The Whispering Cowgirl is pleased to present Desmond Outfitter's custom gear line. This exclusive line of fine horse gear is used and produced by international coach and horsewoman, Leslie Desmond. She discovered first-hand that the difference between mass produced, low-to-medium grade goods and well constructed superior grade equipment isn't always obvious.  
Leslie has assisted her students in making good equipment selections for over 30 years. Leslie has assisted her students in making good equipment selections for over 30 years. 

"I began looking for good new and used tack for my first horse back the early 1960s. When it came to decisions about what tack to purchase, I admit that my learning curve looked more like a flagpole that an arc," she said. The Desmond Outfitter stamp on these custom pieces means that this beautiful gear will stand up to hard work, and give your outfit the smart, custom look most horsemen and women want. "My plan is to provide you with beautifully made, rugged gear that you can use and maintain for a lifetime, and then pass along to the next generation."
