Spring is here! Are you ready for that first
spring ride?
Start by taking out your leather horse tack and
do a "spring check" on all your equipment. The "spring
check" includes cleaning, oiling, and conditioning your leather horse
tack. This is vital to ensure your first spring ride is safe and enjoyable for
both you and your horse.

Spurs can be traced
back to the Roman Legions of Julius Caesar . The Romans developed the spurs in
order to have a way to steer their horses with their legs, while leaving their
hands free to fight. These early spurs had a single sharp protrusion. The
revolving rowel, used in western spurs today, probably originated in France.
During the age of chivalry, spurs became a mark of rank. Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11346885555661743353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984153976321696090.post-75120629212011789732018-01-17T09:14:00.004-08:002018-01-17T09:19:05.732-08:00THE BREAST COLLAR

Evidence exists that the predecessor to the modern saddle was in
use by the Assyrians in 700-800 BCE. It consisted of a simple cloth fastened
onto the horse with a surcingle. These early saddles had neither a solid tree
nor stirrups. By 300 BC, the Samaritans added a breastplate and girth to keep
the saddle on.
The development of the solid saddle tree was significant; it

The cinch (girth) has been in use for nearly 3000 years.
The cinch made an appearance around 700 B.C. in the Middle East when Assyrian
warriors added straps to their decorative saddle cloths.
In western riding, the girth is referred to as a cinch. The cinch is a piece of
horse tack used to keep the western saddle in place on the horse. The purpose

The Problem
Winter weather is no friend to leather, especially
polluted rainwater. Microscopically, leather is made up of collagen fibers.
During tanning, hides are soaked in chemicals to prevent its fibers and their bonds
from decomposing. Natural fats and oils are tumbled with the hides to keep the
protein bonds from drying out and to make the leather supple.

The Four Key Points to Look for When Purchasing Leather
Horse Tack
1. Start with the feel of the leather: Is the leather soft
and supple? You want to avoid purchasing tack that feels dry because the
quality will be subpar. If you bend the leather and you see it starting to
crack it is useless and may become very dangerous when riding. It should be
bendable, soft and not stiff.
