It's been a while, which means I have lots of things to show! =) I built a barn, well actually just one stall so far. It has a working sliding door, and plenty of space inside! For Hunter to rest, And... especially for Breezer to play with his toys, I also made some halters, this one will be for sale on my model horse sales pages account. A hempy type rope halter. A nylon stable halter. And my favorite, a simple leather stable halter. I also made a fly fringe, which was very fun! And a soft rope halter. Then I took some pictures for fun... I hope you liked everything!

Sorry for the lack of posts, I have been busy! First I got my very first traditional scale rider and promptly tacked up Un-Named Valentine to try her out! I didn't like her boots so I threw them away, and made her a new pair of Jodpur boots! Then I made Val a hunter snaffle bridle! I really like how the browband turned out! I also added braided reins. Then, I made this! I know it is not *perfect* but this is my very first attempt at a trad scale english saddle and I am very pleased with how it turned out! I still need to make the billet straps and the girth, and I need to order stirrups from Rio Rondo, I made safety stirrup real quick just so I could take some pictures of the rider on it. I think it fits her pretty darn well! I made a quick bridle rack to hold my trad scale bridles until I can make a real "Tack Rack." Since I had some free time I tacked up Ditto in "trail ride" tack, although he actually wore a curb I used a snaffle because it is softer. I tacked Gunner and set up some games and trail entries. I also decided to see if I had any other horse that could use Nutmeg's performance entry, I think maybe I should give her a break because she has already won multiple blue ribbons. I tried out Mr. Pringle and I liked it, but maybe his color should be green, he is a stallion! Pink! Since I was having fun I started playing with "Lily." Lily is a big help around the farm from helping to train foals, to putting tack away! Somewhere along the way this happened... I was startlingly neat! Enjoy your summer!
After my first "big" saddle I decided to refine it a little more... Starting with a new tree, I made this one out of wire, air-dry clay, and a pop can, I am pretty happy with how it turned out! I also switched out the blank studs like on the other saddle for "diamond" ones! I added some more detail to the fenders... Complicated the cinch strap a little more... I like it more though, it is fun to do. Then, I put it all together! I snatched Un-Named Valentines bridle - it does look good on him though... ;) Amazingly I even had time to finish painting a portrait horse! Ditto is a Quarter x Percheron cross to he was strong, stocky, and had a very wide girth! (Much bigger than the models!) Since I rode Ditto at Disney on a trail ride, I put his Mickey head hair cut on him! He even has silver horseshoes! Incredibly I was able to finish both projects in one sitting! Thanks to my furry little foot warmer! Hope you liked him! (and the saddle)
