Do it yourself and make your own tack trunk! If you are interested in purchasing plans to build this tack trunk, we'd be happy to sell them to you for $35. After payment is made via PayPal, I will email you the PDF document. Please give me up to a day to respond. If you have any troubles please contact me directly at by email. This design is original and created entirely by my Hubby.
In December 2011, my awesome Hubby surprised me on Christmas morning with the beginnings of a tack trunk! By the end of February 2012, it was completed and in my tack room.
