Today I was able to get some tack-making done...FINALLY!!!
First and foremost:
My first foal halter! I have never heard of a slip halter before, but I was asked to make one to fit Gilen for a custom order. I really like how it turned out, especially for my first one.
Next up I finished this halter:
It looks so much better with shortened cheek pieces and the additional pink! Now I just have to make a matching leadrope and clean up the glue.
Last but not least is my big project! Remember this?
Well, it has turned into a giant experiment for me. First of all, ROLLED THROATLATCH! Thanks to a very good friend with some great directions, I think I have figured it out! I know it is too short for this halter, but since the whole thing has been a fluke from the beginning, I probably won't go back and fix it. This halter also allowed me to practice with some silver. It isn't done yet, but I am happy with what I have accomplished with it so far!
That is it for now. Hopefully I will have a few more things done by the end of the day.
Wow, looking good! That foal slip is too cute :) I'm still hoping that Jennifer posts the rolled throatlatch tutorial--I want to try it too :D
ReplyDeletethe purple/pink halter looks great!! would look good on Newsworthy...but probably too big for him...
ReplyDeleteGilens halter is soo cute too! i wish i had a Gilen to get one for!!!
Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThe halter would be too big for Newsworthy, but you're right...the colors would look great on him! Definitely colors for a little girl with a pony ;).
I bought Valentine and Heartbreaker for the mare, but I have come to really like the foal, too! The more I do with him, the more I like him. I think the halter is perfect for him!
