Tack

This page is part of our tack collection. We have rebuilt the Horse Art catalog around in-depth buying guides, so the most useful place to land is the full tack guide below, where the advice and picks live.

You followed a link to an older Horse Art page. The catalog has been rebuilt around clear buying guides. Everything that used to live here now sits inside the tack guide.

What you will find in the tack guide

Tack is the gear that connects rider and horse: the saddle, bridle, bit, girth or cinch, and pads. English and Western tack differ in shape and tradition, but the rules that matter most are the same in both worlds: fit the horse first, buy quality leather you will maintain, and add specialty gear only once the basics fit.

Horse Art is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. We only point to gear we would put in our own barn.
