Hi

Where can I find an affordable 1/6 bridles and saddles? I want to make a western horse for my Clint Eastwwod figure (I will probably use a Marx horse Thunderbolt)
Thank you

Sorry I can't help dude - have no idea where to find those things, but since we're on the topic, i'm looking for a 1/6 horse - any ideas what the best options are? Preferably in some kind of animate pose, like running or rearing. I've come across the DiD ones, just wondering if there's other/where to get them!

The best 1/6 Horses is still the Marx thunderbolt. There available on Ebay, reasonably priced. Some of you may recognise the 'pattern', the mold was re-usedby Toys Mccoy for their Arabian stallion. They have few issues. They are made from Styrene plastic, & hollow which males them very light.
They also have mold and join lines, this is not an issue a craft knife & a little wet & dry fine sand paper cant take care of. It Will give them a very nice matte finish that you can then paint to your requirements.
BTW Stevo makes metal shoes for these guys. He is genius with anything 1.6 and western

Unfortunately the guy (genius) who made the western saddle for my Indiana jones horse no longer works, infact he may have passed, shame HE was the best & a gentleman.

I bought a DiD saddle and bridle set off eBay a couple years back. Good quality stuff and you could get them for around $30 or so at the time. Not sure about the current cost.
