Crafting leather works that stand the test of time.

I’m Donn Frederick. Owner, designer, and maker of the products available at Donn’s Leather.

I am a lifetime lover and owner of horses. I have competed in showing halter horses and have worked in the business of running many horse shows.

All my products are designed with horse comfort as my main priority. Some of my designs may be new to you but all tested and horse approved.

Most of the leather I use comes from Hermann Oak located in St. Louis, Missouri. I also use hardware made by American makers. My products using these sources will be highlighted in the description.

Items may be purchased from this site. Custom bridles can be made to your specifications. My aim is to have a great fit for your horse.

My mission is to provide quality leather products for the horse and their human partner.

I started working with leather at a young age. Throughout my life, I have continued designing and making leather products. I opened Donn’s Leather full-time in 1990. My shop is located at our ranch outside the small town of Chatfield in southern Minnesota.
