Tele-Totes!

Mary is a long time customer of Chimacum Tack. She drives a lovely black and white pony named Tommy. They participate in many different driving arenas including parades, CDE’s and trail driving.

Because she does so much with horses she realized there was a need for a safe way to carry our cell phones while we enjoy our equine partners. Simply tucking it into a back pocket or putting in the saddle bags really isn’t a good idea. When in the back pocket they have been known to fall out and get lost on the trail, and when saddle bags it’s far too easy to be separated from the horse AND the phone!

This is the back story, pulled from her website:

It all started one day that my husband and I were shopping in a nice Country Feed and Tack shop.  There were two ladies looking for a safe, secure way to carry their, larger cell phones on them while they rode their horses.  There was nothing in the store.  I overheard what they were saying, and showed them my little cell phone pouch that I had made out of a leather draw string leather bag.  I had added a neat little strap with a snap on each end that snapped around my jeans belt loops. It worked great for me since I didn’t wear belts and all other phone holders required a belt, or, if you clipped it to your pants, would pinch.  I had worn that bag for years!  The ladies were so excited about my little cell phone bag, they each asked if I could make them one… then two, then three……It exploded after that!

This led her to designing and making the Tele-tote! She has several styles to choose from, the Plain Jane, the English style and the Western style.
