WHICH PLATES GO WHERE

Most of our plates can be used for various applications. We use these codes to give you an idea of the best uses for each plate. This is the key for the next section, and it shows how the plates are generally used.

SP - These are mostly used for saddle plates, but they can also be used for boxes, saddle racks, etc.

BP - These are plates for bridles, martingales, dog collars, bracelets, and pretty much any strap goods requiring a plate that can bend.

HP - These are mostly halter plates, though they can be used for lead shanks, boxes, or strap goods where you want plates that resist bending.

LP - What we term Livery Plates. These include stall plates, tack box plates, tack room plates, aisle signs, etc. Plates for around the barn.

Tag - These are hanging tags, like dog tags, halter tags, blanket tags, etc.
