Tack Box

I love this! Will the slide rails on the saddle racks support a western saddle?

-- Terri, Rocky Mountain High Colorado!

You must love your daughter a lot. That’s the best tack box I’ve ever seen.

@Terri – yes. I’m not sure what size drawer slides I used but they’re easily adapted for 100 lb. drawer slides. I also put a steel support under the saddle racks. I’m not sure of the weight load but I’m pretty sure they’re over 100 lbs., too. Got ‘em at Home Depot.

@ AtomJack – yes, I surely do. You have no idea. She’s wonderful. I’m very blessed.

As nice as this looks, you must love your daughter very much! I am sure she was very pleased. The hooks you picked makes it extra special. Way to go Dad!!

God Bless

Wow, that’s amazing. Definitely can’t let my girlfriend see that, though I’ll save this link for some time in the future in case ;P That looks very nice

Hey Grantman,

Nice! Where’d you get the horse head hooks?

@RiverGirl – I did a search for ‘tack hooks’ on the net and kept searching until I found something I liked. There are a number of sellers that have these. I think they were about $10 each. I have four or five more at home that I don’t need. Do you need some?

As a long-time horsewoman and sometimes professional trainer, I’d LOVE to have a tackbox like this. I’m keeping this on file so I can build myself one someday! Thank you for sharing. The thought you put in to building something really useful for your daughter certainly shows.
