Western Horse Tack Horse Supplies

It is important to remember that any equipment when used on or around horses should be kept in a good condition and free from wear and tear. In particular, important items such as reins, girth, girth straps and stirrup leathers should be regularly checked to prevent wear and tear from going unnoticed and becoming dangerous. It is not only the stitching that needs to be monitored, any leather should be cleaned regularly and a suitable leather cleaner / saddle soap should be used to prevent cracks, weaknesses and tears. Whichever saddle you use, GP, western or synthetic, it should fit correctly and your bridle should sit comfortably and neither should rub in any place.

There are a wide range of safety accessories that can be utilised when hacking.

Boots and or bandages are the best ways of offering protection to the horses legs. There are many different types, fetlock boots; brushing boots; complete boots that offer protection to the tendons and fetlocks as well as wicking moisture away from the legs, preventing rubbing and over-reach boots. These can be made using many different materials, leather, neoprene, nylon and synthetic fabrics are all common.

When you know that the ground or footing in areas you will be hacking through are likely to be slippery, deep or icy, hoof boots with studs or having studs put into the horses shoes can assist in giving the horse a firmer footing, helping to prevent dangerous slipping and sliding. There are other techniques that can help to prevent the build up of snow in the horses hooves that can be discussed with your farrier if you find yourself having to ride in snowy conditions frequently.

A mobile phone is now an essential of everyday life for most people. For safety reasons this should also be taken with you when hacking out, especially if riding out alone. This is best carried in a secure pocket with the ringer off so as not to startle your horse should it go off. In the event of in emergency you can use your phone to call the vet, your yard or your home should you need it. Even the most isolated areas should allow you to use emergency numbers, preventing you from being stranded in the case of an emergency.

How Can This be Such Good Quality?

I am going to buy a jet black Quarter Horse from the nearby shelter. I am starting to find supplies and buy them from the local tack shop and online tack shops.
I was wondering is this good quality? I do mostly Western Pleasure, and Trail Riding. Although, I want to use this for Barrel Racing. I really want to know what people think about it because its cheap, but I can’t tell if its good quality or not.

http://www.saddleonline.com/p3660/Black-Synthetic-10-QH-Saddle-Tack/product_info.html

Can this work for barrels?

http://www.saddleonline.com/Western-Saddles-Barrel-Racing-Saddles/c2_29/p3418/Hand-Tooled-Western-Barrel-Racing-Saddle-W-Tack/product_info.html

Please, forget the other two links, is this a good saddle?

http://www.buytack.com/products/saddles/act/20532.htm

It looks nice and for $100 more it comes with girth, bridle and a breast collar.

I wouldn’t get that saddle. Largely due to the fact that it’s a 10 inch seat. It’s a child’s saddle (and a young child at that.) You will probably need a 14-inch seat or larger. Abetta makes some fairly good quality synthetic saddles, which run about twice that price, so you might want to look at those.
