Another rider and some tack

[katie]

Last week I made another rider for my Julip ponies.

Here is Tom

He is a bit of a daredevil and decided that he would try some bareback jumping.

Which is not a good idea, as his choice of pony, Octarine, is notorious for spectacular refusals!

I also finished a saddle and "side pull" bitless bridle for my pit pony Squirrel, and fixed Tilly's eyes as they gave her a look of being perpetually terrified.

She looks a lot less scared now!

I explained how I make my riders in another post (called "A New Rider" ), however I don't think it was very descriptive as I didn't have photos for a lot of it and skipped showing how I paint on the face and add details and how I make the clothes!   
I am currently making another rider and taking photos for a "proper" tutorial to go on my model horse yard website when it is finished.
