The finish artist - Lisa Rivera Shepard
Lisa did this Sandicast prize horse totally as an Artist Choice. I got a ton of comments on how wonderful he was, and I know he helped us attact the great tack entries we got. You can contact Lisa at lisashepard1@verizon.net and see her customs for sale, periodically, on MH$P (www.modelhorsesalespages.com) Lisa even made sure this Paint was shod, so Karelin can saddle him up for the ride into the western sunset!
Bridle section WINNER and makers revealed!
And the winner is: Jennifer Buxton of Braymere Saddlery! Jennifer made this detailed gaming bridle for MEPSA, where she is familiar to fellow showers for not only her excellent tack, but her great photo set-ups. Jennifer has a popular and very interesting blog at http://braymere.blogspot.com/ She is usually busy with commission work, but if you're very lucky, you may be able to find a spot on her list.
Mary Lineman made this stock show halter and lead rope in a really pretty, soft, light leather, with silver buckle accent. The lead rope is nice and long, so you can position your handler lots of ways. Mary usually only produces tack for herself, but her success in the contest might mean she'll make some available for sale before long. Thank you, Mary!
Here is an authentic and lovely Russian historical bridle- the kind you may see on a Don horse, ridden by nobility. I have seen this in person, and I can't tell you how truly beautiful it is! Jill Aman made this for us at MEPSA. You can see her astounding gallery of work here: http://www.modelhorsecostumes.com/ on her website. I was amazed as I checked out all the neat things there!
"Russian Rapture"
A historical Muscovite Boyar bridle with leadline for light warmblood type horses.

This excellently designed and fitted Chips scale halter was entered by Stephanie Michel. This was a prototype she had done, and then has not had time to do any more tack. You may know Stephanie for her gorgeous custom work! Thank you Stephanie, for supporting MEPSA!
The black set of bridle and breastcollar is by Gabrielle Holst-Kirkegaard, a MEPSA shower, as well as a tackmaker. She has made many brdle and breastcollar sets in different colors and designs. Gabrielle also does web design- her site is: http://gahoki.com/

This adorable mini pack set, complete with donkey, was by our own costumer extrordinaire, Kim Jacobs. Kim is always a great contributor to MEPSA, as well as a dedicated shower. The only way to get Kim's work is to buy what she lists on MH$P when she's ready to sell.
The renowned tackmaker, Karelin Samman, of HAR Ranch, made this lovely, detailed set for MEPSA. It earned her the winning votes, and the Shepard Sandicast! You can see more of Karelin's work at: http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?username=harranch
The huntseat set was made by Mary Lineman. Mary has never made tack for anyone but herself yet, but you can see she has talent. Mary doesn't take commissions, but she wanted to see how people reacted to her efforts. e-mail -mmlineman@comcast.net
This super realistic mini western set with bosal is by Anna Kirby of Dreamflite Studio. Although Anna is too busy to take commissions right now, she has a website at http://www.dreamflitedesign.com and a blog at http://dreamflitedesign.blogspot.com/ where you can keep an eye on when she reopens or any offerings she has ready made.
