I needed a simple project to work on today, so I put together a ribbon halter for my Rhian model. This led to a matching blanket.
Pink really isn’t my favorite color, and this pony looks good in practically every other color so why pink?
Because.
I don’t think she approves.
At least I have a Rhian-sized blanket pattern to add to my stash now.
This is a personal piece and will not be for sale. 🙂

Once upon a time I started a western show halter…
… then completely forgot about it. I found this buried in the chaos of my tack supplies. When did I start working on this?? Why did I abandon it?
Well, after sitting forgotten for who knows how many years, it’s finished now.
Now it can live happily ever after with Zippo. 😛
For fun, I thought I would dig out my first attempt at a western show halter (made in 2009) and compare it to this one.
Two things I remember struggling with were tongue buckles and skiving lace. Both have gotten a lot easier to do over the years, and that’s encouraging!

Soo… this week has been rough. 
But I’ve been making more halters every day after work, since I’m apparently in one of my halter-making-moods. (they’re easy and fun to make, what can I say?)
There are more reflective halters:
Break-away halters:
A padded halter and a couple striped ones too:
The blue striped one is the one that started all this. I got distracted looking up tack ideas for my new Andalusian mare and stumbled across a photo of one in a pretty, blue-striped halter.
I couldn’t re-create it exactly, but this is still pretty close.
The padded halter looks ok on the horse…
But I think I need to re-work some things on it still.
In addition to all the halters, samples of my new fabric patterns arrived in the mail. I wasted no time in turning them into saddle pads.
They’re so TACKY, hahaha! 😀
My Etsy shop will be stocked with most (not all) of these items soon, so keep an eye out if you’re interested. 🙂
