West Texas native, RUSSELL YATES has spent his entire life in Rotan, Texas, and is part of the third generation involved in farming and ranching.
Cowboy gear is a natural part of his enviroment. In the early 1990's with some help from other craftsman including Max Stapleton and Tommy Sprayberry, Russell started making spurs and bits. At first, like many Texas makers early on, he emulated the styles of Adolph Bayers and Billy Klapper. As he became more accomplished, he developed his own style. He gives credit to J. Martin and Jean Bassinger for challenging him to "think outside the box." Although he still manages his family's interest in the farming and ranching operation, he has been making bits and spurs full-time since 2000.
As California and Great Basin type horsemanship has become intermingled with Texas style horsemanship, so has the gear. California and buckaroo style equipment excites Yates and he implements some of those techniques into his bits and spurs. While he still makes some traditional Texas-style pieces, by blending in the buckaroo styles, his work has become a very appealing, high-quality hybrid of the two styles. Russell likes the idea that for many years, bit and spur makers were just tool makers for the horseman, but today they are considered artists. Indeed his pieces are works of art. He uses intricately engraved overlay and inlay in his work, with lots of gun-style engraving.
In an effort to develop his creativity to its full potential, Russell no longer takes custom orders, but aspires to design and make high-end, collectable pieces that are sought-after by collectors and horseman alike. Russell was accepted as a new TCAA member in 2008

Internationally known silversmith, SCOTT HARDY, comes from Longview, Alberta Canada.
Scott is a fifth generation stockman who understands the dedication required to excel.
He has been a full-time sivlersmith and engraver since 1981. Though largely self-taught he acknowledges the work of modern masters Al Pecetti and Mark Drain, and looks back as well to such turn-of-the-century craftsman as the artisans at Tiffany Company.
They have inspired Hardy to give contemporary expression to classic Western forms.

Over 25 years ago, Wayne began to learn the art of rawhide braiding in order to make a couple of sets of gear for his wife and himself. That started the whole thing.
Wayne became passionate about his work concentrating on the California style of braiding.
Wayne has attended various shows throughout the U.S.A and Canada -including The Californios in Reno, Big Loop Rodeo in Jordan Valley, Oregon; Canadian Finals Ranch Rodeo in Edmonton, Alberta; Wickenburg, Arizona; Maple Creek - Saskatchewan; Nanton Ranch Rodeo in Alberta, the Cow Camp Trading Post Show & the Great Basin Show in Elko, Nevada (Wayne has won two of the three times he has entered).
The bosals Wayne makes are great working gear as they are effective for training and for the comfort of the horse. He makes certain that his reins are balanced and have a good drape from the hands to the bit chains.
Headstalls are comfortable for the horse - nothing on them will rub their faces. Wayne makes quirts, martingales, hobbles, reatas occasionally (when appropriate hides are available). He also makes a few chokers and bracelets mostly for women. Everything he makes is both useable and comfortable and of course very easy on the eye.
In 2009, Wayne received the prestigious award of Braider of the Year from the Academy of Western Artists in the U.S. He has been a full time braider since 2002 (one of a handful that works full time at this art.)
If you need any information on how anything is made or how it works feel free to call anytime. Wayne pretty much lives in his shop.
