My love for horses… in miniature!

MH$P – Model Horse Sales Pages
For new/used models of all makes and scales, tack, props, etc. There’s a small fee to post ads with photos, and always do your research before getting involved in a transaction 🙂

MHHR – Model Horse Hobby References
I always check this group before purchasing from a seller on MH$P – another good place to check is under the “Transactions” forum on Model Horse Blab

 

– Tack Making –

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!

Tack Tips by Braymere Custom Saddlery
I have learned so much from what Jennifer (and others!) have shared on her blog. Definitely check them out!

Kerioke – Model Horse Tack School
She has sold her pattern books online for many years, but is now branching out with video tutorials. There is a small fee for the patterns, but the videos are free.

Arabian Tack Reference
Old blog post – a reference for costume supplies

Rio Rondo
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.
