Realistic cross country setups


Hi! I've decided to be a more active blogger now as I've come out of my model horse hobby slump thanks to my friend who makes the most gorgeous tack and paints beautiful customs (see my last post!)

While with my friend recently, we dug a hole in her garden (much to her gardener's disgust!) and built a setup and took some photos. I have a pretty awful phone so the quality isn't great, but I hope you'll be able to use this and maybe make a setup yourself! Keep an eye on my blog as I am about to start making a saddle for my gorgeous custom!




Include different angles and funny positions!




I love this angle as it gives you an idea of the scene!
This angle is nice too just removing the hosepipe would be great!
Create different kinds of jumps for more variety!


Include jumps in and out of the water and through ditches!



I think this is my favourite picture and angle, it looks realistic.




This gives you an idea of what the rider sees and the hoofprints add realism too!
The water looks great here!


This is pretty much the stuff you need to build a good XC setup!

Use different decorations for your fences!

 
 
 
I hope this tutorial has helped you create a successful XC setup! Email pictures of your setups to mramasamy@godolphinandlatymer.com for them to be posted on this blog! See you soon :)
