Josh Ownbey Cowboy Line
Josh Ownbey: Master Craftsman & Texas Panhandle Horseman
Josh Ownbey is a renowned bit and spur maker based in Canyon, Texas, whose work is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Texas Panhandle. With a background in rodeoing, breaking colts, and day working on large ranches, Ownbey brings a unique "in-the-saddle" perspective to every piece he creates. The Josh Ownbey Cowboy Line was established to provide high-quality, hand-forged tools that are both readily available and functionally superior for professional and everyday horsemen alike.
Key Features of the Josh Ownbey Cowboy Line
- Hand-Forged Durability: Every piece is crafted using 4140 high-carbon steel, ensuring maximum strength and longevity for heavy ranch use.
- Signature One-Piece Design: Ownbey is one of the few modern makers who still employs the "old-school" method of one-piece hand-forged spurs and mouth ports, providing unmatched balance and feel.
- Performance-Driven Mouthpieces: His bits often feature copper bars or sweet iron to encourage salivation and a soft, responsive mouth.
- Professional Pedigree: His craftsmanship is trusted by the industry’s elite, including PRCA ropers and World Champion trainers like Kelby Phillips and Tarin Rice.
- Traditional Artistry: Many pieces feature intricate silver mounting and hand-engraved details, blending rugged Western utility with refined aesthetic appeal.
