Tour Quillins' - Kentucky's #1 Halter Shop
Why You Have to Stop by Quillin Leather & Tack in Central KY
If you’re anywhere near central Kentucky — especially horse country — skipping a visit to Quillin Leather & Tack would be like visiting Central Kentucky and skipping the distillery tour. Quillin isn’t just a store — it’s an experience steeped in craftsmanship, heritage, and the deep Kentucky tradition of leatherwork.
Here’s why you need to make the stop:
The Heart of Horse Country
Located in historic Paris, KY, Quillin is woven into the fabric of Kentucky’s Thoroughbred culture. If you love horses or want to understand the soul of this region, Quillin is a direct link to it. They’re the go-to maker for halters used on Kentucky Derby winners, breeding farms, and horse owners across the world.
Watch Real Leathercraft in Action
This isn’t just retail — it’s real craftsmanship. At the new store, you can see artisans at work, stitching and finishing halters, belts, and custom leather goods right in front of you. It’s rare to see authentic, American-made leatherwork done the old-fashioned way — and even rarer to take a piece of it home.
The New Store is a Beauty
Their newly renovated space isn’t just bigger — it’s a curated experience. Think elevated country charm: clean lines, the warm scent of leather, and displays that show off not just what they make, but how and why they make it. It’s a shop that respects tradition but feels fresh and current.
One-of-a-Kind Finds
Looking for a meaningful souvenir from Kentucky? Quillin offers personalized leather gifts, custom belts, key tags, dog collars, and of course, their iconic halters. Whether you ride horses or not, there’s something here for you that will last a lifetime — and actually gets better with age.
A Kentucky Family Business Done Right
Quillin has been on Main Street since 1982, and they’ve stayed true to quality while growing into a national name. Visiting the store connects you with real people doing meaningful work — something rare in today’s fast-retail world.
