When was the last time you organised your tack room and took stock of all your horse wear? From piles of rugs to boxes full of equipment you forgot you even had, a good sort out now will have you all set for winter.

Items you no longer need can be turned into cash when you create a free Tack Room Trading account and list your items to sell online. What’s more, by giving these items a new home you are making the choice to help create a more environmentally friendly equestrian community where tack and equipment gets put to good use.

Here are some tips to get you started:

  1. Take stock – get all of your items out of storage and lay them out (you may be shocked at how many things were tucked away!). Make a list of everything and decide if there is anything you no longer need so you can set it aside.
  2. Make space for all of the items you decide to keep – this may sound obvious but if you don’t know where to put something so it just gets shoved in a draw things soon get messy and become difficult to find or forgotten about.
  3. Label your storage – to save time and a lot of rummaging, make sure you label everything. It is a good idea to separate your equipment by season, for example fly rugs and lightweights can be stored in your summer box which is easily identified.
  4. Keep on top of your housekeeping – allocating five minutes each week to have a quick sweep up and wipe down will keep your tack room in good order and save you having to have a longer cleaning and another time.
  5. Get creative – if you have a small tack room or a lot of items to house make clever use of the space with various storage solutions. You can get inspiration online and homeware stores have lots of great options.
  6. Finishing touches – if your tack room need a lick of paint and some of your favourite horsey moments adding to the walls, you can find excellent value frames for your photos and choose a colour that suits your fixtures and fittings
