Halters, Bareback Pads, and a Deer.

 I’ve been so busy with Breyerfest reveals, I haven’t had time to write about my recent creations! In the last month, I’ve made 4 halters and 3 bareback pads. I’ll start with the halters. 

This first one is a plain leather halter with stitch marks and a rolled throatlatch made to fit Dream⬇️





The next one is the same but with black leather and I attempted to make a raised browband.




I think it turned out pretty well. There is still lots of room for improvement but I’m happy with how it looks.





The next halter I made was the most difficult. 

The buckles have tongues and work

The hardest part by far was the chin strap, taking almost an hour to complete. I wanted to make it exactly like its real-life counterpart. 
It’s one long piece buckled together. (And yes, I had to make that one a working buckle too)

It’s kinda hard to explain, so hopefully these pictures can make up for it 😅



This was definitely the hardest halter I’ve ever made. But so worth it! It might be my favorite one I’ve ever made!



This last halter is, again, made to fit Dream. (I think your starting to get how much I like her…) 


I used these awesome printables by Nichelle Jones


I love it! 💕


Moving on to the bareback pads! 

This is the first one I made, the one I am keeping.

I LOVE the adjustable girth!!!





And I made two of these blue sets, which I have for sale on my Etsy store. If your interested, send me a message on Etsy mentioning my blog and I’ll give you a discount!




I really like this set, and I plan on making another for myself soon.

And of course I had to try it on some of my other horses. Dream can’t get all the attention lol




And the last subject of todays post, the newest member of my Breyer crew, and my first Breyer animal, Berry!

I won her in a giveaway for a blog I follow, horsiemama.blogspot. If you don’t already follow her blog, I suggest you do so!

I was so excited when I won! I’ve never won anything in my life! (Well, except for some small bets I’ve made with my dad 😆) 
For those of you wondering about size, this is her next to Misty and Stormy,
Snowman,

And one of my Breyer people.

She is so cute and I’m so happy to have her! Now I’m on the lookout for a mom and dad for her…

Stay tuned, I’m hoping to have a NaMoPaiMo post out this weekend!

Recent Customs

 I’ve been working on quite a few customs over the past couple months. I’ve done lots of new things, my first rabicano and my first traditional horse. The traditional is definitely my best custom to date!  I did a fleabitten grey because I am good at those😂 I am very happy with how he turned out! I had planned from the beginning to sell him when he was done, but I was definitely tempted to keep him! I tried a new technique to make them more realistic.  And the eyes… well, I think I finally get those down pat!!! I sold him as planned and he went to a home where he is going to be shown☺️. In fact, she put him in a show a few weekends ago and he placed fourth out of over a dozen horses!  (Her picture used with permission) Then I painted a mini whinny standardbred (who is for sale for $20 if anyone is interested) This beautiful girl I was actually painting for my sister, but I fell in love with her and kept her👀 (don’t worry, I’m making her another horse🤣) Then I trie...

Everything Under The Sun

 Sorry for not posting for so long! I’ve been so busy! I have 4 commissions to finish, 10 halters to make, 3 mini whinny boxes, two sets of boots, one show halter, a leather halter, a shipping halter, just to name a few! And that’s not even counting the orders from my Etsy store 😂  So… yeah, I have lots of model horse stuff to do!  Here are the models I’ve finished: This mini whinny family, the foal is so cute!!! And this dappled grey stablemate, who has since sold And I don’t think I’ve posted this guy yet, he’s a mini whinny I painted a few months ago. Still for sale as of now! So let me know if you want him!  And here is a few of my projects…. I also started making mini whinny boxes!!! They are super fun (but also time-consuming) to make!  Then I made this Arabian halter for fun… it needs work, but is much better than the first one I made! I also spent way too long making this bridle😂 it is very detailed and is for sale as well!  And, my favorite thing...

New Horses

 Hi guys!!! Sorry for not posting for so long!! I was traveling a LOT this summer 😅. One of the places I went was to Vermont to visit family and to go to the fair that is there every year. I have a friend who works at the Morgan Horse Farm up there(if you’ve been reading this blog long enough you’ll probably remember her taking me there to cuddle some foals ☺️)   She also works for a Clydesdale farm who were competing at the fair. I got to help out get them ready to show! It was awesome seeing everything that goes on behind the scenes! If you guys are interested, I can make a post about it. But anyway…. The main reason I’m posting; to show off my Breyerfest and post Breyerfest horses!  First, Athenian Lady, the celebration horse. (I don’t have official pictures of these guys yet,[that’s how you know in busy lol] so ignore the bad pics! Here she is with the rest of my celebration horses. I absolutely love her coloring 💕 Then the SR mare and foal They are probably my favo...
