I’ve experienced and witnessed firsthand how quickly accidents can happen when tack isn’t properly maintained — and trust me, they rarely end well. It is crucial to look over your tack before every ride, and if you find damage, replace it immediately.
Picture this: you’re galloping at full speed, you ask your horse to stop, and suddenly your reins snap. The clips on your reins were corroded, but you never noticed because you skipped your inspection. Now you’re on a ride with “all gas and no brakes.”
A quick check before you saddle up can prevent dangerous situations and keep both you and your horse safe.
