Time is weird. I was fitting an English saddle and decided to check to see when I’d made it. It had to have been like a year, right?

I love the new Breyer ponies—particularly the new Fjord. I have two western saddles to make for her and decided to make my own tree. I still have some traditional trees, but they’re too big. Plus I do like challenges. I looked at numerous photos of western trees on horses and went to work.

Here’s part 2 of my BCC entry.
I think the last time I’d started and completed a harness was when I showed in the Breyerfest C/Y show. I hadn’t made the harness from scratch. I’d frankensteined together the Breyer Country Gig cart harness and added upgrades here and there. I don’t know where that harness is now, but it wasn’t great. It was more fragile than the cart, which is saying something because if I look at the cart wrong, even now, it falls apart.
