wooden tack trunks?! plus other questions?
im not getting a horse for at least another year, but when i get one, i will need a tack trunk! i am planning on getting a wooden one, but i have a few questions; are wooden ones better? what kind of wooden tack trunks do you like the best and why? whats all included when you get it? where can you buy it? links would be helpful too!
- what do you have in your tack trunk? (i know this will be hard to answer because there is so much stuff and you might not remember it all, you dont have to be overly specific, but if you want to, you can!)
- do you keep your blankets in there or do you have a seperate bin for them?
- what all should be in a tack trunk?
- about how big should your tack trunk be?
if you have any questions or anything, just ask and ill be happy to answer them!

I have 4 tack boxes just filled with all my stuff, and my saddle doesn't even fit in due to it, so you could call me a hoarder of horse stuff. I have some links, it all depends on how much stuff you have, like I have 5 or 6 saddles, 4 bridles and a lot of other stuff I haven't seen in years, but if you will only have you tack and some brushes and little stuff and smaller one would be perfect.
Back to the links
http://www.statelinetack.com/item/horsemens-pride-... (These are amazing, at the barn I ride there's a least 4 of them, and everything fits perfectly, its not to bad pricey wise, but still on the up side, it is plastic, but I've always had plastic)
http://www.doversaddlery.com/dover's-show-trunk---... (this is a wood one, but the wood tack boxes can get super pricey! as you can see)
http://www.doversaddlery.com/sportote--saddle-trun... ( this is another plastic one, and let me say WORTH THE MONEY! its easy to move, and has a place for everything, perfect of a neat and clean looking tack box, this one is on the bigger side, and has a white board so you can wright on it. My friend has one and writes up show dates and a wish list of things she wants to get)
You can always make it yourself, or have someone that's good at building things help you make it, one of the boarders at the barn I ride at had her husband make it to just her needs, and it was a wood, it was amazing, there was a place for everything, and opened at the sides to for extra storage. It is a lot cheaper to make it yourself and have a perfect tack box, but thats just my suggestions. I hope you found this helpful! :D

All my grooming stuff is in there and some basic care medicine. I have a separate bin for my blankets so I do not have to carry them every wear. It does not matter about size it depends on how much stuff you have. I have a medium sized one. I also like fabric totes for lessons and plastic ones that can be used as a step stool for shows. When I got mine i had nothing, but some did. Any tack and horse shops should have it. Try ebay if you can not find one

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.
