It seems I have been a slacker when it comes to keeping this blog updated, but here is what has been happening recently! 

My first attemp at a western saddle... Well, the tree I made ended up being way too small, but I know what to expect so next time I can do a better job. Sam, Lauren, & I were also discussing casting some trees. 

Lots and lots of tack making these past two weekends that I got to spend with Sam and Lauren.

I got to go to the Tandy Leather Company for the first time ever; Lauren, Sam, and I all purchased about the same things: dye, dobbers, and leather. Ha! 

Recently finished halter that is for sale on MH$P(http://www.modelhorsesalespages.com/vendors/view_details.asp) 

Sam and Lauren have also been working on a few things:

(Above: both Lauren's)

And here are a few things I have been working on:

Raised noseband and brow band(not pictured).

Half pad

Leather halters

And just a few etchies I've been messing around with

My mom finished these as well for me:) yay for pony packs! 

Currently I have a bridle and saddle in progress and am working on my show string. If you are interested in any tack, I have available time, so just let me know!

Horsey filled Saturday

My workspace started off clean... only because I haven't unpacked from this week yet!

.... but that didn't last long.

 First came switching back to my old hardware container.....

After that came reorganizing all of my models. 

And then a wish from an instagram follower for a racing saddle to fit Schleich models....

so of course I had to go find my Schleich models that I have had growing up.

And finally, I got to working on the racing set that has been in progress for 3 days now! 

Ta-da! Saddle, girth, & surcingle finished!

Over all a pretty great day:)
