Horse Make!

June 27th - via: kickstarter.com
Here we are - Barley and I - tacking up a horse.  See me get a welding sunburn.  The lack of skin protection is retarded, I know.  Those little tacks all added up to more exposure than I expected.  You'd think I'd learn. It's exciting to see... (Read More)
