Tack Room Bliss: Organizing Your Equestrian Gear with Zippered Storage Bags

ashleywallison

Every equestrian knows the struggle of keeping their gear organized—tangled lunge lines, missing gloves, and an avalanche of saddle pads can turn any trunk or tack room into a chaotic mess. Whether you're at home, traveling to a show, or managing your barn setup, staying organized can make a world of difference.

That’s where zippered storage bags come in! These durable and versatile bags are the perfect solution for keeping all your equestrian essentials in order. From small accessories like hair nets and spurs to bulkier items like towels and coolers, these storage bags offer a place for everything—so everything can be in its place.



Why Use Zippered Storage Bags for Tack and Trailer Organization?

1. Keep Your Gear Clean and Protected

Barn environments are full of dust, dirt, and (let’s be honest) a lot of horse hair! Our water resistant zippered storage bags keep your gear protected from grime and moisture, ensuring that your items stay in top condition. No more digging through your trunk for a clean pair of gloves or realizing your show pad is covered in dirt right before tacking up!

2. Secure Your Essentials with Durable Zippers

Unlike open bins and bags that can spill, these storage bags feature sturdy zipper closures that keep everything safely contained. Whether you’re packing for a show or just keeping your tack room in order, you can trust that your gear will stay where it belongs.



3. Choose the Perfect Size for Every Item

With multiple sizes available, you can tailor your storage system to fit your needs:

  • Small (9" L x 5" W x 3.5" D): Ideal for gloves, spurs, half chaps, ear bonnets, clippers, stock ties and braiding supplies.

  • Medium (12" L x 5" W x 5" D): Great for most horse boots, polo wraps, first aid kits, grooming tools, and tack cleaning supplies.

  • Large (15" L x 5" W x 5" D): Designed to hold taller horse boots , lunging equipment, lightweight sheets & coolers, thin saddle pads, bridles, and girths.

  • Extra Large (15" L x 9" W x 6" D): The go-to size for bulkier gear like thicker saddle pads, standing wraps, towels, ice boots and larger sheets & coolers.



4. Label for Easy Identification

For even more organization, combine your storage bags with our various bag tags to label each bag's contents. With two different attachment options for your label, if you desire more customization, opt for our blank tags to tailor them to your specific gear, as well as to the owner or horse the gear is for. Say goodbye to guessing what's inside—simply grab what you need and go! This is particularly beneficial when packing for shows or clinics, allowing you to find everything quickly without sifting through a pile of gear.

5. Free up those hands

No more leaving a trail of dropped gear from the tack room to the grooming stall, simply loop an arm through a handle (or five) and carry ALL of your grooming tools, tack and boots in one trip!



6. Use for Trailer and Truck Organization

Beyond just tack and barn essentials, these zippered storage bags are perfect for organizing emergency and maintenance gear in your truck and trailer.

  • Emergency Kits: Keep a medium or large bag filled with first aid supplies for both horse and rider, including bandages, antiseptic, vet wrap, and electrolyte paste.

  • Trailer Tools: Store extra halters, lead ropes, spare trailer ties, a flashlight, duct tape, and a multitool in one easy-to-access bag.

  • Truck Essentials: Use a large bag for roadside emergency supplies like jumper cables, tire pressure gauges, a small air compressor, and work gloves.

  • Winter Prep: In colder months, an extra-large bag can hold warm gloves, hats, hand warmers, extra blankets, and ice scrapers for winter travel.

How to Use These Storage Bags for Maximum Organization

  • Tack Room Storage: Assign a specific bag for each category of gear—one for boots, one for wraps, one for spare bits, etc. Or assign a specific bag for each horse. Or Both! With two spaces for attachment of tags, there are many options! Stack or hang them neatly for easy access.

  • Trailer Organization: Keep a set of labeled bags in your trailer so you’re always ready for shows and clinics. This prevents last-minute packing stress and forgotten items.

  • Emergency Prep: Store a dedicated bag in your truck and trailer with must-have roadside and first aid items, so you're prepared for anything on the road or at the barn.

Final Thoughts

A well-organized barn, trailer, or tack room saves time, reduces stress, and helps keep your gear in excellent condition. Whether you’re tidying up your tack trunk, packing for a show, or preparing for an emergency, zippered storage bags are a simple but effective solution for keeping everything neat, secure, and easy to find.
