2015 Donation Set to Operation Smile - $240

This is a brand new, unshown, top live show quality tack set. It has plenty of bling that is sure to catch the judge’s eye. No detail has been spared – the leather has been skived and stitch marked 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 (I can change the bit style upon request; any bit style/material/color is available, including rubber and rope nosed hackamores). The reins and tie down style/color/material will also be made to the customer's specifications. All of the buckles are working tongue buckles and have keepers. For an additional fee (which will be donated to Operation Smile), I can make a matching saddle pad, Sports Medicine Boots, and overreach boots (even in a smiley face print). 

This set includes a caveson and tie down, one ear bridle with bit and reins of customer's choice, breast collar with tie down keeper, and a matching yellow nylon and black felt girth. It will fit a variety of molds, including, but not limited to, Ruffian, Show Jumping Warmblood/ SJW/ Ideal, and Roxy. Additional photos can be found in my MH$P ads, found here: http://modelhorsesalespages.com/searchlist.asp?Accid=12248 .

If you want to get your entry noticed, this is the set for you – just add a saddle!

The price of the set is $240, the cost of one critical operation to give a child a brighter future.

Many hours have been put into this set, and 100% of the sale goes to Operation Smile, an organization that performs potentially life-saving cleft palate operations in various countries from around the world. You can feel good knowing that your treat to yourself is spreading true happiness around the world - something sure to make anyone and everyone smile!

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.
