I would just like to see bronc halters permanently extinct! There is no better way to make a nice head look like a mule. Hate bronc halters. Ok, rant over now. lol

Location: NC | I love all of my beaded stuff. I had a full set made in honor of my Mom. It turned into an "in memory" in the process.
I have a bronc halter, over/under, spur straps and stirrup hobbles that are all beaded inlay with buckstitch. My friend made all of it and I LOVE her work. It's fantastic.
I am not a fan of the fringe. ESPECIALLY on a head stall or halter. Just NO. And the angora is hideous too. Can't stand it. Looks like one of those little ugly yappy dogs got glued onto a breast collar.
Here are some photos of my tack set.

Location: The best kept secret in TX | I don't like seeing all the fringe on all the tack... I like it when they are standing still or in a parade or something but...
How can I put this... The horses look so... weighted down... Does that make sense? LOL
For exmple... Baby Flo in this pic looks like there is so much weight everywhere with all of the mess going on... Just my opinion... (And no i'm not saying weighted down in reference to the riders weight so no flames, talking about tack lol)
Whereas Louie looks like he is breezing through the pattern and isn't hindered by Lisa's tack choice. BUT Her tack is still tasteful.
I guess I'm old fashioned too...
I know it has nothing to do with it but at the same time, I don't like seeing it in action. Just on the shelf or standing still

Now that is a classy looking tack set and I love that it is in memory of your mom. What a nice tribute that she can make a run with you every time.  |

| Longneck - 2015-03-17 9:01 AM I love that buck stitching is getting popular. I think it's a flashy, but subtle way to show color... especially when paired against dark tack.
I'm just really not into beading for my horses. I love it on hatbands and bracelets and what not, but not so much for my tack.
And... my current favorite trend... COPPER!! My new saddle has copper dots along the border, copper stirrups, conchos, buckles... etc.
Pictures? I want to order new conchos for my new to me saddle I just bought and I want to see what the copper ones look like on a saddle. Thanks! |

I believe they are polos.
Love the tack set as well. I do not think you can go wrong with a beaded set.
I also love that buckstitch is coming back, it is a timeless classic that I will probably continue to use even when it is not a "fad". |

I have a mongolian goat breast collar. I love it and don't care what people think. It is a little grungy right now as a horse need his little butt worked off one day and it was the breast collar I had on that saddle.... |

Location: Oklahoma | There is lots of stuff I like, but when it comes down to it I'm plain. Coming from a hunter/equitation background, the ONLY acceptable colors we were allowed were black, white, navy, hunter. I do have 2 Rodeo Drive Conchos but that's the extent of my rebelness. I have black stingray with antique conchos.

| I love that I'm seeing more dark brown/black saddles. Love the look of black tack. I don't go too crazy with colors, bling, fringe, etc. But I do love bright colored polos! |

Location: wherever my gypsy soul lands | I've never understood spending $500+ on a tack set! It's outrageous. I like good quality leather tack. I ride a lot of horses and want something that is going to stand up to the trials of time and young horses. I'd rather spend my money on my horse. Same with boots for my horses, the colors are great and all but give me black or white any day. |

Location: California | I got into the painted tack & had a set made. The skull concho got me hooked.
I think tack is just going to continue to stand out more & more. The wackier the better.

Location: Lost in the corn of Iowa. | Around here it seems to be
-feathers
-copper
-studs instead of bling
-exoctic leather inlays
-beaded tack
But I see the younger girls sporting the more colorful tack so far.
For me I don't like it over the top. Saddles I keep very basic because I don't have the resources to have multiples, so I go a little on the crazy side for stuff like headstalls, tie downs and breast collars.
Where I go really flamboyant (sp) are my polos. Those are cheap so why the heck not! LOL!!!

Location: Arkansas | I have had blingy (5J and Luann's) but I went classic this time. This was my birthday present from my parents. I've wanted a Billy Don Hogg set FOREVER. My breastcollar on my roping saddle is a Hogg that was my Dad's back in the 90s and it still looks good!

Location: NC | Thanks to everyone that complimented my set. My friend Jenn (Radical Expressions) makes beautiful tack and I can't stop hoarding everything she makes! Lol. I'm addicted to the beading. It's so pretty and classy yet you can make it very unique to suit any taste. And the buckstitch just makes it pop. I was surprised how white the white has managed to stay. I love it.
And yes, they're polos. With cheetah print duct tape. I now also have the Tin Haul Electric Kitty human boots to match!! |
