Back in the saddle

Working on the saddle today; made it a little bigger, in hopes that with shrinkage it'll still accommodate my hamster heroine. Since I had to built up the back (cantle? Is that right?) to keep the rider level, I had a big boring surface to deal with, so I added a saddle bag. Which then led to a canteen, which meant I needed something on the other side for balance. Finally decided on a loop of climbing rope, though I briefly considered a rock-climber's axe. Cliff diving, y'know.

And here's our Harriet mounted and ready for battle.
