Packing Horse

Making the pack set was much easier than being able to find info about tying things to it.
After searching and searching I found these links. Which were great and extremely helpful.

Anyways, here it is. On my wonderful performance pony. Plus, another set finished for Sat. Not too many more to finish now. :)
The fur was made from the faux fur that you can buy at craft stores. Using my xacto knife, I cut the shapes out. The exacto knife works better than scissors because scissors cut the fur on top. The exacto knife only cuts through the mat on the bottom.

Also, there’s a tack making contest for MEPSA. Link can be found Here.

Since I’m using my CC Shuffle for English, my standing foxhounds won’t work.
So I grabbed two new ones,

and began hacking.

Here they are at the moment. Both are running.

The English Saddle Set is done and ready for the show on Sat! Nothing like cutting it close.

Just noticed that a part of the girth needs to be resewn. But it’s still pretty much done!

Bridle Power

It has been a long while since I’ve made an English bridle. A really long time.
But my CC Shuffle Roxy needs one to match her saddle for March 1.
So I used a mix of pre-cut lace and my own lace to make it. I also made a fixed noseband. And it’s raised too.
Instead of using three pieces of lace, I just used two, to mimic a real bridle. Buckles were added and all that is left are reins!

The set at the moment.
