Larry Lorang

Larry grew up on his family’s farm in Great Falls, Montana, which he and his wife still own. He started building bits and spurs for himself and friends to use around the ranch. He then became a full time bit builder in 2020 when they decided to sell their cows. He was awarded a Traditional Cowboy Arts Association fellowship in 2023. As a maker of bridle bits and cool cowboy gear, building bits and spurs is his passion, and every day is something new and exciting.
