Just because you own a horse doesn't mean you need a tack trunk. You may not travel with your horse to events or have more than a simple grooming kit in a plastic tote. You may not be into conspicuous consumption. But if you do or if you are, designer shoes have nothing on the appeal of a high-end storage bin for horse gear.
It's good that there are many options in these capacious and useful storage bins. There are all sorts of horse owners, levels of competition, and tastes in accessories, after all. All of the ones on the market, whether mass produced in durable plastic or one of a kind handiwork of a craftsman, are roomy enough for the 'tack' - saddle and bridle - and grooming tools, medical supplies, and other gear.
Materials range from UV resistant polyethylene to real, solid mahogany or cherry. Finishes can be your choice of colors in durable plastic, rich wood-tone stain, bright paint, or glossy lacquer. Options include stainless steel lids, brass or brass plated tags and hardware, inset locks, and casters or wheels. There are also sturdy racks that lift the bin off the ground, making it easier to clean aisles and keeping the bottom from becoming wet or marred.
There are choices in size, as well, but remember that any storage you choose for travel needs to be both roomy and portable. The vinyl or plastic ones are usually the lightest in weight with no loss of capacity. Wooden ones come in various sizes or can be hand-made to your exact specifications by cabinetmakers.
Virtual window shopping is fun. Although you might need to be practical and frugal when it comes time to actually make a purchase, there's no reason not to see everything on the market. There are online photo galleries that show details of basic and high-end designs. If you're thinking of a customized product, you can get great ideas off the sites online.
Trunks are fun to look at - often beautifully detailed and always cleverly designed. Lids stay open when needed, are sturdy enough to sit on while you pull on your boots, close firmly to keep out dust and moisture, and lock when necessary. They can be slotted to hold bandages or might have a shatter-resistant mirror or a dry-erase board to organize yourself, your belongings, and your events. In-set trays serve as totes and keep those easily lost small items ready to hand.
Trunks at home keep tackrooms neat and aisles uncluttered. However, it's on the road that they really shine. They mean that you can check things off as you pack to make sure you don't get where you're going without your girth or your bridle. That is so embarrassing, when you have to cancel or borrow what you need!
A tack trunk can be a necessity, an advertisement for your stable, a decoration, and a status symbol. Make sure you stay practical long enough to get the size right and then - the sky's the limit!
