Engraved Name Plates - Only The Best From Quillins
Personalized Nameplates for Halters: A Signature of Elegance & Tradition
The Timeless Value of a Personalized NameplatesHand Engraved and Made in the Kentucky Tradition - Can Now Be Yours!
There’s an undeniable satisfaction in the details — the subtle gleam of hand-polished brass, the weight of a halter crafted just right, the deep engraving of a nameplate that tells the world exactly who that horse is.
A personalized halter nameplate isn’t just about identification; it’s about heritage, care, and a quiet kind of luxury. Whether your horses are grazing the rolling pastures of the Bluegrass or standing poised in the show ring, your Quillin nameplate sets them apart.
More Than Just a Label: A Legacy
A Classic Brass Nameplate carries a legacy. At a breeding farm, a nameplate connects the mares and yearlings to celebrated bloodline. In a training barn, it signals pride in ownership and the investment in the best care. And at home, it’s a quiet nod to tradition, the kind that has been honored in Kentucky for generations.

A well-crafted nameplate from Quillin Leather & Tack speaks to that tradition. These aren’t mass-produced "trophy style plates"; they are hand-engraved, deeply cut, and polished the way fine brass should be—without lacquer, so they develop a warm, deeply polished patina that only true brass can. If you’ve ever handled an old silver bit or a finely aged saddle, you understand the beauty of something made to last.

Care & Maintenance for a Lasting Legacy
Much like fine tack, a brass nameplate ages gracefully. Over time, it develops a warm patina, a character all its own. To keep it gleaming, a simple polish with Brasso is all it takes to restore its shine. The engraved lettering is deep and enduring, but if years of wear soften the black enamel, a touch of black model paint and a Q-tip will bring it right back.
