When embarking on your equestrian journey, having the right equipment is crucial for both horse and rider. Among the essentials is the trusty tack trunk, a staple of every barn and stable.

Tack trunks serve as the storage hub for all things horse-related, from saddles and bridles to grooming supplies and medical kits. For beginners navigating the vast world of equestrian gear, finding the perfect tack trunk can be overwhelming.

Fear not, as we delve into the best beginner tack trunk options to simplify your search.

 

Plastic Tack Trunk Options

Ideal for beginners who may not have a dedicated barn locker, plastic tack boxes offer convenience and versatility. These lightweight yet sturdy boxes are perfect for transporting gear to and from the stable or even for use at horse shows. Look for options with built-in handles and compartments for organization. 

You can find these trunks at your local hardware store or online. The most popular brands are Husky, Stanley and Craftsman. A bonus, for the 37" Husky and Stanley trunks we offer custom trunk covers!

Starter Wood Trunks

For those just starting out in the equestrian world, our starter tack trunk is an excellent choice. It is designed with the beginner in mind. This trunk is small enough to be easily carried but large enough to fit your essentials. 

These trunks can be stained just like our more premium options or painted. They come in your choice of chrome or brass metal finishes. You can even add a mounted brass or chrome plate for your name or horses name. 

 

Unfinished Wood Trunks

For the crafty beginner eager to put their skills to the test, DIY unfinished tack trunks offer a fun and customizable option. Staining your own trunk will save on money and also give you the freedom to finish the trunk in any color you would like. 

Like all our trunk options, you can choose between brass and metal handles and closure.
