Horse Gear

I’ve been riding horses for over 20 years, so I know a thing or two about tack and riding gear. I find that one of the most essential pieces of equipment for riding horses is a good saddle pad. However, for some horses, a standard pad doesn’t offer enough support, and that’s where Impact Gel […]

As a kid, I would have happily lived in the stables. It wasn’t just the close proximity to horses (although that is an obvious factor). It was the access to everything horse-related. One of my favorite things to do was to go into the tack room and try to learn what each piece of equipment

If you’ve ever had a stirrup leather snap mid-canter, you know what a valuable piece of tack a good set of leathers are. Stirrup leathers help keep you in the saddle and assist you with maintaining a balanced seat over rough terrain. You can also expect a much more comfortable ride with a good set

I love riding bareback because it makes me feel at one with my horse and improves my seat and balance. But sometimes, riding bareback can be uncomfortable because you and your horse get sweaty, and it’s hell if you have a bony, high-withered horse. I find one of the best ways to ride without a

This is where Tin Haul boots come in. Tin Haul boots are bold and full of character. Not only do these handcrafted

“A knight may ‘earn his spurs’ as he moves up the ranks.” Our instructor would often make this statement to motivate our riding squad. Although it didn’t really make any sense to me, it was still better than his disparaging remarks. If you are an experienced equestrian, you must be aware of boot spurs and

I know it can be tough to find a waterproof pair of river boots that are not only stylish but also comfortable to wear for extended periods. Plus, even if you find a couple with these qualities, there is no guarantee that that pair will be widely available. Suppose you also happen to be new

If you’re looking for the best saddle soap options for cleaning your tack, you’ve come to the right place. Call me crazy, but tack cleaning is one of my favorite barn chores. I love the smell of old leather and polishing it till it shines. I’ve cleaned a lot of tack in my years of
