Location: Bastrop, Texas | I'm pretty sure I have at least 6 sets from Luann's, but over the past couple years I bought another brand that is just as good as Luann's, only each set is pretty unique. I wish I could remember the line, but the name escapes me. Their workmanship is every bit as good as Luann's. If someone named it, I would recognize the name. I have another 5-6 of those as well! Heaven help me if I develop a saddle fettish like my tack fettish. This is what happens when a man gets involved in a sport that is dominated by women!! Oh well....there are worse things, I guess. |

Pictures Doc, we need pictures!
Would I spend $700 on a tack set? Maybe. Maybe not, but I spent almost $300 on a Saddleright pad. If you'd have told me when I was 25 that I'd have to sell an old saddle to help pay for an almost $300 saddle pad I'd have called you a liar. But I did and I love it and I'll never have to buy another saddle pad again. To each his own. |

Location: Oklahoma | I probably would! I will first need a horse that is running so I'd have a way to display what I've bought.. .... so expensive tack is not happening anytime soon. I believe you get what you pay for. I'm the girl that carries LV purses, but can't stand paying very much for my clothes because I know I will either wear them out or hate them in a few months. There really is no rhyme or reason.
My husband and I don't have kids and both have full time jobs that provide a stable and predictable income. I think that would play a large role in someone's finances. |

Location: SoCal | Never paid a full $700, but I won a breastcollar and headstall, and still used a $100 certificate and paid at least $250 extra for all of it. I love my set though! Came with a wither band too! |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | I paid 550 for a set once. Beautiful set but the leather quality was less then desirable. Disappointing to say the least. Now I get sets from a friend of mine who makes me anything from full tack sets to wither straps, nosebands, plain head stalls, and anything else I want. |

Location: You never know where I will show up...... | I've bought myself several spendy tack sets over the years. I don't mind paying that much money if the quality is good and the ones I've bought have lasted for years.
I just spend some of my horses'winnings on saddles, nice tack and equipment to use on them. I don't buy fancy clothes, boots, belts, jewelry, ect. for myself but my horses are going to look good and have well fitted, quality gear.

Is that South Grove Tack? Sherri is from Hartford, SD and does really unique work.
I like to spend money on nice good quality tack. I see cheap crap that's all blinged out and it looks like cheap crap.....JMO A lot of people that complain about someone spending money on things like a $700 tack set also probably have a closet full of $100+ Miss Me jeans that they think nothing of buying. What's the difference? I personally am too hard on jeans and won't wear them plus they make my butt crack show. |
