Ana...jumi...Creativepursuits....Thank you so much!<br /><br />Ana...juming is surprisingly secure(ish)! Like Jen said, Suitability make a habit pattern, and that is the one I used, although I had to make quite a few changes.<br />The mare is an oversize (15hh) registered Connemara. <br /><br />Nicole...thank you so much...so am I!<br /><br />You're right about the Suitability patterns. I used them for both the jacket and the apron, but I had to lengthen the jacket by 2 inches, and I had to alter the apron quite a bit. It was a good place to start though!<br /><br />Thank you very much Erica ...Blogger and Flickr are both driving me nuts these days...sometimes sharing is made difficult! I will get photos and share though!

I've not used it but I have used their patterns for half chaps and for breeches. I find them to be pretty well done. They also make a dressage coat pattern that includes a cutaway for sidesaddle.<br /><br />Millie - looks like fun!

I've always wanted to try side saddle but would stay on the flat - jumping side saddle looks far too precarious!<br /><br />I did once see a pattern for a habit but I have no idea where - it was in the days before internet (!).<br /><br />Your mare looks lovely - is she Welsh Mountain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-8687919394508238272013-11-21T19:58:12.737+00:002013-11-21T19:58:12.737+00:00She is beautiful!
