Location: Montana | Yep, my tack room is in my trailer too...that way it is always there ready, if I'm going somewhere. And it's lockable if I need to lock it. But no pics, I never thought to take one. Plus it's below zero out here, lol. |

Location: Kansas | Ours is about 12 by 12 built inside our barn. It serves mostly as a feed storage room (not hay) and barn cat condo as the saddles stay in the horse trailer. Bridle hooks on the walls and a couple of saddle racks. No big deal. Just keep it simple. It has a concrete floor which would be nice except that the dirt alleyway keeps you dragging a lot of debris in. |

Location: SW North Dakota | My tack room is 12x24, insulated and heated. It could be twice as big and we might still be cramped! I have a 12' ceiling, so I'd like to add more overhead shelving. Overall, I love it, but I could REALLY use some organizational suggestions, especially for seasonal items like sheets & blankets. I have a very sturdy shelf that is 8' high, and this would be quite a bit more useful if I had a better way to access it. |

I have shelves in my tack room that I use a step stool to place/reach things. The top shelves work for blankets since they are lighter to place on the higher shelves. Buckets, bale bags and wraps in containers stacked on shelves. No windows as i could use the space! |

Location: Phoenix | Tack room where I keep my horse is at least 16x16. The left wall is 3 shelves along the entire length; at least 2 feet high This is where boarders keep their horse supplies but there's a TON of space for your stuff. We get storage bins and put them on the ground below which is even more storage. On the back wall and right wall are 3 tiered saddle racks with birdie racks in between. The wall with the door has a fridge to the right and to the left of the door is more bridle racks. |

| Sorry, can't post pictures, never have figured that out.
I did my tack room to be a nice hang out space. Room is 12x14, one wall is upper and lower cabinets with a sink; opposite wall is a 4' deep x12' long closet with a 5' opening with bifold doors, I have my saddle racks in there, along with a bridle rack, boots and tack trunks, this because I have a pet port for the barn cats to use the tack room, keeps them off the saddles. Saddle racks and bridles are easy to reach tack trunks against the walls not so much but I hardly ever use them anyway. I like having them a closet that I can shut doors because I have a pet door that lets the barn cats in the tack room, there is a mini split in the tack room for air conditioning and heat; this keeps the cats off the saddles. I store polo wraps, storage containers with bits, etc. in the lower cabinets. Upper cabinets I use for medications, first aid stuff. I like to keep spurs on some nice bracelet display's on the counter.

Location: Lone Star State | My "tack room" is in my husband's metal building, aka his man cave. I get one fourth of the place for my ag stuff. I have a 6' tall cabinet on one wall for the meds and small items. But this picture shows one wall of my tack. I'm loving peg boards! I painted one solid and the other brown one I am going to paint my brand on in the center. Still a work in progress, but peg boards are handy!

Location: Southern Alabama | My tack room isn't very big.... probably, rough guesstimate here... about 8x10.... has all of my stuff in it, along with hay, since I only feed bales. I am really looking for organizational tips, I guess you can say. How do you keep things neat and tidy and easy to get too, all at the same time? I don't want to just put my stuff in totes and pile them on top of one another... if you get my drift, here. I have tons of polo wraps and I cannot stand them to be dirty, dusty, or laying around. Currently, they are in a tote... which I hate. |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | My tack room is inside our garage. No pics. I have two saddle racks stacked 3 high that are bolted to the ground. TO the right of that I have wooden dowel rods that I hang winter blankets on. I have to the left of the saddle racks a bucket with brushes and a smaller bucket inside that with my liquids that won't freeze and my emergency kit.
Inside the house I keep a yellow tool box (So I can see it really well when I lose I mean misplace it.) that I keep veterinary supplies like needles, injectable vitamins, wound care, gauze, cotton wrap, the whole nine yards. I also keep any fly or freezable spray inside in a tote.
I keep my bits inside so they aren't cold or hot before I put them on. I usually don't ride in the winter but when I need to saddle up my mare to check on things around our farm at least her bit won't be cold.  |

Location: West Texas | It is plum full of stuff now and there is a pad bar on the wall behind. Very functional and easy to use wall hanging equipment.

Location: Frozen Tundra, WI | I don't have ALL my stuff in this but my dad built me this awesome "cabinet" for me 20 years ago. It's small but since most of my things stay in the trailer, it works. There is space for a second saddle rack below but took it out for more storage. |
