Nah your English is fine Β
Well I don't have any permanent "simple" way how to make saddle, which works and It does not fall apart, to be honest. Usually each saddle is very specific and I always make each saddle different, than previous And that's kinda problem I'm really trying to make saddle look like real saddle, becouse I like to visit events like Model horse exhibitons and they really care how the saddle looks, so I usually make saddle look like one I have somwhere on photo
When I first made a saddle it looked like... Well "something" on horseback which was amde of leather and a bit of wire. I really didn't look much good xD But you need to try it again and again and again and one day It will look I saddle... Β
Boots... I don't do them usually, becouse I am lazy or I just don't need them for my horses xD I like detailed tack too, but at the moment I don't have much good tools and leather to do nice-patterned tack xD But I am trying
Well the rains areΒ crocheted if you know what is it. It's made with kinda a hook and really silly proces xD xD But it's the fastest way to do the rains, well at least for me Yep there should be Β such group. Dunno if there is or not, but I know, that on facebook is something like that and it's called Model Horse Tack Space I guess xD

I know saddles aren't simple, but the simpleST. I can draw them, but don't rly know how they are made. The authenticity is a problem for me (I'm a perfectionist), and because I rly do realistic saddles in the wrong way, I've tried to create my very own saddle type... For fun. But I've also faileeeed. xD Realistic saddle could be the best, of course... But I don't know have I any money or feelings to buy a real miniature saddle, just because they are often very good > expensive.
First selfmade tack is always adorable! :'D I remember how proud I have been of halters what were made of... metal wire! Only! Now I just laugh for them, BUT because of nostalgia I have only "customized" one old halter... To work better. That classic scale horse has also his original rope yet, but as a bit modified.
I'm not selling anything, but for curiosity, I ask, how much would pay a traditional scale halter? That's my newest, and I know I do these still too much because it's so fun, and I haven't horses much enough: afuze.deviantart.com/art/Viole⦠A lot easier (and bootless) is to make ropes... With chains and without. I've still in love with the rare "buckle" type, what's good to do when I haven't any good jewellery locks or when I am too lazy to create still quite awful hooks: afuze.deviantart.com/art/That-⦠I still understand why real horse tack has no those, they must be a bit dangerous with scared horses.
Uh, you can choose a pattern you like! I buy so, so small part of my takcmaking materials that I just do from these what I have now. From leathers I have black, dark red, brown, and a bit more. Fake leathers and/or suedes I have in theory from colors I want, but I need money to get them.
Metal parts I can do in silver, gold, yellow and red... I know one shop where I can still buy ALL colors I like, but I don't need and it's not so authentic looking then.
Urgh, tools... They make all possible, if you haven't ONE type of pliers, you can sadly do nothing! I've noticed this so well... Luckily I have a box full of pliers, and they are all my very own... And just for this hobby. Hope you can get some new tools!
Crocheted! I don't even remember much of that, but hey, I've done it as a... child. Still think that if I nowadays could see how to do it I could start to crochet ropes and all. Phehe. To this moment I've only cutted some straps from leather (with scissors or knife, NOTHING easy or funny) and glued them to the metal parts I do.
Sadly all is in Face... Blergh, I don't touch it. I keep myself out from Facebook, haven't the profile and never create any. Haha. But here should be, and should create one. I must be a sure member there!
