Be Creative!-Breyer barn edition

A lot of people ask me how to get their Breyer to look realistic without paying to much. here are some tips!

1: In your stalls have REAL shavings! You can use some that are used for a real barn or a pet. Maybe even throw in some clay or dried play-dough to look like poop.

 2: For the horse feed you can mix some random NON-SPOILING grains/sugars. I mixed rice, sugar, flax seed and corn flour. You shouldn't have to pay for something that works the same as something in your kitchen already! I made the scoop out of a soda can and wire!

3: For hay nets you can use some empty onion or orange bags, and put some dry grass or actual hay in it.

4:For grooming kits, rather then paying $12 or $15 dollar for one, make your own! I used a toothbrush for a brush and some wire for a hoof pick. I can remember what I used for the other brush. I just found it and was like "Hmm.. What can I use this for?" 

5: Why pay $12 for a saddle stand when you can make a GREAT one out of Popsicle sticks???
And why pay $20 for a saddle when  you can also make one? (I'll do a tutorial later on for saddles)

I hope this got you thinking about what you can do with things around the house. If you have made something for you barn, out of random things around the house, let me know! I would love to see how creative y'all are! ~OnlyBreyer
