| Western Pleasure dino owned by Erin Corbett |
I am also excited about it, and since this is one of the big prize Performance Jackpot classes, I decided there needed to be at least one tacked up dinosaur in the prize pool. I bought this guy and went to work.
This is what I've come up with so far.
It's sort of a modified Barcoo bridle.
Sort of.
Now I need to choose a saddle design. Do I go with something resembling a normal (i.e. equine) saddle or maybe something more along these lines?
And then there's the whole scale problem. How big should the rider be in proportion to her mount? Is the Dinotopia cover correct? Or do I make things easier on myself and do something more akin to Cameron's drawing.
Oh Lordy, I have fallen down a dinosaur tack wormhole. Please send help!

ReplyDeleteYes and yes!!
DeleteMaybe the saddle should be based off the Jurassic World saddles, since that scene was your initial inspiration? And if the scale is wrong for an adult rider, you can just say it's for a child/junior rider like in the film. In fact, you could lean into the junior rider theme and add the handle bar at the front of the saddles from the film scene! x
ReplyDeleteI love, love Dinotopia. The books are gorgeous and full of pictures. Would you like to see more inspiration for saddles?
ReplyDeleteSomeone already beat you to it! A whole bunch of Dinotopia tack photos were uploaded to the Jennifer Show Facebook page earlier today. They are amazing. Oh, for more hours in the day (and room on my shelves)!
DeleteDo one like they put on camels!
