Equine Info Exchange - English & Western Tack

When selecting tack for your horse, it is important to consider the following factors:

  • Fit: The tack should fit your horse snugly but comfortably. It should not be too tight or too loose. A poorly fitting saddle can cause pain and discomfort for your horse, and it can also affect its performance.
  • Use: The tack should be appropriate for the type of riding that you will be doing. For example, if you are planning on doing jumping, you will need a different saddle than if you are planning on doing dressage.
  • Quality: The tack should be made of high-quality materials. This will ensure that it is durable and that it will last for many years.
  • Price: Tack can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. It is important to set a budget before you start shopping.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when selecting tack for your horse:

  • Saddle: The saddle is one of the most important pieces of tack, so it is important to choose one that fits your horse well and is appropriate for the type of riding that you will be doing.
  • Bridle: The bridle is used to control the horse, so it is important to choose one that is comfortable for your horse and that gives you good control.
  • Bit: The bit is used to communicate with the horse, so it is important to choose one that is the right size and type for your horse.
  • Girth: The girth holds the saddle in place, so it is important to choose one that fits your horse well and that is secure.
  • Saddle pad: The saddle pad helps to protect the horse's back from the saddle, so it is important to choose one that is the right size and thickness for your horse.

It is also a good idea to have an experienced equestrian professional help you to select tack for your horse. They can help you to choose the right tack for your horse's needs and for the type of riding that you will be doing.

By carefully considering all of the factors involved, you can choose tack that will fit your horse well, be durable, and be appropriate for the type of riding that you will be doing.
