Artist's Comments

This deviantion [link] was my inspiration to do up my westernsaddle and make it look more like a warhorse's saddle. I love the result, it came out better than I thought. It took loads of nerves to cut up a perfectly good sheepskin en make it into the cover. The breastpiece is bought, but the backpiece is made out of scraps of leather tack. The reins are custom made by my design and the headstall is again made from scrap of leather tack. The tassels are made out of the hair that used to be his mane.

The headstall in the drawing will be a project for some future day and might be made out of leather or tabletweaving. I also might still adjust the sheepskin where my legs are ( fenders) and shave of even more furr and add the knotwork type fender somehow.

Also check my gallery for some more lurvverly picss of this 'outfit'

:wow: I can't believe my eyes!! That's G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!! :w00t: Everything matches perfectly and gives an authentic feeling! Must fav this! :D

I told you that i had done medieval tack and a saddle for my horse, too. But i must really be ashamed for what i've made in comparison to what you accomplished. Yours is by far better! :nod:

So you gave me an important impulse to improve my work! :XD:

:blush: thanks severeene! I would still like to see yours! I must confess that I did use photoshop to remove some concho`s. It was faster to do `post production` than to srew them all off for the shoot hehe.

A masterpiece if I may say so. beautiful work! The horse is just... Oh, I'm supposed to be commenting on the saddle. Well, it's very thought out and it looks comfortable. Beautiful leatherwork

I'll first have to pimp my saddle before i upload it! ;-) And currently i'm at university and only come home every third week, so i hardly get the time to work on the saddle and the tack again. But we'll having "Pfingstpause" soon, so maybe i can fix something :-)

Hehe...yes, Photoshop's a real fine tool to remove or fix unlucky things! :D I use it quite frequently, too... :lol:

"He's so.....mean..."
"Who, Lance? Naw, he's of a SPECIAL tribe."
"Really? What's that?"
"The tribe of the A-hole-ians."
"Kreet, is that really a real tribe?"
