Secretariat's Racing Tack

I just got an email today from Lisa Bickford, showing her lovely Secretariat in the tack I made for him.  It's the Valor resin by Carol Williams, painted by the very talented Lisa Bickford of 3B Designs.  I just wanted to share with everyone the finished product.  Original photo by Lisa Bickford:

Now, I decided to have a little fun with GIMP (something like PhotoShop)....it'd be a great photo show entry if that was allowed!


 This is all I have for model horse-related stuff at the present.  My extended break will continue until I'm officially moved, but I will eventually pick up again.  If anyone is interested in a set of any kind, just let me know and I'll gladly take down your name and get back in touch with you when I'm unpacked.  You can email me at purdue2781@yahoo.com.  Thanks!

Racing Set -- DONE!

I'm finally done!  Well, I was done yesterday, but then I was tacking up Valor to take some pics and the overgirth buckle broke :-/  Darn leather.  I really put some time into making the overgirth neat, so I'm going to have to improvise unfortunately instead of remake.  Normally super glue is really strong, but this set is going to have the overgirth buckled forever, so there will always be the stress of the elastic girth pulling on the strap.  I'm wondering if I should sew the joint....yep, that's what I should do.

Ok, so I took care of that now so here's the finished set photos.
