Tack up a Samurai horse

How to tack up a Japanese Samurai pony size horse?

Tack is a term used to describe horse riding equipment. Tack up includes everything placed on your horse, including the bridle, saddle, pads, reins, bits, stirrups, and other items. When you are tacking up your horse, you are getting him ready to ride by properly placing all of the necessary equipment to ensure safety and comfort for both of you. 


A series of five videos of tacking up a Japanese pony size horse:

Videos were taken in January 2020. Thanks to the cooperation of Okayano-no-Mori Farm (御猟野乃杜牧場).      Please take a look at this as an example of tacking up a Japanese Samurai pony size horse.

Due to modern horse gear is worn on bigger modern horse breed, the length of the straps have been adjusted to accommodate the size, so there are some differences from the original horse gear.


1.  Placing the saddle


2. Putting on the chest strap


3. Putting on the crupper


4. Attaching the stirrups


5. Fitting the bridle, brow strap, bit and reins
