The Tack Bug

Since finally finding all my tack tools and supplies, the itch to make tack has been persistent. It's one of those things you don't realize you miss until you're back at it.

I've been working on a headstall, using an idea I've been wanting to do for the last six months but lacked the supplies to do. It's a two eared headstall with a ton of Turks head knots. It should look pretty cool when it's finished. There will be 14 Turks head knots on the crownpiece alone.

This isn't a great photo of it, but it's coming along. That tangle of string on the left side is what the knot looks like prior to tightening. Tying the knots take a long time, but tightening it takes twice as long. It's better to tighten slowly and retighten two or three times instead of once, it helps the knot sit evenly.

Progress is made slowly but surely!

    I've been in the model horse hobby actively for about four years. My main interests are customizing, tackmaking, and showing, although I do like to venture into the different aspects of the hobby also. Aside from model horses I ride real horses, and also dabble in leather crafting. Hope you enjoy my blog!
