Our Rafter T Blog

 Rafter T's mission is not only to provide the highest quality tack and accessories, it also is to convey a message of encouragement to everyone that touches it. “We all need daily reminders to live happily, fulfilled and grateful” explains Terri Lynn. “We should be proud of who God made us to be, and no one should ever be allowed to steal your shine”. This message will be promoted through all of the marketing material such as banners and hangtags that accompany the Rafter T line in stores across the country. Terri Lynn believes that by promoting this message along side of her uniquely designed tack and western accessories, it is a sure way to remind her customers to wake up each morning with a grateful heart, and to be proud of who and where they are today. Simply the image of an arrow should remind us that we are always launching forward. 

Terri Lynn was born into a family legacy with roots tracing its way back six generations in livestock and agriculture. The Howard family name was mounted on iron Texas gates in Falls, Waller and Robinson and Parker Counties.

Terri Lynn is no stranger to the western lifestyle or the western industry. For over 30 years; she has been a competitor, a ranch hand, a publisher, a country radio disc jockey, a tack designer, a mother of two young cowboys and a rancher’s wife.

 Today, Terri Lynn operates the Weatherford warehouse alone with the occasional help from her (now older) sons and her bonus children and grandchildren. Gavin is now attending Medical School in Texas and Bryce has graduated from the University of Oklahoma and is working in Addison, Texas. To date; Rafter T has over 1,000 retailers in the US and abroad. 

 Rafter T products are made of American leather and are crafted by hand. Whether it is hand beading or hand tooling - each piece is individually crafted by true arcticians. 

We trust you will appreciate the quality materials and craftsmanship built into each and every Rafter T product and that you will also enjoy walking along this journey with us. 

The initial collections were designed by Terri Lynn in 2017, and today Terri Lynn still designs each and every piece.  

Shipping from our store in Weatherford, Texas - we stand behind our products and we strive for  complete satisfaction with our quality and our customer service. 

We hope you feel how special your are to us!
