YOu can get a pattern for a horse from the feltcraft book. But Dannielle's dragon is her pattern
You can actually just draw a simple outline of a horse and then lay that pattern over a piece of paper... line the paper un evenly with the belly then go up about an inch...
you will have apattern piece with half a bell and the legs on it, cut this out on a fold of felt and you have the inset piece-Dannielle is the mastermind behind this genius "smacking head OH! yeah" moment

So, what feltcraft book are the patterns in? I did my horse freehand, but a pattern would be so nice. He had to have a little "tummy tuck" cause I over-estimated on the inset piece.

You girls are WAY more talented than me because anytime I even attempt to draw a horse even this simple... well, he looks like he has barely survived a famine.
since there doesn't seem to be an actual horsie-a-long going on, could i talk anyone into describing exactly, in precise detail, they apply the mane and tail?
i'm just getting ready to start my first horse and i wanna do it right. yeah, right, i know that there's no one right way, but ya'll know what i mean. lol.
No problem.. Here it goes.. I make the tail like a pony tail..(U take say a 6 inch section of yarn and fold in half.. Now this is different for each size horse.. Now one end will have loops and the other end will be open.. I find the center and tie the same color yarn around th pony tail. Will post picts in a bit.. then knot it and sew it onto the horsie tush.... Same applies for the mane. but I stitch it down so that it covers a longer area and ( spread out so to speak.. If you can wait I will show you toinght. Just tack it down good all along the back of the horsie.. then I clip the loops open and I am done..
