Looking for New and Used Race Tack

Postby Shannon » Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:58 pm

Can anybody tell me some good, inexpensive sites that sell race tack? Or where I could find used stuff?

I am looking for all sorts of tack...
exercise saddles, bridles, bits, girths, blinkers etc.

Thanks!

Try Ebay for the tack. But are you looking for racetrack equipement like Tractors and fencing?
I know Winnemucca, Nv. racetracks dont use theirs, but as far as Tack goes,,,, ebay.

Ebay is a good place to look, although aside from maybe bridles, other racing tack can be pretty sparce. I'd recommend Big Dee's - http://www.bigdweb.com/

They have pretty much anything you'd want - they have an "economy" exercise package as well as a package that costs a little bit more - tons of choices in regards to bridles (colors, material), saddles, girths - just an excellent source for everything you mentioned and more

Thanks for the info. We are likely going to buy a package from Big Dees as well as some other stuff. Great prices!
