If I want to hoard pretty things that make me happy, I will. Blogging is probably making me worse about it though, cause I read about all these fun new brands or buy things off people's blogs. But it's always a relief to hear from a fellow tack hoarder -- hoard on! 😀TrainwreckInTealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557554448624901955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-69321629157285619752018-01-05T05:51:40.052-08:002018-01-05T05:51:40.052-08:00I struggle with the same thing, I wanted to openly...I struggle with the same thing, I wanted to openly laugh at and make fun of my BM (in good fun of course!) about her cold complaints but then decided to hold back so she keeps taking care of my horse. <br /><br />I'm sure you'll find the best solution for you, don't let anyone tell you to downsize your collection because you might just need them all one day!

While these temps aren't unusual in MO, the prolonged time period is a little abnormal. But ya know. The weather outside is weather. <br /><br />That's an idea! I am just struggling to balance a way to maximize the usefulness of my space while also making things easy to access.

In NJ, it's been COLD and Vermont last week was in the negatives even for its highs! Home for a few weeks over the holidays, and I'm seeing my BM and fellow boarders down south crying about the cold snap. Now, I know it's totally relative to what you and the animals are used to, but I can't help but laugh that they're are shaking in 30 degree weather! Up here I used to ride, or at least walk ride, as long as it was above 20, looking forward to going back south to the balmy 30's instead of the 10 degree weather we're expecting in NJ next few days!<br />Love your tack organization! Saw something a few years ago where they hung a bar, think a horizontal closet bar that hangers would hang on, and they rigged bridle hooks of some sort to hang on that so their bridles hung sideways one in front of the other off that horizontal bar (hopefully you can visualize, hard to describe!). Might not be convenient or could be too difficult to build, but you have quite the selection thought I'd throw it out there!Lysshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615588484441219137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-71076584693070350392018-01-04T07:03:42.323-08:002018-01-04T07:03:42.323-08:00The tack shed is a LIFESAVER -- climate controlled...The tack shed is a LIFESAVER -- climate controlled (ish, haha).
