"Reining Saddle"  |
| Western Reining saddle set for the Rose Reiner Resin. |
 |
| This Resin Painted by K. Giebricht from Australia (one of my favorite artist in the hobby) is a gorgeous Palomino paint. He needed a little color but not too much to take away from him. So I chose a lite brown stain thinned by Tan Kote. It not only stains but seals it too. |
 |
| Reining saddles are good looking saddles with a little silver, but not as much as the Western Pleaure or Trail saddles are. So I added just enough to make it eye catching. |
 |
| The stirrups are set for Trad. size dolls but they can be lengthened not shorten as this is not a youth saddle seat. |
 |
| Here you can see the design up close. Hand carved or tooling which ever you prefer to refer to, is in a leaf and acorn pattern. The silver is from "RioRonda Saddle Corner Plate" sets. |
 |
| The saddle seat is Natural skiver dyed the lite brown. |
 |
| The rear view showing the silver corner plates. |
 |
| The headstall is a little wider near the bit. A simple leaf and swirl pattern to complement the set. The Buckle set is from RDLC and the ear piece is RioRondo silver. |
 |
| The bit is a simple curb bit for a well finished horse, (bit from RioRondo). An adjustable curb chain and removeable reins finish it off for style. |
 |
| Tooling in those little areas gives the saddle a finished look. |
 |
| Looks like the real thing!! This is what you want for that "Champion " look!! Doll by me, but not for sale. |
