Model Equine Tack Association

Today I had my boyfriend help me cut some parts for my first homemade model horse jump. I'm following a tutorial by Traci Durrell-Khalife on Breyer's website. More on that later though!

A few weeks ago I joined a new forum called Model Equine Tack Association (META) that promises to be a great resource for all things tack and performance-related in the hobby. There is some helpful content on there already and lots of talented tackmakers. If you're interested in joining a forum specifically about tackmaking, check it out!

1978 Making a Saddle Booklet

I have been doing a lot of internet research lately on saddle construction. Today I came across a downloadable PDF of a booklet called Making a Saddle on Herefordshire & Ludlow College's website. While the style of saddle might be slightly outdated, the photos and explanations are clear enough to give some real insights into the construction of an english saddle. I thought others might be able to benefit from this as well, so here is the link:

Making a Saddle

Give it a read and let me know if this is as useful as I think it might be!
