My mare is an Andalusian/Arab cross and I am about ready to breed her to
a full Andalusian. I am not able to afford the current pure "Andy"
breed, this is the closest I will be able to come. My dream is to be
able to make many different costumes to ride her with. (I want an
orange/black [which looks brown] shot taffeta Victorian, side-saddle
habit for sure). My girlfriend has offered to help me make a complete
hand Inkled tubular breast collar crupper, etc. for a more "Arabick-y"
style. I have fiddled with caprisons, making a "chair" sidesaddle etc.
I am all over the place in time and country in my dreams...check this
site out...http://www.kreml.ru/en/main/collection/museum/harness/. (For
the non-nagger costumer, there are some very cool "regular" costumes too.)
The closest I have come to riding in costume is at some local SCA events
in a linen tunic, schooling tights, and a pair of Ariat Heritage
packers! Pretty sad considering my collection of fabrics and ideas.
Love this thread...p.s. I am in the middle of cooking a large historic
meal today...but will post pictures of my naggers later....They are on
my webpage somewhere already, but I can't find them!

I am also interested in other people's areas of interest in costumes,
if only because the people on this list are so knowledgeable and
willing to share. I'm sure that I will NEVER attain the fabric
related skills of many people on this list, but it is so much fun to
see what others have accomplished. Brightens up my day with these
beautiful things
Sg- what type of horse did you buy and what type of costuming are you
looking to reproduce?
I would also like to share horse stories with you folks.
