Owning a horse doesn't mean that you need a lot of stuff. American Indians of the Great Plains could ride across their domain with a single cord tied around their horse's jaw. Most equestrians, however, have a lot of necessities and accessories. It's hard enough to stay organized at home, but when you travel, it's very nice to have a tack trunk.
Of course, there are many options in storage containers. There are basic, utilitarian ones roomy enough to hold 'tack' - bridle and saddle - as well as grooming equipment, medical supplies, protective and therapeutic bandages, and anything else horse and rider need either at home or on the road. There are also high-end ones, luxury ones, custom-designed ones, and heirloom-quality ones.
But if you long for more than the basics, forego UV resistant polyethylene (guaranteed for years of use) and check out the mahogany or dark cherry beauties that craftsmen turn out made to order. By-pass five colors of plastic for hand-rubbed wood stain or high-gloss lacquer finish in any color you can imagine. Sturdy clips and padlock loops are fine, but solid brass fittings are gorgeous. There are even luxurious covers and sturdy stands to hold your finished creation off the dirt and, worse, mud and keep dust and scratches at bay.
Trunks come in different dimensions, all giving enough room for things horse and owner need at home or on the road. Vinyl or polyethylene are lightweight while being strong, while wooden ones can be designed to your exact specifications if you can't find a standard size to suit you.
No matter that your final choice might be dictated by budget restraints or your practical, puritan nature. Go online and check out what the market offers - or custom designers can do - and dream big. Virtual window shopping doesn't cost any more than the real thing. Photo galleries can broaden your vision and show you just what you can get in this maybe once in a lifetime investment.
Trays that fit under the lid, with the bulk of the storage space below, double as totes and keep small items or the ones that you use all the time within reach. The lids themselves are useful, whether slotted to hold bandages, fitted with a mirror so you can check your appearance, or equipped with a dry erase board for noting important phone numbers or times for up-coming events.
It's nice to have a capacious, secure storage bin at home, but it's almost essential on the road. It's really distressing to find that you've left an essential piece of gear behind. It's embarrassing, as well, to have to borrow or cancel and forfeit all your hard work, not to mention your entry fees.
The right tack trunk will make life easier, can be a fashion statement or status symbol, and can advertise your stable with custom logos or even fine artwork. Just make sure to get the size right for your purposes and then decide what will suit you best.
