Horse Tack

Tack is the equipment used to ride and handle your horse, bridles, saddles and the accessories that go with them.

For the Horse

Tack is the equipment used to ride and handle your horse, bridles, saddles and the accessories that go with them. Because tack sits directly against the horse and carries real forces, correct fit, sound materials and regular maintenance are matters of safety as well as comfort.

This category brings the saddlery range together, from bridles and reins to saddle pads, girths and headcollars.

Fit is safety

Saddles should be fitted by a qualified professional, and bridles and bits fitted with care. Poorly fitting tack causes pain and behavioural problems and can be dangerous, so never compromise on fit.

Choosing quality leather

Good-quality leather is stronger, more comfortable and longer lasting. Check stitching, billets and buckles when buying, and keep leather clean and conditioned so it stays safe and supple.

Regular checks

Inspect tack regularly for worn stitching, cracked leather and stressed billets, particularly at points that carry load. Replace anything that is worn before it fails.

Horse Tack: your questions answered

Wipe off sweat and dirt after use, clean with saddle soap, and condition periodically to keep the leather supple. Store tack somewhere dry and well ventilated.

Saddles should always be professionally fitted, and expert help with bridle and bit fit is wise. Correct fit protects your horse and keeps you safe.
