New stuff 10/04

Just completed last night, this bridle was made for the Breyer Nokota Horse, but as you can see it also fits the Missouri Fox Trotter:



Features the usual Rio Rondo cast and etched hardware, the strap tips are cut and shaped sterling silver bezel strips. I did a slit braid futurity knot on the browband, and used round lace for the reins and throatlatch for extra refinement. A very flashy bridle, it will be up for sale on eBay this Sunday!

And here's the saddle I've been working on, the bridle was put on hold:



This is an English all-purpose saddle, made for the Breyer "Flash" mold. A snaffle bridle with a fancy Swarovski crystal browband is also in the works, and if all goes well this set will be up on eBay Sunday as well. (edit 10/07 actually it will just be the saddle after all, turned out I didn't have enough buckles for the bridle. Oy vey.)
