My Store of Choice on a Shopping Spree

I have horses and I am always needing something for them, so my store of choice for a shopping spree would be what we call a tack store. The equipment such as saddle, bridle and other gear is called tack, originating from the word tackle which refers to equipment used for a specific activity, hence the name tack store or tack shop.

A tack store is where you will find just about everything you need for your horse, and usually there are clothes for the rider too. So, when I go to a tack store I might buy new riding boots, riding jeans, shirts etc or I might buy things specifically for my horse. Some tack stores sell jewelry with a horse theme, earrings etc. Many times I go to a tack shop and find cute shirts to wear, and I have bought some really nice earrings.

If I were to go on a shopping spree, can tell you that currently I need new halters for my horses, I could use some new jeans and t-shirts, and I always look at the saddle pads because you can never have enough saddle pads, and I am kind of a saddle pad junkie. LOL. Maybe I would pick up a new bridle which I definitely do not need, but I would buy one because why not. And I have horse shows coming up so I probably would buy some new shirts to use at the shows, and I actually need a new Stetson, so I would buy a new hat.
