Let me preface this with , my horse wasn't having it he buddy sour and it was feeding time.
I was instructed for my saddle fitting to plaster my horses back Vs using the wire method. Okay , i am crafty I think I can do this.
First I used stick and peel paper that you use for wrapping food . I stuck it to his back. So I could lay the wet plastic gauze over it
2.) Get gauze from Amazon that is already coated in plaster of Paris.
3.) wet gauze and start laying it on his back over the stick and peel so the horse will not be covered in plaster ! Side Note: I will be covered in plaster as will the barn walls , floor and areas at least 10 feet away
4.) Fight relentlessly with the gauze and trying to find the start of the slimy roll and cause a huge mess
5.) Be hopeful my said mold is enough to satisfy saddle maker.
6,) take mold off after 10 to 15 min and set aside
7.) All said and done it works ! I have an exact replicate of my horses back for a fitting
8.) leave mess and clean up for the morning.
9.) i have to put it back on him and get a level and make a Level line across the side and also mark the center of the withers on the mold.
