Indian Pony-Pt. 1

Today inspiration hit. I decided to make a new, but simpler Native American Costume. I decided to make a Cree Indian Pad Saddle Costume. I got my reference pictures from a bunch of places, but probably the one that helped the most was these pictures from Braymere Custom Saddlery .First I had to decide on the horse. It is the Breyerfest surpise Tobiano Flash, but I didn’t want to make a mistake on him, so I brought out Starlight.

First I made a pattern and cut it out,

Then cut the leather and glued it.

Next came sewing in the details.

Painted in details,
Vala the Saddle! Tomorrow will be the doll!
