Anne Field's Set. Completed Aug 22, 2016
This set was a long work in progress because I had a baby so it was so nice that I was able to finally get it done. It is modeled after a real parade saddle and I loved doing this for Anne. Its like a museum piece but model horse size.
Restoration of 2007 set originally made for Annette Dean and recently sold to Renee Jordan. Top pix are saddle set the day it was made and then on the appy is Renee with the set here in 2015, next pix is the restoration process begun. I redid most of the silver on the set, added some extra silver, recovered the tree horn and tooled the silver so it sparkled. March 2015
This set was made for Beth P. She has a CM Breyer Huck Bey that she wanted a parade set for. It took me awhile to figure out what I was going to do. Beth had a couple pix of some older arabs in parade that I started off with and then I found this pix of parade chaps and vest and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the design. I included pix of Beth's arab, my muse pix and a pix of this set on a Peter Stone ASB. I have always made sets that were too big for the ASB so having one that fir was pretty cool to see and now I know for the future about what size a set should be for a PS ASB. February 2015
Operation restore NAN 2007 Champion set.
Third owner of this set approached me and said they had just bought the set. She asked if I could restore it and make a rump piece for the set. So, when I received it I began the restoration process of bringing it back to its awesome splendor. I re-did the silver horn, all the saddle strings and conchos, did some buffing on the silver lacing, re-positioned a couple red roses, tore off the the lining of the saddle and added thinner material, freed cracks and creases of dust, made the stirrups doll friendly, I did some new silver work on the tapaderos, made a fully adjustable sliding rump hip drop piece, replaced all the silver on the bridle and made it fully adjustable for bigger headed models, added the adjustable front forehead piece, added new braided reins, added some new silver dots on the bridle behind the ears piece and done some new buckles work.....PHEEW.
July 2014. Kim B's set. Modeled after a real set as pictured below.
I enjoyed making this set because it was something a bit different than normal. All those rectangular pieces are hand cut. Kim sent me the pix and said she wanted something like what was in the picture. Now this set had to be there for NAN and I ended up finishing it and it was delivered like right before she was to show. Unfortunately I was in such a hurry I put some bridle buckles on the wrong side. Dammit. Ya, we fixed that.

Yellow Rose Set !!
Finished March 2013. This set seemed like it took me forever but I was trying to get everything perfect. Each star is hand cut and tiny yellow roses decorate the saddle in all the correct spots. There is even yellow roses at the end of each hip drop. This set is about as close as I could get to the real thing. I tried to model the bridle after a real set. Even the nose band moves to give it more adjust-ability. Owned By Myself.
