We’re starting to assemble tack for Eugene. The trainer said she’d been riding him in myler comfort snaffle. And I was like, score one for being a tack hoarder; I’ve got one of those. It was Finnick’s bit and I never managed to sell it, but I did need to find it.
Which brings us to another episode of texts with my husband:
Despite having two tack rooms and a trailer, a fair number of horse supplies somehow find themselves in our house. Because I have this unrealistic ambition that I won’t keep horse stuff in our house, I don’t have a place for it, and it just ends up all over the place. And really, given the random selection of items mentioned here, one might come to the conclusion that nothing in my house has a place, but that’s not true. That casserole dish totally has a place in the cabinet above the fridge. It’s been on top of the dishwasher for at least a year, but it has a place.
Does anyone else keep horse stuff at home?
HAHA that text convo made me laugh. im trying really hard to control the horse … sprawl. i gave it its own closet so that helps.
A place for everything and everything in its place, wherever that may be 😉
Obviously that's where everyone keeps their spare bits, right?
Seems logical to me!
Hysterical!
Winter blankets and show stuff live at home, as well as a bunch of Carlos stuff that I can't use for giant horse, but also can't stand to get rid of.
Hahahaha! Horse stuff doesn't find its way into my house too often, unless you're counting the selection of stuff in my tote bag. That's a bottomless pit.
I don't like leaving my tack down at the boarding place (tack room is an enclosed metal box = bake oven in the summer) so all of my horse stuff lives in my garage, and my saddles live in my bedroom…so there's a constant trail of horse items scattered throughout the house.
I have tons of my tack at home… I don't like leaving my dressage saddle out at the barn.
That is a hilarious text exchange! I'm lucky that my parents' barn has a ton of storage so I can keep extra horse stuff there. At home I only have a helmet + back brace + boots for riding client horses.
