Im currently sorting through all my horsey stuff as with holidays etc coming up I want to save somemoney and pay off credit cards!! Going through all my stuff and I just have so much!!!
I have one riding horse and one retired horse, endless amounts of stuff that is never used.I keep my horses where I work so 9 timesout of 10 I can try a piece of equipment before i commit to buying it and my stuff just gets left to rot!! Excuse the big long post and may be boring for some but what would you have for 2 horses (or any) You may help me with the big kick up the arse I need to get ebaying!!

As an example I have 5 saddles and 6 riding hats :p
 
I think the rule is if you havnt used it in last 12 months-it is not needed nor will be again.
I saw this on a house de-cluttering programme once.
 
There isn't a definitive list tho. If you only hack & never want to do more, 1 saddle & bridle is enough. Whereas if you event, you'll need more. Likewise if you have an older horse a vast bit selection isn't needed, but could be handy for a youngster. Same with rugs,a clipped tb in full work is going to need more than a shetland that lives out 24/7, etc.
