Sales Bridle

I finished a sales bridle! It is currently for sale at MH$P!


 I'm completely in love with the contrasting padding!

Boots!

It took lots of fiddling, but I finally have the boots done!


 These were hard: they needed to fit horses with leg sizes between Strapless (skinny legs) and Ruffian (thick legs). Magnetic boots are difficult to adjust, so I had to use elastic to get the stretch I needed.


 They fit really well on Strapless and are easy to put on and off.



 On Ruffian, they are a bit fiddly to put on due to the elastic, but they still work.


 I especially like how they look from the front!


Pending approval from its new owner, the harness-and-boot set is now done! Yay!

Moar Harness!

The black marathon harness is done! The set just needs a pair of tendon boots and some quarter bell boots, and then it will be off to its new owner!

Order Update

My leather lace arrived (yay!), so I've been working on this harness order!


I really love this lace; it is so easy to prep and it stands up to adjustments very well. Much easier to work with than that red cowhide I used for the previous harness! I will definitely be ordering from Amazing Lace again!

Waiting for Lace

Between being sick and waiting for an order of leather lace to arrive, it's been a little slow around here recently.


I did manage to put together a new Portuguese saddle. It's not quite done, but it's close.


I also sculpted a bunch of decorative buckles, conchos, and rosettes. I poured the mold yesterday; hopefully they'll turn out! I would love to use some of them on the bridle and breastcollar for the Portuguese set.



Bonus rat pictures: the ratties are getting so big that they can barely both fit into their coconut now! There's always a tail or a head poking out through the door. :}
