Phew!

I survived the middle school field trip and I finished Laura's traditional scale pony huntseat set.

Laura wanted a two tone jumper type saddle with very forward flaps.  

That didn't sound terribly complicated, but I had all sorts of trouble getting the pattern right.  At one point, I was afraid that it wasn't ever going to work.  Fortunately, my persistence paid off, and I'm quite pleased with the way this saddle turned out.

I also like the bridle, especially the padding which matches the saddle's seat and padded flaps. 

I'm so glad to have this one in the finished column.  This has been a very eventful week, and I'm looking forward to a little downtime this weekend.
