Do you come to our barn to clean the tack?

 

Yes I do!  I can either come to your barn and clean everything that day (or over several days depending on if there are many) OR I can pick up the tack, clean it in my studio, and then return it to you.  Timeline on pickups/drop offs is approx 2 weeks. Some people prefer to have me work on everything there so I do not need to take it with me. Others prefer me to grab it and go and return it when it is ready. 

​

 

Can we ship you tack?

​

Due to the increasing cost of shipping, especially for saddles, I would prefer to schedule to come and clean on site or pick up for cleaning and return. 

​

​

Do you do repairs?

​

Yes, some. I can do most small repairs in the studio like restitching and refinishing.  However, I am not a saddlesmith, and so major repairs I recommend going to someone who does it all the time and has those specialized tools.

 

 

Do you offer cleaning at horse shows? 

​

Yes, but I need to know in advance in order to make sure I have all my supplies with me and have time to get it done when you need it done.  I would MUCH prefer to schedule time in advance to come to the barn for cleaning prior to the show so neither of us is stressed.  I can do touchups quickly and easily at shows but deep cleans I try to always get done in advance.

HELP MY TACK IS MOLDY!  Can you fix it?

​

Yes!!  Moldy tack is a pain, but is fixable and preventable.  After deep cleaning, it is recommended that tack stay out of the bag for at least 24-48 hours to allow it to completely be exposed to air.  A common hack not discussed much is adding a few bits of chalk or a small bag of rice to your tack bags during storage. This absorbs any moisture and helps prevent mold and also silver tarnishing.
