Tack Cleaning

[SillySausage]

Just out of interest really as I have just come inside from cleaning all of my tack and my Mum thinks I always spend forever doing it as I'm a perfectionist!

 

[SillySausage]

Ok I will start...

I love tack cleaning

and I'm a perfectionist!

 

[martlin]

I don't mind, find it quite therapeutic actually, but I'm not a perfectionist...

No
No
I'm Lazy!

All synthetic tack (because I am lazy). Warm water, detergent and a hosepipe on a sunny day. Sorted.

 

[samstar]

NO
NO
I'M LAZY

When I'm in the mood to do it I find it quite relaxing

- and am always appalled at how dirty it is

and promise myself to do it more often

......and I tend to go mad and do all of it - then get bored

- so no not a perfectionist but it is all clean.....

When I tack clean everyone at my yard thinks pigs are going to fly!!! But I spent 200 on a new bridle and that gets cleaned lots!!!!

I like tack cleaning- can be a perfectionist to OCD standards, can be a slob depending on mood

 

[Lobelia_Overhill]

Yes and Yes!

 

[L00bey]

No
but yes, polished studs, shiny leather.
and lazy

I'm the same. When I clean i'm obsessive and I'm always mortified at how black the sponge quickly becomes and always promise to do it more often....but always find something else to do, like riding

Q: why is my saddle always smeary when I clean it?

? Is it too much soap, not enough soap or am I not getting all the muck off???

Can spend 2 hours on it sometimes but I'm never completely happy with it. Ideas please peeps

Once I start I quite like it, and I am a perfectionist

It costs a lot of money so I look after it. My pet hate is seeing bits with yesterdays hard cruddy grass on it.

Uncared for tack is uncomfortable for the horse and wears out faster.

I really enjoy cleaning it - several times a year I get all my unused stuff and clean/oil and soap it.

Took some to Pony Club for kids to see - all the unusual stuff and they kept exclaiming how soft and clean it was.

People think I'm mad as I wipe it over after every use and take it apart once a week and give good clean..... and saddle cloths, well they get used no more than three times before being washed!!!!

 

[HayleyandBob]

Enjoy it once i get started
