Horse tack boxes can be fitted with an extra set of items you may need. That way you just have to bring your tack box along with you and you will be covered. This is handy if you accidentally forget an item or break an item.

Just like most trunks, you can easily find a tack box to fit the size of items you will be storing. There are many different sized tack boxes. They also come in a variety of colors to match your style.
