About The Saddle & Tack
Tacking up a horse is a ritual as tactile as it is purposeful, the cool weight of a leather saddle lifted onto a warm back, the soft jingle of the bridle, the precise buckle of every strap. Good tack is fitted carefully: a well-placed girth, a correctly adjusted stirrup, a noseband sitting just below the cheekbone. Generations of riders have learned the names of every piece by hand and feel, long before they learned them from a book.
