Where do you get tack from

[Dantelsh]

I have now got my first Julip and as I am not good at making tack as I have RA which affects my fingers I was just wondering if there  were any where to buy Tack.  thank you in advance

What sort of tack are you wanting, very fine super-detailed stuff or is something a bit more simple ok? You can order leather tack from Julip that will fit your models but it's fairly simple in style so won't be suitable if you're looking for something incredibly realistic Jan on here is a good person to get in touch with, she makes brilliant tack and has a Facebook account for 'Bluecroft Saddlery' if you're on there - I'm not sure if she's got an actual website as well but if not then I'm sure she'll reply here when she sees your post!

I second that there's lots of people out there who make tack of varying levels, I myself am starting up my own tack making business so depending on what you are looking for we may be able to work something out

As Elli said, a lot depends on what type of tack you're looking for - and how much you want to spend.

Do have a look at the Julip range of tack - it's quite simple in design but is all hand made in leather and well priced for the work that goes into making it. There are 3 sizes of saddle available which cover all the horse and pony moulds. Bridles and headcollars are individually made for each mould and are designed to be (relatively) easy to put on. There are beautifully made rugs too, in a traditional Julip style in lots of bright colours. Have a look here: www.juliporiginals.co.uk/new-page-2/

If you want to order anything, just pm Laura (juliporiginals) with your requirements.

If you're looking for something more detailed there are quite a few tackmakers on the British Model Horse Collectors group on Facebook. Some offer quite detailed tack for very competitive prices, though they may not be familiar with the Julip horse and pony moulds, most offer classic scale tack.

My facebook page (Bluecroft Saddlery) has lots of photos of Julips wearing tack I've made over the last few years. Prices depend on the level of detail required but it does generally work out quite expensive. I don't have a website (yet) but I'll get round to it one day...

Feel free to pm me with any questions. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much every one. Jan will take a look at your link for tack over weekend. As I do not show my models at the moment I am not bothered about it being simple. Been told of a lovely lady on face book that does tack so got a few options open to me. thanks again folks and will certainly pm you Jan if i have any questions
