If your horse says no, you either asked the wrong question, or asked the question wrong. ~Pat Parelli

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...

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.
