Going Western

[cookie]

Decided Faye needed a partner for western stuff so I made Horizon (holly) a set too.

Saddle tree and horn is made from pipe cleaners
She does need a saddle pad making now tho.

There's so much one can do with Western tack. The black and purple look lovely on your gray.

This is a minor thing, and it might just be the picture, but it appears like the edge of the seat is "flipped up." The rawhide edging emphasizes it in this photo, and you can see how the edge of the seat angles downwards: animals.pawnation.com/DM-Resize/photos.demandstudios.com/getty/article/97/187/87803899.jpg?w=600&h=600&keep_ratio=1&webp=1

I can't imagine making such a nice saddle with only a base of pipe cleaners!

Thank you
It's made from leather headboard leather too and not tooling leather so more flimsy but thick.

I kinda copied this pic as best I could

Will do that bit shorter on sides if I make another one then
