A belt buckle is the piece people see before they see your boots, and this Crumrine is one worth noticing. The oval face is shiny silver with bronze edges, and a mare and foal are worked into the middle, so it tells people where your heart is without a word.
At 2 1/2 by 3 1/4 inches it fills a belt without swallowing it. Wear it to church, the sale barn, a rodeo or a horse show, or hand it to someone who has earned a buckle of their own. The shiny finish cleans up with a soft cloth and keeps its shine for the next outing.

Why choose a mare and foal buckle
A buckle is one piece of jewelry a working person can wear every day without a second thought. A horse motif shows what you spend your time on, and a mare and foal speaks to the bond between a horse and the person who cares for it. For ranch hands, breeders and anyone with a foal of their own, that meaning counts for a lot.
An oval buckle gives a belt a softer line than a rectangle, which suits a Western shirt with pearl snaps or a plain Western cut. The bronze edging adds a second tone of metal, so the buckle catches the light from more than one angle as you move around the barn.

How to use it
Thread the belt through the buckle, pull to the fit you want, and keep the buckle centered on your belt line. Let it sit flat against your waist so the mare and foal face forward. When you are done for the day, take it off and put it away dry so the silver and bronze keep their look.
Good to know
- Check the belt width before you buy so the buckle sits right on the belt you already own.
- Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after a dusty day at the barn so the shine stays even.
- Keep it out of wash water and off the saddle pad, since a damp buckle left sitting dulls faster than one put away dry.
- Pair it with a plain leather belt and a clean shirt, and it works from the sale barn to a Sunday supper.
