The Tack Room WWW.TACKTRUNKS.NET ! !! ! ! The Tack Room "A Horse! A Horse! my kingdom for a horse!" - Shakespeare Taking care of a horse begins with the housing of the horse. Stable needs are many but the basic stable should be a comfortable one for the horse and a convenient one for the horse owner. A horse lover will certainly look for the proper environment to house his horses. Horse stalls should be properly designed to house horses and the activities associated with hores management. A spacious one is welcome but one that is spacious may not turn out be a convenient one, unless it has the proper stable equipment. A modern horse stable is built with an eye to hold all necessary horse supplies and hardware in a convenient manner. Whether it is a personal stable or a commercial stable, the main aim is to provide proper stalls for horses, amenities and allocate places for storing the necessary materials. The ideal horse stall should provide enough space for each horse. It is imperative that it is annexed with a field for exercising the animals and training them, for show jumping or the race track. Housing and feeding should go with proper exercising. The basic necessity of a horse barn is the traditional horse tack trunk. These trunks are specific for each horse and they are mostly portable. A stable without the needed tack trunks may find it hard to take proper care of the horses. Tack trunks and tote boxes store papers, drapery, medicines, saddles, bits, grooming brushes and other hardware related to horse care. They are kept safe and ready for use. The medicines should be kept away from the horses but should remain handy as well. The tack rooms should have whip holders for hanging whips and crops. Feed cards are a place to record the horse’s feed-schedule for the ranch hand. Many stables also have breed details and other information like the name of the owner on their stable boards. Tacktrunks provides quality designer products aimed at every need of a horse stable. They have designer tack trunks in wood or vinyl for choice. The shining stainless steel top along with the trimmings and monograms in brass or chrome, make them very beautiful. The use of such designer boxes and boards increases not just the looks of the horse stable but also helps the organization of the stable. Tacktrunks also provides proper tack trunk stands for all their trunks to keep them at a raised level, away from the floor. We also provide dollies for easy portability. These stands help the looks of the trunks and also make cleaning the stable easy. The racks, benches and mounting blocks make maintenance easy. Tack trunk owners are people who know horses and stables cannot survive without a tack room. WWW.TACKTRUNKS.NET Examples of Tack Rooms WWW.TACKTRUNKS.NET.

  • Equestrian Studies Western Equipment List
    Equestrian Studies Western Equipment List Equestrian students are required to own and maintain the following equipment for their personal use in riding classes. Our faculty recognizes this list, though extensive, is not a complete list of equipment needed by professionals in our industry and is intended to accommodate the basic needs of students at the beginning of their careers. Substitution of some items is possible; however, the specific equipment listed below is recommended. During our first week of the academic year the incoming class tours local vendors for the purpose of acquiring supplies and equipment. Many students choose to leave the bulk of their personal gear at home and acquire a set of school equipment during the shopping days. Local vendors typically give discounts to RMC students on the items they purchase during the tours. If students have any questions, we recommend waiting until the faculty can assist in the purchasing process. We have strong opinions about what works best in our program and can best guide our students toward appropriate choices after the school year is underway. All personal gear should be clearly and indisputably labeled. Brass tags or plates riveted to leather tack are recommended. More economical “dog tags” can be purchased at a local PetSmart and work well to identify the owner. Additionally, black permanent markers can provide effective labeling of various items. Students may choose to color coordinate their gear using patterned duct tape or spray paint to create a distinctive “brand” on their equipment. Rider apparel Students need to manage their personal attire with a balance of professionalism in concert with practicality for weather conditions and budget.

  • Read Book Through England on a Side-Saddle Ebook, Epub
    THROUGH ENGLAND ON A SIDE-SADDLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Celia Fiennes | 96 pages | 02 Apr 2009 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141191072 | English | London, United Kingdom Sidesaddle - Wikipedia Ninth century depictions show a small footrest, or planchette added to the pillion. In Europe , the sidesaddle developed in part because of cultural norms which considered it unbecoming for a woman to straddle a horse while riding. This was initially conceived as a way to protect the hymen of aristocratic girls, and thus the appearance of their being virgins. However, women did ride horses and needed to be able to control their own horses, so there was a need for a saddle designed to allow control of the horse and modesty for the rider. The earliest functional "sidesaddle" was credited to Anne of Bohemia — The design made it difficult for a woman to both stay on and use the reins to control the horse, so the animal was usually led by another rider, sitting astride. The insecure design of the early sidesaddle also contributed to the popularity of the Palfrey , a smaller horse with smooth ambling gaits, as a suitable mount for women. A more practical design, developed in the 16th century, has been attributed to Catherine de' Medici. In her design, the rider sat facing forward, hooking her right leg around the pommel of the saddle with a horn added to the near side of the saddle to secure the rider's right knee. The footrest was replaced with a "slipper stirrup ", a leather-covered stirrup iron into which the rider's left foot was placed.

  • Cavalry Equipment of the Roman Army in the First Century A.D
    Originally published in Coulston, J.C. (ed.) 1988: Military Equipment and the Identity of Roman Soldiers. Proceedings of the Fourth Roman Military Equipment Conference, BAR International Series 394, Oxford CAVALRY EQUIPMENT OF THE ROMAN ARMY IN THE FIRST CENTURY A.D. M.C. Bishop INTRODUCTION The main aim of this paper is to identify and describe the elements that went together to make up Roman military horse (or riding) harness in the first century A.D.1 Closely linked with this, however, will be a consideration of just how much the archaeological evidence can tell us about the military use of mounts.2 It is to be hoped that the present work will at least serve to generate new interest in cavalry equipment and provoke discussion about the functions of its various components. There are two main source areas for the study of Roman military horse equipment: monuments depicting its use and artefacts recovered from the archaeological record. Pictorial evidence, most notably that represented by sculpture, can be used to show how the various elements of horse harness functioned as a whole. The value of such depictions is hotly debated, but it is generally true that funerary monuments tend to give a more accurate picture than official sculpture, although both categories vary widely in quality.3 Two types of tombstone, the 'Reiter' and the 'Totenmahl' are characteristic of the first century A.D. (although not exclusively so):4 these show, in the first instance, the deceased cavalryman riding his mount in combat, often with a cowering barbarian being trampled beneath the horse;5 the other type depicts the dead man enjoying a funerary banquet in the afterlife in an upper scene, whilst his horse is paraded in all its equipment in a lower.6 Totenmahl depictions usually show the horse being controlled from behind by means of long-reins and with its saddle covered by an overblanket, whilst the trooper's calo carries spare spears (javelins?).

Check saddlery and equipment, and the horse, after the specified number of rides. Inform judges of any delays or other concerns. Radio for help for ring repairs or emergencies, as directed according to the Accident Preparedness Plan. Depending on the layout, number of rings and other factors, more than one ring steward may be appointed to share these duties. 2 SaddlerySaddlery InspectionsInspections Ring stewards must check saddlery and inspect bits and spurs on both sides of the horse for at least one- third of the horses in each class. In some classes, inspection is required for each horse. Inspection of saddlery and bits should be done at the direction of the Technical Delegate. 3 SaddlerySaddlery InspectionsInspections Management must provide (preferably latex free) disposable protective gloves, at least one per horse. (While one glove is required for USEF competitions, two are required for FEI competitions – and two are recommended for USEF competitions.) The rider should see the inspector put on a fresh glove. Inspection is done immediately after the performance ride. At no time should the horse, spurs or other equipment be touched with an “ungloved” hand, as the glove provides protection against the spread of disease.
