The last time you saw Aethelflaed, I said I thought I might have to redo her dress. So while there's a post on the blog (link in bio) about naming her horse, here's a look at the colours I need to choose among.

Aethelflaed's horse now has mane and tail.

Oh, and a quiff!

The stitching isn't entirely right - the tail has a kink in it - but as I have a lowering feeling I'm about to unpick the back panel of Aethelflaed's dress, I have bigger problems than a kinky tail!

Aethelflaed's horse now has four legs!

I've been working on Aethelflaed's horse again this morning...

Aethelflaed's horse is now properly shod...
