Last week, Sally Whippet asked a question on the Frequently Asked Questions post. I didn't answer right away, because to answer properly I was going to have to hunt for something. Believe me, I hunted all over that silly hard drive and had myself pretty worried that the photos had gotten lost somewhere. I finally found them, though!
In 2007 or 2008, I was commissioned to create a portrait set for a custom Secretariat. This was a really fun, challenging project. I had done racing tack before, but never a hood. That took some thinking, trying, and trying again before I got it 'okay'. Looking back, I'm not happy with it and I'm pretty sure I wasn't happy with it then, either, but there's only so much you can do. Unfortunately, these pictures were taken before the saddle blanket was finished. What's on there now is a pad, the edge of which can just be seen in the reference photo.

And here's a slightly more recent racing set.
So, Sally, to answer your question: Yes, I do make racing tack!
