Welcome! My name is Cindy Cilker, aka The Mini Tack Girl, and I have been making Live Show Quality Stablemate and Micro Mini tack since early 1999. Currently I am not making or selling any tack because until the end of 2007 I am studying abroad in Spain and then traveling Europe! Oh darn ; ). I began making mini tack as a sophomore in high school, not long after discovering the model horse hobby. I began for two reasons: 1) because of the challenge; upon seeing a picture of SM tack in a Just About Horses Magazine and not believing my eyes, I decided “I'm going to do that someday,” and 2) since Traditional-sized tack had already been made as realistic and technically correct as possible, but not the smaller scales. So I made it my goal to perfect SM tack. When I began college in 2002 my output decreased drastically to only a few sets a year, so I quit taking orders and only sold pre-made tack on Ebay or the ModelExchange. And now, as I said, I’m going abroad, so I cannot promise anything over the next year. But if you’re persistent you can find others selling my tack, so best of luck! Please browse the galleries and take care! Thanks!
