Anyone have any good storage ideas for my newly acquired ton of matching pads and bandages!

Can't bear the thought of them getting dirty on a saddle rack!
 
I came up with a solution for my bandages yesterday. They are now neatly stored in a shallow plastic box with a lid. It's wide enough to fit 4 bandages across it. Can get piccys after if it would be helpful?

My saddle cloths are all stored in a huge wooden trunk but its not ideal really.
 
My saddle cloths are in this -

And this is what my bandages are in (each box can hold 7 sets of bandages) -

3Beasties, you are SO organised! Very jealous!

My matchy stuff is currently in my parents' garage as I don't have room for it at the yard - now I no longer have the Warmblood/big Irish horse I would feel a little silly using matchy on a scruffy little bog pony (gorgeous though he is!) - I think the 'real' dressage types will just think I'm a wannabe :(. I should get over myself though really and use it just because I have it and I want to!

The saddlecloths I do have the yard I store on a 'ladder' type thing I made out of broom handles and some bailing twine... Some rails are storage for numnahs and some are for drying fleeces, exercise sheets etc. Not very glamorous but very practical!

I had something like that - and a family of mice moved in!!!!!!

Reverted to boxes with serious lids.

The floor on my tack room is not completely sealed so I get visitors from the outside world moving in - slugs, snails and spiders! Mouse got into the pony club feed samples and ate many of the Linseed bags - he must be the fatist, fleetest, shiniest mouse now.

Completing the flooring is on this Autumns To Do list.

3Beasties - you have too many bandages - please send me the blue ones on the furthest left - THAT is my favourite colour. Where did you get them. Love your saddle blanket box

They're from Amazon, search USG petrol and they should come up. The set cost me £20 including postage :D
