The ARMOIRE TACK CABINET is the answer to the horseman’s lament. I need more storage! Originally a request of my wife “Chris”, with her need to store more tack in one cabinet. So we redesigned it with more storage capacity, designed "For the horse owner by a horse owner". As you will see, it meets all the everyday needs of today's English equestrian. This tack cabinet is low-cost, simple-to-build, lightweight and compact. Made of sturdy plywood construction it measures 57-1/2" high x 30" wide x 29" deep. Intelligent design has more than enough room to hold all those essential items for your horse. Riders Please Note: English & Western Saddles are used for different purposes and come in different sizes. We strongly recommend you measure your saddle before purchasing or building to make sure your saddle fits in the trunk or cabinet of choice. Our plans may have to be modified to accommodate your saddle type/size or other rider personal preferences. |
The unique Saddle House design easily holds an English Saddle, saddle pad, and girth. Directly below your saddle is the Saddle House Door compartment. Here there is room for your hunt cap, riding gloves, spurs, riding crop, bats or other small items. Under the Saddle House Door compartment there is easy access to your standard plastic grooming tote box. Next to the Saddle House there are three slide out drawers. These drawers can hold horse care products, such as vitamins/supplements, liniments, coat care products, grooming clippers, vaccines, wormers, fly spray, etc. |
Beneath the Saddle House and Drawers there are four shelves that hold four slide out Plastic Storage Crates (11" height x 13" wide x 22" depth). These crates can hold a large variety of items, extra saddle pad, anti-sweat sheet, cooler, lunge line, hoof care products, horse treats and otherwise hard-to-fit items. |
Inside the Armoire Cabinet Doors there are two standard vinyl-coated bridle brackets to hang your bridles and extra halters on. There are six polo wrap pockets and a place for those quilted leg wraps or shipping boots. This cabinet sits on top of four swivel casters, making it easy to move when needed. |
