Custom Tack
I take about three commissions a year (in the summer), where each tack slot is for one month. If I can finish one of the tack slots early, or if the commissioned pieces are small, I may take a fourth commission. You can reserve a tack slot by emailing me. Next tack slots available: May, June, July 2011.

Custom Painted Model Horses: Portraits
I believe that a model horse can capture the life and spirit of your horse like no painting can. I can find you a model horse to fit your horse's build and discipline, and have it painted by one of several fabulous artists. Commissions for custom sculptures and bronzes also available. Prices upon request only.

8/19/2010 Thanks for a great year! My tack studio is now closed until May 2011. The portrait service IS OPEN, and I am now taking reservations for Spring 2011 :)
7/29/2010 Alas, it is the end of July... this means that EidboStudio will close soon (August 4th), and will reopen May 2011.
I just finished a third set of tack for the 2010 season. I'm hoping to finish ONE more set before August. The set I am planning to make is a gorgeous dark chocolate brown, and will have intricate handcrafted gold accents and pieces. I haven't decided if it will be an FEI dressage set, or an Elite jumping set... this set may be sold, so if you are interested, contact me now :)
