**NO REPINS** red white and blue bit guards
An Excerpt From A Film By J. Truman Ward
The saddle is arguably the most important tool for the rider to communicate clearly with the horse. Henri de Rivel quality English saddles come at affordable prices for all levels of equestrians. HDR saddles provides a correct seat to enhance the connection between horse and rider.
Your saddle is one of the most important items for you & your horse. It needs to be comfortable, fit well & of course looks do matter. I currently have a Charmayne James barrel saddle by Cactus Saddlery. It’s comfortable & looks great; pink ostrich seat, flower tooling & multi-colored jewels. It’s beautiful & it
Handcrafted, one of a kind handbags and belts using authentic horse tack perfectly describes them. I cannot get enough of their designs, and I adore that they are using actual tack pieces like bits and reins in their designs. These handbags are gorgeous!

Most competitors know that one of the most stressful aspects of preparing for a show is packing your tack trunk. I personally just cannot stand leaving the barn with that feeling like I forgot something! The easiest way to make sure you remember all the essentials is to make a checklist! So here is an...

Författarsamtal med mig på Linköpings bokhandel idag var toppen! Inte så många där, men att prata om fattighuset i Linköping, Himmelstadlunds herrgård utanför Norrköping, schweizeri, ”Tuppen”, fröken Olga och fröken Helga, herr och fru Alreik, och mord, är en glädje utan like. Den blå gardinen. Tack Hogga som står ut med mitt bubblande utan avbrott.…
Description Set the third This one was fun, what with the different shapes to play with... For Art Auction! Draw your horse wearing the tack. -You should draw it being worn by the horse who you would like it to be owned by (saddles don't just fit every horse ) -You must draw a full body image and it must be coloured. Shading and backgrounds are up to you. -The tack must be recogniseable. -In the comments, tell me: 1. Why you like/want this tack set 2. Why you chose the horse you did 3. What use the tack will have (ie, costume/shows/dragonhunting/casual-every day) (note that I'm not looking for you to say you'll always draw it; every time the horse is ridden. I'm looking for an answer that fits the horse and the tack. So if you tell me it will be kept just for costume parades; that's fine. If you will use it more often, that's fine, too. Honesty, please ^^). Judging based on: -Likeness of the tack. How accurately you've drawn it. -Creativity. -Your answers to the above questions. Its not a long deadline. It doesn't have to be a painting to rival Michaelangelo. I want to see that you've looked at and been faithful to the design. Deadline: April 4th. Monday am. *If I feel none of the entries show enough consideration for the design, or effort put into it, I reserve the right to not choose any winner* BIDS Owned by: SpartanAmethyst Rules/Useage (I don't often do tack sets so sorry if any of these aren't the staple rules, but they are mine. Don't like; don't bid 1. On dA only. Not to be used in any way off-site. 2. Only for personal/RP use. May not be used commercially. If you win it for a horse and the horse is sold, you can give them the tack or keep it, but you cannot sell it. 3. You do not own any rights to this artwork. You are buying the right to draw and replicate the likeness of the tack. This image must not be reuploaded in your own gallery, or anywhere else, or manipulated by you in any way. 4. Don't claim as your own. 5. Credit must be given somewhere, at least once that the design is mine. On the horse's reference, if you link to tack sets is fine. 6. Don't make any alterations to the tack. If you really, really want to change something small, ask before bidding. That way if I don't allow it, you haven't lost anything. Info Can be used on any horse that it will realistically fit. (ie, its too much for a miniature pony, and any winged/horned horses will have issues getting it on, but barring that, anything goes. Was intended for Nordanners, but does not have to be used for one. Inspired by some cavalry/regiment/mounted unit designs. --If you have questions please ask!-- Materials (You can choose to ignore if you wish) Traditional stitched leather, firm foam, woollen blend and cotton/polyester with rope. Saddle is modelled after an english but isn't quite. Its still sort of fictional on account of the strange cut, curved cantle and wide saddle flaps. Has long girth straps coupled with a dressage style short girth and standard metal stirrups. Standard V-cut breastplate which clips to the girth and saddle. Bridle is a standard double; a bridoon that sits above the curb bit resulting in two sets of reins, one of which exerts lever action. The horse should be comfortable with wearing a double for this. The browband is a V shaped drop style with metallic plaque trims. The half riser is a woollen blend with a firm foam insert and dyed in a pink-yellow gradient. The shaped quarter sheet is resilient but lightweight polyester with a thin cotton lining and ropework is stitched to the edges with a tassel on each side where the shape drops. The rope also forms a crupper for the tail. The star and comet detailing is hand embroidered. This same fabric is used to form the sleeves for the curb reins and the noseband, as well as the face padding up to the browband and between the ears. The boots have a firm leather fronting and a cotton covered gel wrap around the tendons, held in place with elastic grips. A thin leather strap buckles up above the knee to secure the joint guard part of the boots. They're fashioned loosely after the tall fronted riding boots of cavalry costumes. (I haven't drawn the full reins, sorry, but they are standard length). Note that while this depicts a double bridle, yes, you can modify it to work as a single. But it would be nice to see this go to a home where it will be used as shown here ^^. Well, this one was interesting... I haven't actually Googled anything this time around; I just have vague memories and recollections of a certain fashion style in mounted units like the cavalry, and my Muse ran away with the rest. So its possibly nothing like it, but those hazy memories inspired the design. I quite like the colour palette with this one (I think I was aiming for a sunrise? what with the purples giving way to pink and yellow). Hope it goes down well and finds a good home Art and design copyright to Tattered-Dreams Do not take, copy, edit, redistribute or manipulate.
Growing up, we made old-fashioned hard tack candy. My two favorite flavors were cinnamon and wintergreen. Mmmm, mmmm good! Fast-forward (quite a few years). I made this recipe for our kids. Then, when I started making gingerbread houses, I used this recipe for the windows. And of course I always made sure to have enough left over for the kids to eat. This is an easy recipe to make -- one that your grandchildren could make with minimal supervision. They will also enjoy eating it. (Since it's mainly sugar and corn syrup what's there not to like?!? Just as I started making it, our son came over. That's fine and dandy. However, my son needed my husband to help him fix his Jeep. So they went out to my husband's shop. That was not fine and dandy. (My husband is my photographer when I am doing things like this.) Somehow I haven't mastered just yet the skill of stirring-boiling-candy-with-one-hand-and-taking-a-picture-with-the-other-one. So, I have minimal pictures of the cooking, stirring, and pouring the boiling candy into the pan process. Rats! Easy Hard Tack Candy 1 cup water2 cups sugar2/3 cup corn syrup1 teaspoon flavoring oilfood coloring Put the water, sugar, and corn syrup into a heavy sauce pan. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. When it comes to a full rolling boil, turn the heat down to medium high. You do not need to stir the it while it is cooking. Boil until it reaches 295-310 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer. (Hard crack stage.) Remove from heat. Add 3-4 drops food coloring. Stir till the color is well-mixed in. Add the flavoring oil. Stir. Pour into a pan lined with tin foil. Let cool for several minutes. Use a butter knife to score lines into the candy. When the it has cooled, remove it from pan. Pull off the foil and use the handle of the butter knife to tap to to break into small pieces. If so desired, place in a baggy with some powdered sugar. Shake to coat candy pieces. This will keep the candy from sticking together. From start to finish, this takes only about 30 minutes to make. One word about the flavoring. Make sure it is an oil flavoring. If you use the extract flavoring, the flavor won't be very strong. (I guess that is okay -- if you like anemic-flavored candy.) A word of caution. Do not breath in the steam that rises up after putting in your flavoring oil. Do. Not. It will burn your nasal passages! Don't ask me how I know that. Happy candy making. Bon appétit!
the above photo is not a picture of an antique cat and dog, but is a picture of the finally finished Ticking Horse ~ thank you to everyone for your suggestions to keep things simple! i ended up using an antique tack, like the ones i used on the rocker ends, for the riders eye.…
love this tack
