TACK |
My books are usually full, though now open on a limited
basis; please e-mail me to find out more.
I put a large emphasis on authenticity and detail.
Wherever possible, my tack is true to life in miniature scale.
When it is not possible or simply too impractical to do so, then
I substitute as best as I can while still maintaining authenticity
and usability.
My braided bridles and braided applique tack can be
made in any color, and are a unique and beautiful addition to
any tack box. Please inquire for more information.
To see close-ups of the tack worn by the Khemosabi
resin, choose the saddle or bridle button below.

Jennifer Zuraski
All of my saddles are made with the highest quality
leather available. Most is lightweight tooling leather to allow
for the intricate custom tooling while still maintaining proper
scale and the ability to lie naturally. I also use heavier leather
when needed, as well as skiver that is also sometimes delicately
tooled. The seats are fitted individually, and quilted if desired.
The saddles all have authentic latigos on the near side and buckle
billets on the off side, so they cinch up like a real saddle.
All western sets can include the saddle, rear cinch-ring
tabs with silver buckles for Western Pleasure or rear latigos
and cinch to allow for working classes (not shown), breast collar,
saddle pad and bridle. Each item can also be purchased separately.
At this time, the links below are inactive while I
update my web pages. I am not taking custom orders for tack right
now, but will sometimes make tack to sell. I am making a lovely
historical ladie's astride set for the NAN 2006 auction, and will
occasionally make tck to donate to live shows.
