New to the hobby, excited to start tack-making!

Hello! I have been on a hiatus from horseback riding since an accident a few years ago, so am slowly soaking up all new horse-related hobbies. I started off playing horsegeneticsgame, and have since felt the pull to expand into models and mini-tack-making. I am so excited to be re-engaging in art and my creative side in a whole new way! (I love to paint, draw and sew.)

I have my first model, and have ordered some tack-making supplies (felt, elastic, glue, and even a couple of tutorial/kits from mymodelhorse). I'm glad to have found this site to catalogue the things I learn and make, and maybe even show them off in some competitions!

I'm moving in August, so my first project will be a trailering set - trailering boots, cooler, neck slinky and maybe a fly mask. I'll be mostly making these up as I go, so please wish me luck! :)

Welcome, glad you're here!

Welcome!
Models are such a great way to engage with horses when you can't have the real thing. I can't wait to see the tack you make! I always want to, but my stubby fingers hate doing the fiddly bits lol I will live vicariously through you.
