Eventing tack and a pony saddle.

Whilst watching the BBC's coverage of Badminton Horse Trials yesterday afternoon, I did a spot of tack-making. (Everything's new except for the over-girth, browband and reins)



Not that he needed MORE tack; Harper probably has more stuff than any of my Julips but Jenny wants to try him out over fences this year so he kinda needed it.
That's my excuse anyway. :P

He's got a simple snaffle bridle with flash noseband and colour co-ordinated bit guards...



...a five point breastplate with running martingale attachment...



...and a brand new jumping saddle,(which now looks MASSIVELY too big for him :( ) complete with suede covered neoprene knee rolls and thigh blocks, stud girth and a 'sheepskin' saddlepad.





With all this new gear on, I don't think Jenny could resist taking him for a spin on the XC course. Although it doesn't look it here, - the grass hides most of his legs lol - he's actually going pretty fast. (hence Jenny's awkward leg position - she's pulling on him to try to slow him down. at least that's my excuse anyway...)







His jumping style is err...



...interesting but he's got some potential at least!



I tried to make Kestral a saddle the other day too but Rhu nicked it before she had a chance to claim it and well, his old one was terrible so he may as well have it seeing as it fits! I definitely need to make some better saddlepads though. >.<




Oh and before I forget...


DOCTOR WHO'S BACK!
