Description
The Tack Room: A Story of Saddlery and Harness in 27 Equine Disciplines By Paula Sells, published by Merlin Unwin Books in 2018. This book explores the fascinating world of tack rooms, where the art of saddlery and harness-making has evolved to meet the demands of various equestrian disciplines. From polo to carriage driving, each discipline requires its unique set of equipment, and Sells delves into the history, current status, and challenges of each. Through conversations with owners and a deep understanding of the craft, Sells reveals the treasure trove of traditional and innovative modern craftsmanship found in tack rooms. With 27 disciplines represented, this book offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of tack through our social history and its changing partnerships with horses in modern culture.
