National Model Tack Month

NaMoPaiMo is over and my horse is still not finished. But that doesn't stop me from thinking of the next projects I want to make. When NaMoPaiMo ended a few hobbyists decided to host National Model Tack Month!

I have made very little tack in my hobby life. I made some really, really simple blankets and legwraps for my toy ponies when I was little and of course, I made rubber band bridles! But that is as far as I went and fortunately there are no pictures of any of my childhood "tack".

Since I've found the model horse hobby I've wanted to try to make some tack but to this day my tackmaking attempts consists of 2 blankets, 2 satin ribbon halters and several simple rope halters.

But I want to try my hands at some saddles and bridles, and maybe, one day, even a harness (a girl can dream right?). So I thought National Model Tack Month would be the perfect opportunity to try as I learned so many great things during NaMoPaiMo. I have yet to sign up as I haven't decided what to make yet but I put in an order from Rio Rondo and hopefully my supplies will be here in time for April 1st which is when National Model Tack Month starts!
