And here we go again! Another
Mother Hubbard set, but this time the pattern has been reduced 2% and
there will be more leather which means more places for tooling! <G>
I have redrawn the back tooling from
the other pattern so that it mimics the front pattern.
This saddle is made from a Jennifer
Harris tree and the REAL WOOD (not balsa wood either!)Stirrups were made
by Robin Poehlein. (BLESS YOU ROBIN!.
THe saddle itself is finished.
Next up are the bridle, the bosilla, the mecate and the string
girth.
Finally, In November 2007 I finished
the reins! The small knots on the reins,
inbetween the larger knots are spanish ring knots, although without my
magnifying glass, I can't tell! All of the knots have been coated so
that they don't unravel.
I am planning a braided headstall to
go with the Reins and of course, a woven cinch.
April 22 2008
The Bosalita and hanger
are now finished. I'm working on putting finishing touches on the
mecate.
Onto the Bridle Next!
I have FINALLY gotten
the bit shanks done for the bridle for the mother hubbard II set! wahhooo!
They are not exactly alike but they are very close. This means that
as soon as I get some time I can start on the bridle.
Right now I'm working on
the mecate for the bosalita.
I'm getting closer to
done and it feels great! I might be done by July '08...
Next up is going to be
some tack for me I think. I've always wanted a parade set!
