Here today, gone today

My second design-a-horse arrive yesterday and was stunning....except for a few glaring imperfections. So needless to say he went the way of Scent of Pine...repair. I did manage to take lots of pictures of him before he went back. I can't wait to get him back already!!!

Baggage

Updated pictures:

I decided to add packs to the saddle set and what a pain in the butt they have become! I will probably be peeling super glue off my finger tips the rest of the week but the results have been worth it.

Pack Saddle update

UPDATE: Pictures of the freshly finished set and up for offers!!

The pack saddle should be finished tomorrow! I am debating to throw in bags to go with it or leave it up to the new owner. I will be accepting offers for this set until 01/07/13. I don't want to leave it up for a month because the black western pleasure set didn't get any offers. Included is the wooden saddle tree, all the rigging, a halter with lead, and a saddle pad. Here are some up to date pictures of the set.

Pack Saddle for sale

During break I am making a second sawbuck pack saddle set. So far I have most of the tree done and will start working on the rigging in the next few days.

Scent of Pine arrived a few days ago but she needs to go back for repairs for a smudge on her cheek and black over spray in places. She sure is pretty though!

Along with Scent of Pine came lots of snow!!

Merry Christmas

Since I am working tonight and will be away from the computer for a little while I thought I would say Merry Christmas to everybody!

(yes even the evil cat is in this post )

Pack Saddle Update

I worked on the set all day yesterday and for most of the day today. I'm sure I will continue until I finish it today : P Here are some progress pictures for enjoyment.

In other exciting news my very first Design-A-Horse arrived today. She is a red dun Breezy Ideal Stock Horse with a tobiano pattern, four high stockings, a star and large snip. Her face is so cute! She is a little bit lighter than I would have liked but she is lovely.

I will be sure to update more the pack set in a few hours...lol

Pack Saddle Set

Since the semester is over my tack books are open. I've started working on a pack saddle set. The first I've ever made! Last night I started with the halter and the tree.

Today I was up early to work on the tree with my fully charged dremel.

Straps were added and the rack was shaded....

After that I moved on to something I've never attempted, a double cinch. This was a pain in the butt for a while but eventually I got it to work. 

The rest is soon to follow with straps and rolls and everything else. I still need to figure out the bags but this set is very fun so far!
