A dear reader asked if I would make a general call out to the readership asking for Draft tack leads. I have talked about tack on this blog several times, always citing that the hardest part about eventing a draft is finding high-quality, performance oriented tack to fit.
As for me, some of my stuff is custom made (saddles/breast plate), some is draft-sized (bits/reins) and some is warmblood-sized (bridles/saddle pads). The hoof boot debacle I have discussed ad naseum, and I don't use leg boots (yet).
I usually don't promote specific products/merchants here, since every horse and rider situation is different and what works for me doesn't always work for others. However, we have about 100 readers of this blog, all interested in drafts, I would assume, and obviously all brilliant for finding this blog interesting. So please comment and post with your draft-sized tack recommendations!
Specifically, I have readers interested in the following items:
- Pull on bell boots
- Fly Sheets
- Jumping Bridles (plain caveson)
- Overreach boots (heck, any brushing, jumping, etc boot)
- Saddle Pads (every day cotton variety)
- Nylon BreakAway Halters
- Nylon Padded Halters
I allow anonymous comments on this blog, so if you have any info about where to buy these items for a full draft, or are looking for other items yourself, please post! If we get a lot of good info, I will make this post a permament link for all visitors to the blog to review.
