So I'm thinking maybe early next year would be a fun time for the Carousel Swap! This swap would be skill based and divided into two catergories, with a small newbie class for those interested. Sculpting would not be required, but encouraged. Because of the complexity of the swap, I would probably limit entries to 10 or so depending on if there was any demand.
Carousel horses traditionally have a saddle (often an optional bridle as well). They come countless in designs.
Any takers?

Colorscapesart's feedback:
http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php?action=trader&id=7014Rules:
1. You must have 3 positive feedback for custom ponies and no negative feedback.
2. You must have been a member for at least 6 months before sign ups are over.
3. You must have completed at least 10 custom ponies before the sign up period. Please send pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs to show the quality of your work. This is a skill based swap and I need to know where to put you.
4. Ship on time! I realize real life issues come up sometimes. If this happens, I want to know about it as soon as you realize you will be late.
5. No shipping early! I will be withholding addresses until shipping time to prevent this. The exception will be when your partner is ready to ship as well. I don't want anyone disappointed in this swap and with so many people going MIA lately, it's best for everyone to hold off until we are sure their partners haven't disappeared.
6. Be prepared with progress pics at progress date.
7. Send me pictures of your completed custom before you ship. I want to know your custom is complete before it goes out.
8. Let me know right away when you ship your pony and when you receive one.
9. Do not let anyone know who your partner is. It is secret.
10. Extras are not required, but are welcome. However, do not go overboard with these. This is about the customs. A small treat/gift or 2 is fine and good but not too much. After all, you worked hard on the custom, it should be the most exciting part!
11. This swap includes all generations of flowers (G1, G2, G3, G3.5, and G4), if there are any of these you do not like, include that in your form. Do not use any fakies unless your partner requests it.
12. You must be in no more than 2 other swaps (total of 3).
13. The title of your PM should be Glitter Bomb, so I know you read the rules.
14. PM the sign up form to me by the sign up deadline.
15. You must check in for the final check in 1 week before shipping. If you do not check in, you will not be receiving a pony.
16. KEEP YOUR SHIPPING RECEIPTS! You need to be able to produce proof of shipping when asked. You need to hold onto your receipt until your partner confirms that they have received their pony. I also highly recommend delivery confirmation for those not shipping internationally.
17. IF AT ANYTIME YOU DO NOT ABIDE BY ANY OF THESE RULES, YOU WILL BE PULLED FROM THE SWAP. This includes, but is not limited to, missing check ins and sharing partners. Make sure you are familiar with the rules before you sign up. You are expected to follow them.

Link to feedback:
Links to pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs (more than one image if each is welcome) {Please send pictures that show off the qualities you intend to possibly use on your custom. Sending me a bunch of ponies that are heavily sculpted but don't show off your painting skills when you only plan to paint or showing off ponies with no sculpting when you plan to sculpt is not very useful for pairing you up. Please choose what you feel are the best of your recent ponies displaying the qualities that would be useful for this swap.}:
