My tack box is a bottomless hole! I’ve been showing for years, and never found the time to clean it out. Here’s what I found: a green apple with a hoof pick stuck through the middle, 4 pencils, a dusting of dog treats stuck in a spilled bottle of shampoo, a mane comb, 2 unmatching gloves, and a horse shoe! I remember that when I was little(er) my riding instructor gave me that shoe for good luck at my first show! Now I’m riding the same horse as I did in that show, but he is mine now!

A mane clipping, from each and every horse I’ve ever had, (good ones, and not so good ones) Its fun to go back through them and relive a little bit of each horse in my past.

One time i found a fuzzy sock at the bottom of my tack box. But i alway seem to find coins, pessos, and the occasional dollar coin. other than loose change i also find old pop tarts and hair bands.

At the bottom of my tack trunk I have a few water bottles that I didn’t feel like throwing away.

An assortment of essentials! Hot cocoa packets, Cup Noodles, hand warmers, sponges, bits, hairnets, and brushes… just to name a few.

Dust, dust, dust and more dust! I try to keep my tack trunk pretty organized so I know where everything is.

I really try to keep my show trunk clean- you know how things can get pricey and I don’t want my nice Beval wood trunk getting messed up. But my old barn one is a tank- thick wood and at least forty years old- it was my mom’s. In there there are loose molasses squares, bits, horse brushes covered in bay hair,leather care, and tack-to be repaired. (Yeah, I’m going to get to that broken bridle snap in the next five years or so =) ) I love that trunk and sometimes I think that old quality woodwork is nicer than the modern ones!
