If you’re like me, you have plenty of horse stuff in your car — all the time. But perhaps not the other things you might need.
This weekend we went to the beach. I packed the car with everything I needed . . . except a leash for my dog. Luckily (and predictably) I had two stirrup leathers in the trunk. They make a surprisingly good leash!
I’ve made similar good use of baling twine and an old set of reins (perhaps I should buy a few actual leashes?).
A fleece saddle pad makes a comfortable dog bed and braiding rubber bands are handy for human hair, too.
What about you? What do you re-purpose from your horse supplies?
Brilliant improvising! Don’t have horses anymore, but still have a ton of tack. I’m ging to start rummaging! 🙂
Old fleece saddle pads also make good fleece cribbing collar covers. I no longer have a cribber, but it’s much less expensive to make your own.
That’s a very good idea. And I do still have a cribber!
We took our Golden to dog beach last summer and did not have a leash in the car. Thankfully my husband had a computer cord which he tied around the collar. Ridiculous. I like the ideas about the old saddle pads. Hadn’t thought of that. Thanks!
