Breyerfest preparations

After talking to a friend of mine who collects a couple nights ago, it occurred to me I had done nothing to prepare for Breyerfest, and Breyerfest was less than two months away. So in my spare time I'm working on Breyerfest, which will consist of a western saddle, a racing saddle, and a couple of bridles. I'm also hoping to fix my English saddle, it got taken apart after the puppy got a hold of it. I'll fix it one day!

So far this is what I have for my western saddle, I'm using Susan Young's pattern, slightly edited to hopefully take a tree. We'll see how it works though!

I'll start on the racing saddle sooner or later, I have to make my own pattern so I'll procrastinate that for as long as I can.

I've also put the idea of making an Indian bosal aside for the time being, I tore my thumb up so I'll be unable to braid any thread for the next few days. Instead I started on a breast collar and bridle set, which will hopefully be for sale. I only have the Breast collar started so far, but we're getting there! The breast collar won't be finished by June 1st, as I'm out of some neccessary Rio Rondo Supplies.

Like the Indian bosal, this set will hopefully be for sale.

I also have a Anna Kirby stock halter coming in the mail! This halter will be showing at Breyerfest. I won it in Anna's blog giveaway, after drooling over her tack for a while!

Back to work on my spring swap and saddle, I've procrastinated long enough.
