Our Hottest Tack Of The Year (So Far)

We are galloping closer to the end of this year, but we’re not done saddling up for riding adventures. One thing we still have left to do? Gather all of our riders’ favorite tack from this year. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane to find out which stirrup irons, hackamores, saddle pads, and more won your hearts in the first half of 2024.

#1 Flex-On Hunter H Stirrup Irons

Our top choice for stirrup irons were the Flex-On Hunter H Stirrup Irons. Their lightweight and classic design is the perfect innovation for the hunter ring. Hunter and Equitation riders will never want to ride in anything else. It also has the shock-absorbing elements you know and love from Flex-On.

#2 Waldhausen X-Line Hackamore 

The Waldhausen X-Line Hackamore was our most popular bridle this year! The X-Line bridles are well-known and loved for their soft leather and beautiful design. It features an anatomically shaped headpiece and curved browband that offer a perfect fit. It comes with stainless steel fittings an is available in brown and black to coordinate seamlessly with your favorite saddle.

#3 Freejump ProGrip Stirrup Leathers

With their single strap and extra wide design, Freejump ProGrip Stirrup Leathers were a great choice for their unbeatable riding comfort and twist-free guarantee. The upper part enables an even more precise adjustment of the length than conventional stirrup leathers, making this a super comfortable choice. The grip pad allows the stirrup leather to tightly grip onto the saddle, meaning that the leg is steady. This is a great choice for riders at every level.

#4 ThinLine Trifecta Comfort Bareback Saddle Pad

We totally agree with the choice our riders made to put the tremendously comfortable ThinLine Trifecta Comfort Bareback Saddle Pad at the top of their list this year. It offers a cotton-based, breathable design and motion absorption which encourages horses to lift their backs. This is a great choice for riders looking for balance, comfort, and security. It also assists in sitting correctly and enhances your communication with your horse. 

#5 Custom Made Tear Drop Dee Ring Snaffle

Our most popular choice in bits this year was our Custom Tear Drop Dee Ring Snaffle. Modeled after the Peter Pletcher bit, this beauty is sure to be an instant favorite. It’s a traditional hunter D ring snaffle with a copper teardrop shape on the bars and a loose stainless steel link in the center, made with high-quality craftsmanship. It’s ergonomically designed for the horse’s mouth, super lightweight, and sure to be a favorite for years to come. 

#6 Prestige 3A152 RP Dressage Girth

For girths, our riders loved the Prestige 3A152 RP Dressage Girth. It’s designed to add more stability with movement and reduce pressure on the sternum. This modified dressage girth that slides inside an innovative, resistant round-shaped panel. This allows the pressure to be evenly distributed over a larger surface and loops for a great fit.

#7 Arma Over Reach Bell Boots

The most popular bell boots this year were the Arma Over Reach Bell Boots. They are made with a durable rubber that helps protect the hoofs of your horse. These are a great to choice to deflect scuffs and protect against blows to the hoof area.

#8 eQuick eVysor

For protective horse gear, our top-seller was the eQuick eVysor. We love this new tech to provide superior UV protection from bright sun, eye sensitivity and discomfort, and eye injury from dust, debris/ branches and wind while riding. We’ve seen for ourselves what a big difference this gear makes for riders in every discipline, but especially jumpers.
