What I made the other day

So, the other day I made some new tack. Halters to be correct. For my Schleich (and Bullyland) horses. I also finised some rugs that I had started earlier. Couple of stitches here and straps there and here you go. Enjoy (or not ;) )

I start with one of the hardest things I have done jet for my models. A realistic (as possible) headcollar for Schleich falabella gelding Brutus.

Some of the foals got to try out my new foal-halters. You can see that thees are made different than halters for adult horses. I like this way better as they sit better on those tiney heads. That has been proved several times on real life. We used to make that kind of foal halters in a stable I worked for a while.

Master and Emir are showing you some new cooler/sweat/fly rugs. Masters rug is entirely of net-like fabric what makes it good for hot days. It has fleece lining and adjustable buckle in front. Emir has a combo-rug. It has fleece on chest and back to keep thees muscles warmer while drying but it also has sides with extra airflow to cool down the horse quicker.

Tinto got to try out this new winter rug. It is waterproof and has fleece inner fabric. It also has a tail flap on it.

Yasmine tries out a thick stable rug that was made years ago but now adjusted. I also added this red, removable girth to this rug to keep it in place better. Her red headcollar is from endurance set that I have shown here before.

Heinrich (Bullyland black forest stallion) and Millenium (Schleich shire gelding) are showing off a rainrug with red inner fabric and red straps. This was made together with

my sister. She did the job on sewing machine. And I added straps and fleece to the withers. It turned out real odd as neither of us tought how thees fabriks work together. Not well I can say now. Brown headcollar on Heinrich has been fatured on this blog before (then shown by Millenium) but I wanted to make one special headcollar to Millenium. Something tough looking and suitable for a giant like him. Thats where he got hes NEW red headcollar.

Red endurance set

I quickly created this set of combo bridle and treeless saddle yesterday evening.

I had an accident with my glue, that caused some glue marks on the saddle. It was my 2th attempt to make treeless saddle. First one is also red and made yesterday. I totally failed with the first attempt but I like this one. Next time I hope to make few more improvements.

Yellow tack set.

This is amazing set. I found it from my mothers garage. I think I might have been only about 12 when I made it. And it is still in good condition.

This set includes a brown saddle, yellow fleece rug, saddle cloth, seat saver and four pandages.

This set fits most classics scale horses.

CM stablemate thoroughbred - Lionheart Jim KF - with racing tack

This is a custom painted stablemate scale model. Manufacturer is unknown but he is molded in 1997. I painted him in 2011. Hes tack was made several years ago and can be removed and used for other models from same scale. Over-girth is just braided and tied together as I did not have anything better for that.

Both tack and horse are painted with acrylic paint.

Dark brown leather halter with golden rings

This peace of tack was made some time in 2011 using some leftover peace of leather and copper rings that I made myself. This halter can be opened and adjusted from poll.

Leather headcollar

This peace is made of peaces of leather string I found while cleaning up my stuff at my mothers place. It suits most Schleich horses.
