Photo Challenge: 7 Tack Charms

Because who doesn’t love a little personal style on their tack?

This week’s photo challenge called for your tack charms — the special nameplates or brasses or motivational messages we add to our bridles or saddles for that personal touch.

We received one meaningful reader submission:

This “Angel Pony” bridle charm was given to me by a dear friend after my filly passed away. My next horse was an unbroken gelding. The charm fell off his bridle the day we grew wings and jumped our first crossrail!

And here are a few more we totally LOVE!

Thank you @summerallsopp for the photo of your purple gumball charm! Looks great! #jumpbigequestrian #saddlecharm #horsecharm
