customising the Micklem


...a Blue Peter moment...
John helped me customise their new bridles this weekend.

They're  not as soft and padded as their Keiffer bridles, so though its kinder, I do feel the harsh nature of an unpadded and narrow noseband a little uncomfortable for them.  So we customised with the clever use of sheepskin patches.

...and here we show you how...

Firstly, punch thier names in the leather.
 
 







Then, cut real sheepskin to size, for the noseband and under chin part...and stick the pieces on using the sticky pads that number plates are stuck on with - its durable and easy to use.


Voila!
