Everyone Starts Somewhere

Kristian Beverly6 Comments
While I’m far from calling myself an expert in tack making, I do feel like I’m getting better. I found what I would consider to be the first ever saddle I made. It once was a Breyer saddle and I customized it.
I gave it new knee rolls and redid the tree.
 I gave the saddle shape by inserting a metal tree into it. 
The saddle served me well for my novice days, but I evolved so this saddle has been retired.

So yes, every artist has to start somewhere. You can only go up!

The Leather Dye Spill

My body Peter Stone pony decided to fall which resulted in the domino effect. My dark leather dye spilled. My panels for the English saddle were in the way of the leather dye as was the saddle the panels went to.

*Sighs*
It could have been worse though, so that’s a plus.
In better news, if you like tack making and model horse forums, there’s another forum for you. It’s called Model Equine Tack Association. It’s a great forum. 🙂
