Guide to Making Model Horse Tack
Written by Susan Bensema Young – a must have for anyone interested in miniature tack making. It’s available now as a very affordable PDF – I highly recommend it!

I have learned so much from what Jennifer (and others!) have shared on her blog. Definitely check them out!

Leather, lace, hardware, tools – they have it all! (get on their e-mail list it’s worth it!)
The World of Model Horse Collecting
Hardware, stirrups, lacing, ribbon, saddle trees, etc
Springfield Leather
I’ve purchased spools of kangaroo lace from these guys and love it for tack making! They also sell tooling leather – the 2/3 oz calfskin is perfect for mini saddles, and a square foot (or two!) will last a long time.
Amazing Lace
I haven’t personally ordered from this company, but I know many hobbyists who have and love it. Kangaroo lace in all sizes and colors, shipped from Australia.
Hairbow Center
I get my halter/blanket/etc ribbon from them. It’s good quality, the prices are very fair AND they always ship fast.
