what do you do with your tack.while travelling?

[asommerville]

in the process of trailer hunting, we're going for the new Ifor williams, talking about it last night and i said the tack.would need to go in the car...cue a horrified boyfriend - no way says he aaargh! so rather than shell out £200+ on a tack box is there anything else we can do? honestly boys are daft!!

My trailer has a tack locker, so mostly in there. Some bits might go in the car. Whats wrong with tack in the car? Put it in tack bags if it keeps him happy

You can have it on a trolley, and tie the trolley in front of the horses.

he says my stinky horse tack is NOT allowed in his car (cheek his car has been know to smell of cow poo!)

Mine just goes on the boot when we travel (in my rather scruffy 4x4). My OH is the same though about his precious car, if I take his car to buy a bag of feed I have to put a sheet down in the boot and then drive home with the windows open after I've dropped it off at the yard to get rid of the smell! And he's a farmers son!!!

 

[asommerville]

i said id put a sheet.down - still no! he's a blooming farmer lol

Leave it on the horse I travel tacked up in the lorry (reins twisted through throatlash and our lorry is super basic so nothing to really get caught on)

How many horses are you trailering?

If its just one and you leave the partition in, you can use bungee cord to secure a box/trunk thingie on the spare side.

We use a stable mate in the back of 4x4. Could you invest in a can of Febreze if he really objects to smell?

go for a dreaded equitrek which has the basic section at front - I love mine and permanently living in there is .... travel rug, lightweight rug with neck, 3 numnahs, 3 bits, headcollar, 3 coats, gillet, brushing boots, spare clothes etc. Ironically when I travel, saddle and bridle go on back seat (car is cleaned each week)but you could put them in front section. There is also a tack locker which houses my grooming kit, water, bucket, fire extinguisher and dustpan and brush for picking poo out of trailer !
