In South Carolina, the majority of people that ride horses are here are recreational riders. That means that trail riding is very popular. Last weekend, there was a big ride. Trail riding is not my cup of tea, but I do trail ride at home just to help my horses relax. At the trail ride last weekend, there was a silent auction that benefitted the Wounded Warrior Project and St. Judes Children Hospital. I was asked to donate something. When I was pregnant, I started making custom tack to help pass the time since I spent part of my pregnancy on bed rest. I still occasionally make pieces but not nearly as often as I used to. When I was asked to make a donation I thought, hmmm I could make another piece of tack. I decided to do a one-eared headstall. Here is what it turned out like.
After I made this piece, I remember how much I enjoyed making tack. I am now starting back designing tack in my spare time. As I design more pieces I will probably open an Etsy store. I also take custom orders so you if have an idea feel free to email me to see what we can come up with.
