Duct tape can fix pretty much anything our horses break down.

Ah, duct tape — the equestrian solution to just about anything. Even the most polished barn has relied on good ol’ duct tape from time to time for a quick fix, creative problem solving or get-by-until-we-can-replace-this-for-real moment. Here are three reader-submitted examples:

Horse removed escape door from trailer at horse show. Duct tape fix until we could get trailer home and fixed. Fix held on 70+ mile drive in a thunderstorm. Photo by Betsy Smith.

When you know you're going to be doing stalls in a downpour tomorrow, your old boots are mostly holes, new boots are 25.00 but duct tape is on sale for 2.99 #equestrianproblems #horsenation #livingthedream
