Oh yes, another thing. I have lost the top knob on the cantle. Any suggestions on replacements?
I've been considering making a sporran along those lines, but I hadn't worked out how to attach the hair. What size mesh did you use?

And as for your second question, try clanart.com. They have a fairly good selection.
