  • If you have an account on forest or mesa it is worth checking out those entries for inspiration. They are going way beyond just putting basic tack on the horse. It's really creative stuff. :)

    Don’t know what’s happening. On my screen the roses are all light green and the horse is shifted up. But when I click through the horse is in the correct place and the roses change colors in a pastel rainbow. I’ve tried a few things. Nothing seems to fix it here. Is it just happening on my side?

  • I layered metal bar pieces until it looked semi solid (each one of them is roared and shifted slightly) and then used barn beams scaled down for the shafts. I used a fan for the wheel and changed the color on the blades so it looked a little better :))

    If we can do a wish list for tack, I have a feeling carts and harnesses will be on it :)) MackZ’s is amazing and they used so many more parts on the harness than me! It’s so cool!

  • Thanks Humboldt! I love how you made your rose wreath!
    That rider took a long time and lots of trial and error. It's definitely not perfect, but I'm happy with it... for now...


    Thanks paradoxphoenix! Your cart horse and pack mule setups are awesome! And your siren gave me the inspiration I was looking for for the seapony pirate I wanted to do. I love how everyone's creations are inspiring others' and getting the creative juices flowing!
    On one hand, I'd totally jump on the wagon to add harnesses and such (see what I did there?). On the other hand, I think having smaller pieces that can be used more broadly would be even better. Half of the struggle to make these ideas work is that most of the tack items are designed for a specific use or horse shape. I think the most useful tack pack (creativity-wise) is the build-a-bridle set because each individual piece can be moved and adjusted to fit multiple different purposes and BCs, whereas one-piece bridles only work on a few BCs.

  • Huh. I need to go fix one of my layouts. Lined XI Artist. Don’t know why or how, but the roses shifted and changed colors….

    Ok, nothing has worked so far. I even redid it and replaced it. But if I click through it looks right, over there. Is it just on my end?

  • I am in awe of the creativity of these entries. I had a little go with the new version of tacking up, but I lack the creativity/imagination of some of my fellow players. Kudos to you all, and huge congratulations to Ammit for a game that enables players to produce such wonders. :)

  • Ammit, They are all amazing! I’m glad judging wasn’t my job, lol! I’m especially blown away by KH Castle on a Cloud! How did they make their horse look transparent?? I tried, and obvs didn’t succeed as you can still see the horse, lol.

    I’m enjoying reading how everyone did their especially tricky elements, like MackZ’s rider. I’d watch YouTubes of their tutorials, if you had time to make a few.
