Donating tack

[AutumnDays]

Does anyone know of anywhere who accept tack donations by post? I e been having a clear out, and tried various car boot sales/eBay to get rid of it, some has gone but not all. It's all nice stuff, not tatty, some pretty much new! Mainly bits, bridles/spares, girths, neck covers, rug, rope halters, that sort of thing. All clean, all in working order. I'll try asking local riding schools if any of it is any good to them, but if I have no luck there, I wonder if anyone knew of places that would be likely to take it? Thank you

I think some charities take it to then sell on at tack sales.

Bransby probably will as they take tack to sell in their shop.

World Horse Welfare, Glenda Spooner in Somerset have a fab secondhand tack shop, I have donated tack to them.

I take mine to World horse welfare.

Thanks guys. As long as it can be posted, I'm quite far from all of these to drop it in! I don't mind if they sell it for whatever they want, I just begrudged people wanting it for practically nothing, I'd rather give it to charity for them to use/sell than sell things for a quid for someone else to flip it elsewhere!

Either world horse welfare like others above has said or there is a company on Facebook called ‘ALS Equestrian Bargains’ who sells all these type of things so maybe a message or email to them would help? I’m sure they buy in joblots etc then sell on their website & Facebook. I’m sure they’d take things like this

or some tack shops have a 2nd hand section in? Maybe you could call some local tack shops they may take it if they have a 2nd hand section?

You could try your local RDA group. Ours received a very generous donation from an HHOer who was giving up horses. We were very grateful. Some of the tack has been worn by the RDA mounts and some sold to add to the funds to pay for keep etc.

My RDA takes tack too - some gets used for our horses and some gets sold. I think it's more common for bigger groups to do this.

The horse trust take in tack donations

Ours is only a small group but we still need funds.
