One Tidy Tack Box

The deep freeze is over ! The deep freeze is over! And this can only mean one thing... Our "spring training" is coming and then...SHOW SEASON! You know... when you pack up just about everything and travel all over the place, all the while trying to keep track of all the little pieces among everyone ELSE'S little pieces.

So... what would make YOUR life on the road easier? What would help keep your tack box the tidiest?

Here in Central Ontario, we've had the first hint of what's coming...winter. And although tomorrow is supposed to be warm, the frost on the ground this weekend tells me that summer is most definitely gone.
One of the things I dislike the most about the cold weather is having to take my hand out of a nice warm mitten only to wrap it around my mare's cold metal bit. Better my hand than her mouth, sure... But ouch!

Available now in your choice of colour, the Bit Warmer takes some of the ouch out of those brisk winter rides. It accommodates those shake-to-activate hand warmers in each of the pockets which, after warming up the bit, can be slipped into your gloves!

$7.00 each, plus $2.00 postage anywhere in Canada.

Did you know that there is a safer, easier way to wash bandages and polo wraps? A way that doesn't leave them in a tangled mess, firmly attached to the agitator of the washing machine?

Available at most retailers and even dollar stores, you can get zippered mesh bags. Intended for washing thinks like bras and nylons, these make GREAT wash bags for polos! Use one per icky-dirty-do-I HAVE-to-touch-this wrap, and you'll be saved the task of spending precious riding time undoing the Great Tangled Knot!

It's hard to believe, but summer is almost over and it's back to school... And schooling! Keep your tack area neat and tidy... It makes finding what you need faster and easier, and that translates into more saddle time!

Hmm... Saddles. It's one of the most important and expensive pieces of tack we invest in. Help protect it from stirrup rubs with a set of custom made stirrup cozies, and from dust and dirt with a matching (and fleece-lined) saddle cover!

Congrats go out to Ellyse Goodfellow, who is the winner of the latest giveaway of a custom polo bag!

Thanks SO MUCH to Amanda Brown at Hawk Vinyl Design for showing me how to let you all tag! So... tag away and good luck on the draw!

I'm new at the whole photo-tagging thing, so if you CAN'T tag yourself, please leave a comment on the "draw photo" so I can enter your name (until my old brain figures it out!)

I promised a draw, and though I'm a little late in getting it up, I hope you all will have fun with it!

Tag yourself in the photo for a chance to win a zippered polo bag in your favourite colour!

The photo, by the way, is of our mare, who has more accessories than some humans I know, and for whom the very first polo bag was made!

The draw will take place on June 21st... The first day of summer!

Today's new fabric!

Congratulations go to James Pole, OTTB's 100th "like"! A limited edition Snap Sac will be coming your way!

And then there were two... Left to go until 100!
