" Western Pleasure Saddle set"
 |
| This is a Brown Stain with lots of bling. Silver plates and stirrups from RioRondo. |
 |
| The model here is a Breyer Man O War. He is smaller than a classic. I used him for a model for fitting the set. |
 |
| A nice showy breast collar that shows off the chest. |
 |
| This set is for a CM Man O War. |
 |
| The stirrups are just right for this little guy. |
 |
| My stirrups are set at the horses elbows. But they can be lengthened if need be. |
 |
| Top view. |
 |
 |
| I like the show bridles clean and neat. This bit is from RioRondo, the reins are floss. Buckels I made from conchos. For the curb strap I used 1/16 dark brown leather lace. |
 |
| This model has a pretty head. |
 |
| The hand tooling I did here is a swirl around the five petal flower. This set is going to Australia, Danielle is the proud owner. I hope she'll send pics of it on the CM Man O War. |

" Over Fences at BreyerFest 2012" |
| A real beauty here, I just love the total look. Annette Dean judged the English Division at BreyerFest 2012. |
 |
| Lots of action in this set up. I like the stock English pad she used on this Custom. |
 |
| Nice and neat here, looks like a winner! |
 |
| The documentation was very clear , and the set up just right. |
 |
| The judge felt this jump could be dangerous, something to consider when buying or making a jump. |
 |
| Julia Harmon can really bring a set to life. She is a real example for any one to learn from. |
 |
| This beautiful Custom by Tiffany Purdee is a real winner at Breyerfest. |
 |
| This is a nice set, but I think it can be better if the base of the stand was covered to match the grass like cloth they used here. |

"Parade Set for Terry Heath" |
| Parade saddle in Black stain with silver pieces. |
 |
| This Peter Stone model has a very hard body to fit. It has a very short back, so I used the saddle tree from RDLC. |
 |
| This bit combo is from RioRondo , I like their bits for Parade. |
 |
| Terry wanted a design on the forehead. I like this on his head. |
 |
| An ajustable curb chain. |
 |
| I chose to place the buckle at the top of the head. |
 |
| This horse makes a really pretty Parade horse. |
 |
| Here you can see the top of the bridle. |
 |
| From the top of the Saddle you can see how short his back is. |
 |
 |
| A close up of the saddle. |
 |
| Off to the shows! Best of luck Terry , bring home the BLUES!! |
