Here’s the last installment of making your water bucket!
or this.
Whenever I send off my tack, tons of things run through my head at once. Most of it is good.
Today I sent off two sets. This is my 2nd time sending off my tack to someone(not counting the set that was handed off in person :) ) and it is the most far (Tennessee).
I’ll never get over the excitement of sending off something I’ve made. But I also get nervous. Really, I just hope the new owner likes it.
Here’s the next installment of making a water bucket!
Now that your container is dry, it’s time to make the water.
I use Clear Tar Gel, and you can get it at your local craft store(I bought mine at Michaels). It does smell and does look cloudy when you get it, but it dries clear.
Pour it into the container, but not a ton of it. I’d say less than a fourth of an inch and let dry. What I did wrong the first time was pour too much. It took a TON of time to dry (like 3 days+). So do it in thin layers until it’s the amount that you want.
I went riding at Lizzie’s barn yesterday.
She has a beautiful dappled grey 6 year old Quarter horse mare that she trained herself named Lexus. She even has long white eyelashes!
Lizzie got on first and rode.
Then it was my turn. I am far from being a great rider, and Lexus was awesome to ride.
We walked, and trotted.

There were other horses at the barn.

Including this adorable Haflinger pony!
Now, tomorrow I will get back to the mini counterparts aka Erika’s bridle and girth :)
Also, are there any how-tos that you may be interested in me doing?
