' My (underfoot) Helpers'

I've been working on cleaning the tack room.  It's taken me longer than I expected, but I finally see the light at the end of a very messy tunnel. This weekend I am planning on cleaning tack which is the only thing I haven't gotten to yet. Here are some Before and After pictures which are documented proof that I actually do more at the farm than hang over the fence watching horse soap operas all day.

The door's always open, stop by some time for a visit!

A Little Organization

A Little Organization

We’re trying to organize the tack room and, once again, my daughter, being the genius she is, has come up with a brilliant idea.  We have a few too many saddle pads and needed a place to put them that was easily accessible. In order not to put wet, sweaty, hairy, stinky saddle pads in the trunks, they would usually wind up laying on top of a tack trunk or draping over a saddle.  Everything looked messy and unorganized until she found this rack online at Schneider Saddlery.  We hung it in an out-of-the-way unused area of the tack room. This rack lets the saddle pads dry and they are neat and ready to go when we’re ready for them. I like the fact that the arms swing to the left or right so the pads slide on or off with ease.  The arms are also removable, so it can be dismantled easily.  We bolted this one to the wall, but it is designed to also be portable and can be hung over a stall wall from the hooks included with it.  We have another for wet blankets that we can hang over the wall of the wash stall.  If you’re interested in purchasing one, visit www.sstack.com.

Until next time
