Nowadays when you go to a horse show, one is able to enjoy seeing many different horses kitted out in designer bling tack. People have taken to brightening up their horses' bridals, brow bands, head collars and more. They are also coordinating their own attire with that of their mounts'.

Western riders have got so much more opportunity as they can make their equipment look as glitzy and glamorous as can be. They usually have their shirts coordinating with the brow bands of their horses'. This always looks great and is a super way to impress the judges.

Some brand names are now coming out with studs on their chaps and then there are those who have got diamante running down the outside of the zipper. This gives a bright dazzle to chaps as the sun catches them when you ride. They look great and will add that little bit of glitz to your look.

If you are on a tight budget, you could always opt to spruce your tack up yourself. This way you and your horse will not only look great, but your designs will be one of a kind. Before spending money on dazzling bridals, brow bands, breast plates and more, you may want to find out if this sort of gear is permitted in your chosen discipline. You may find that dressage may not allow for you and your mount to enter the arena in your glitterati gear.

If you are going to decorate your own items, you will want to start off by purchasing a new leather head stall and breast collar. You may also use one that you have spare at home. Make sure that it is still in good condition and give it a clean. You can then think of ways in which you can spruce it up. Imagine what colors will go with your horse and with what you are going to be wearing.

One will find that there are many colors of crystals to choose from to lift the look of your tack. See which one will suit you and your horse. If you are unable to come up with something on your own, you can always have a look online. There are many companies specializing in this sort of thing.

You will need to make sure that you buy glue that will do the work. Sticking the crystals onto the leather straps is going to require a good quality adhesive. Doing up your tack may take a bit of time, as you will have to be patient while you wait for the glue to dry, but once it has you will be very impressed with the end result.

Prior to gluing anything onto the straps, you would have to ensure that the leather is cleaned. One would have to make sure that the leather is dry before gluing anything on. Make sure that you do not get too mush adhesive on the leather as this may make the crystals look rather dull. Sprucing up your riding gear will take some time as the glue needs to dry properly before you can use it. Evey rider loves showing off, and with stunning bling tack you are sure to get the attention you are looking for.
