Will the recession curtail your showing activities this year?

	No - I will go to all the shows as before
	I will have to cut one or two
	I will have to pick the shows I attend very carefully
	I will not be able to travel far
	I do not show much anyway

The reliability of all horse tack depends on proper maintenance and care. Sweat, Dust and Neglect is your Tack’s worst enemy!

Here is a checklist of what to look for in getting your equipment ready to use.

Check for any holes that are stretched or worn to a point that they could rip.

Check around the rigging plate and check the leather for dryness and cracking.

Check your latigo and off billets for wear, cracking and drying.

Check stirrup leathers and fenders. These are another essential part of your saddle. Check Blevins buckles and holes of stirrup leathers for cracking, drying and stretched-out holes.

Check all of the leather on the bridles or head stalls for cracking or worn-out holes on both the front and back. Read more...

The importance of using quality saddle blankets is a “given” among knowledgeable horsemen. Today there are many good blankets and pads made of different materials available at varying cost but the wool blanket is far and away still the favorite of most professionals and recreationists. As with anything worth using, a good wool blanket is seldom inexpensive, and should be an investment. With proper care, a wool blanket will last for many years, even if used for many hours every day. Here are a few tips to help you prolong the use of your blanket.

Beat and brush the blanket: Every few days, simply slap the blanket against a door, pipe, fence, etc. Then use a soft to medium stiff horse brush (not a metal curry comb), and brush the hair and dander from the blanket. This won’t take more than 5 minutes of your time.
