Tack Stuffz

I need to cut down on the amount of tack I own. Seriously, I have far too much crap for ONE FREAKING HORSE. Just in my tack locker, I have 3 halters, 6 bridles, 2 saddles, 2 bareback pads, and 5 saddle pads. This doesn't even include the tack I have in my tack trunk and trailer.

For one horse.

Yeah, I need to downsize. Big time.

I only use 1 halter, 2 bridles, 1 saddle, 1 bareback pad, and 3 saddle pads. The rest of it just sits there, waiting for that once in a blue moon day I feel like pulling it out and putting it on my horse. Now, if I had a barnfull of equines, I could justify the insane amount of tack I possess, but I don't.

The stuff that isn't in my locker is mostly old stuff or stuff that didn't work out and I couldn't return. Obviously, the manky things will just be tossed, but there's plenty of decent, usable stuff that's just taking up space.

One of these days, hopefully soon, I'll be motivated to empty out my repositories of tack, clean it all up, take pictures, and post it for sale on the internet. I'm still at the "I really should do that....... but not right this second" stage.

Though I see motivation around the corner. I've got my eye on a pair of fancy-shmancy stirrup irons that flex to relieve knee and ankle stress. As I have crap knees, I'm really looking to replace my cheap, single jointed stirrup irons. They just don't have enough give. However, fancy-shmancy stirrup irons cost a lot of money. If I sell off some extra tack, I'll have money. Money to buy new stirrup irons........
