2016 - Smiles Donation Set to The Jennifer Show
This top live show quality tack set has plenty of bling that is sure to catch the judges - and everyone else's - eye. No detail has been spared – the leather has been skived and stitch marked (the saddle pad, too) and features contrasting darkened edges, Rio Rondo etched fancy buckles with tongues and crystals, tiny silver and black studs, one of a kind, hand made conchos, tiny hand painted smiley faces, and a matching bit. All of the buckles are working tongue buckles and have keepers (the breast collar is three-way adjustable), and the tie down and reins are adjustable via sliding fancy etched buckles. The overreach boots are topped off with tiny little smiley faces to compliment to bridle and breast collar, while the saddle pad has a wither strap and decorative corner leathers (with studs and smiley faces). The SMB boots feature tiny logos and will fit both the front and rear legs.
Everything in this set reflects the modern trends of the barrel racing and gaming realm. From the tiny studs on the caveson; the conchos on the one ear bridle, breast collar, and tie down keeper; and the matching braided reins and tie down, to the color-coordinated cutback "wool" felt pad, felt-lined nylon girth, Sports Medicine Boots, and thematically printed overreach boots, this set has it all. It will fit a variety of molds, including, but not limited to, Ruffian, Show Jumping Warmblood/SJW/Ideal, and Roxy.

2014 Donation to Plastic Ponies on Parade
The set includes a rope halter with a bronc noseband and lead rope, a one ear bridle with clip-on reins, and a breast collar. The rope halter is lilac with a matching zebra bronc noseband adorned with tiny octagonal studs and a fuzzy purple lead rope. The bridle features a one ear piece with a zebra concho and round studs, and the cheek pieces are hand painted in a lilac zebra pattern with round studs decorating the edges. I did not permanently attach the bit - the loose ring with the lilac mouthpiece shown is just sticky-waxed to the bridle, so I can put any bit you want on the bridle. The breast collar sports the lilac zebra pattern and round studs, along with three tongue buckles. All of the tack is stitch marked and has tongue buckles.
