What's in Your Tack Trunk?

There was a bit of an unofficial blog hop going around about 'what's in your tack trunk' and I am obsessed with my trunk so I took my camera down to the barn to get some pictures to make a nice official blog about it. But it kind of devolved...

Bet you can't tell which stuff is mine.
Most people have their brand covers on their saddles. Or something in a nice, staid normal horse color. But apparently I want to be able to tell which are my saddles from the goddamn moon so that's that. In my defense, it exactly matches my boot and garment bag (.... wait).

Organized chaos
It doesn't get any better on the inside. Yes those are purple hidey boots, and purple vet wrap, and a purple grooming tote. Purple squirt bottle, even.

I have a tiny rubbermaid container that actually doesn't have any purple in it, however it does have a more precious commodity hidden inside it: SCISSORS.

Coveted scissors. Probably have to start locking my trunk now.
... yeaaaaah.


My grooming bag is massive and awesome and matches everything else. And you'll probably be shocked to learn i only have one purple brush. I've had that brush, no joke, for almost 20 years. That's dedication.

Noticing a trend?
Before I even bought Runkle I found a full set of patent leather jumping boots on Facebook for a song. Which I bought. They are not handling the pummeling they get very well (seriously, he doesn't have shoes, so what is he even doing) but I love them and they are beautiful and they actually do fit him really well and protect his legs. And my parents got me that Irish knit, I think I heard my mom sigh from 20 miles away when I told her it could come in purple.


I take leg protection very seriously.
Not as seriously as coordination.

So this entry started as a serious list of the things I have in my trunk. I'm well stocked and its organized and I have a pharmacy that would rival the vet's truck, but...

Yes, that's a purple air vest.
And yes, I had to call the UK Point 2 office to order it special because it's only available in England.
AND NO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

In my lesson last night I was told I had gone too far. You know what I have to say to that?


I DON'T THINK WE'VE GONE FAR ENOUGH.

  2. I think you might even have more purple stuff than I do. And that's saying a lot. Where's the pretty purple bridle in the collage from?

  5. When I put on my purple dressage pad, purple half pad, and purple quarter sheet with my purple gloves and happen to be wearing a purple shirt that day (not a rare occurrence) I do get a little bit ashamed of myself. Maybe some variety next time, Self? Some pink maybe?

    1. HAHA yeah what prompted the "youve gone to far" is because i have a BRIGHT purple fleece I wear almost every day and I get that it might be a little.... er, a lot. I try and only buy black/white/navy saddle pads to prevent a purple-out situation
