Horse Tack

The words horse tack cover a wide range of equipment that is available today to the modern horse owner. There are so many different items that are considered horse tack that I could have devoted my entire website to just a few of them. For this reason, I am just going to give an overview of tack in general, writing about the main pieces of equipment for horses that you would be likely to encounter everyday and therefore need to know about.
Here are the links to the pages on horse tack . . .

Bridles The bridle is the most important part of all tack. Along with the riders voice, legs and body position, the bridle makes you able to communicate your instructions to a horse. Without a bridle, most riders would be completely lost.

Saddles The saddle is the second-most important item when riding a horse. Most riders cannot ride without a saddle and you would be unable to learn the art of proper riding without one.

Horse Training Aids I once heard a saying that said that horse training aids work well in the hands of an expert, but that a true expert should have no need of them. However, there are times where you may find yourself in need of one of these little gadgets.

Horse Clothing The trained, ridden horse of today needs many items of clothing and other accessories to keep it warm, clean or dry. You will be surprised by the amount of things a horse can wear.
