a horse that may gain/lose weight due to winter/summer weight. They should not be used for various sized horses. The ENTIRE load is coming through this collar and it should fit correctly at all times.
The skill and precision of these crafts people is impressive. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини

Great to see a young man so skilled in a dying trade!
Carry on the good work.
This is not a large trade, but it is FAR from dying.
This is very informative and i am glad they are so great at their job. Such stunning workmanship and the pride in their work Good things to know. Thank you all.
Fantastic blog, sure gave me a far greater insight inot working horses and the gear required, blown away at the inventiveness of the era
❤ one of the best
Use these collars. Great craftmanship!!
I didn’t know that anyone was still making these. I remember plowing with my dad and grandpa when I was a young man. This is truly awesome.
Excellent craftsmanship.
The sewing lady is worth her weight in gold. As a leather worker myself I salute her craftsman's ship. The owner would just have a shed with machines in it without her. Go girl go!
I know it’s psychosomatic, but I could actually smell the new leather as I was watching this! Excellent video. 👍
Amazing craftsmanship, thank you for sharing !!

Great job and craftmanship. I'm pleassed to see young guys working here too

I need to know how to measure for the collar, AND then the harness, my girls are an odd size!
Very nice.
Really cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thank You
I always wanted to know how it was made thank you for sharing.
Interesting, informative and fascinating all rolled into one. In the 70s we used Neatsfoot oil on our leather products; I guess 'horsey' people still use it.
Impressive. Very good detail and camera shots. I drive carriage ponies. I use breast collars. I have a 11.2 Gypsy Cob I’m training to drive. I thought about putting her in a collar and hames. Can you tell me anything to help me decide what would work best. She will not be entered into any pulling competitions. Pleasure shows. Breed shows. Maybe a CDE. And basic recreational driving.
Interesting!!! It would be nice if you could capture everything,,, it all looks so partial!!!

Muy buena el video informacion de mucha utilidad .por favor si podria mosyrar una medida de los cortes del cuero
Machined parts,gears,bearings? Cam shaft tooling,
What's the sewing machine they're using - what make and model? It's a fascinating one -looks like a needle feed.
It looks like this may be where two of my collars were made. What I don't understand on the two I have is the top is so wide. Wide from front to back of the horse's neck. So it does not want to stay 'set back' on the neck. It wants to ride up the neck rather easily. I wonder if it is a mule collar. I have googled extensively and cannot see an actual picture of a mule collar to see if they are indeed wide or deep at the top of the neck.
