Thinking of making my own tack (questions)

[RestlessHands]

I have made various things from leather and I feel like tackling a larger project.  

Whether that's me making tack to sell or making tack for me, I'm interested in how the complexity of certain things work.  I'm vaguely aware of how to create a treed saddle, but what I'm really interested in is treeless (seems like a "horse girl" thing so maybe lucrative lol) and so now I'm trying to figure out how to make treeless saddles that aren't shit, with proper wither clearance.

Also, instead of asking The Google I was wondering what your favorite measurements for things like headstalls and breastcollars are. Thanks!

Ah and, completely forgot. I need tips on painting/decorating leather that actually is resistant to light wear (skirting, fenders, back of cantle) as well as where people get their sale hardware from.  Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks

I moved your post to Saddle and Tack Accessory Items.  There are other related sub-forums here as well.  Have a look through them and you may find some of the answers that you are looking for.

Did you know that you can edit your posts?  The time window for editing is about 2 hours.  Look for the 3 dots at the top right of a post, pick it, then pick edit.  This way, you can add info, fix typos, correct statements, etc.
