About Le Tack Truck Equestrian Boutique
Horse country starts where the vineyard rows give out. North of the lakes the valley widens into hayfields and pasture, and the Commonage acreages south of the city, the benches above town and the rural roads running east all keep horses. That base supports a trade many towns of this size cannot carry, which is a proper shop for riders and their tack. Le Tack Truck Equestrian Boutique is at 3014 29 St in downtown Vernon.
Equestrian retail is its own discipline and has little in common with a general pet aisle. The stock divides into gear for the horse and gear for the rider. On the horse side that means saddles, pads, girths, bridles and bits, halters and lead ropes, blankets and sheets for cold weather, grooming kit, boots and wraps, and the small hardware that always breaks at the worst possible moment. On the rider side it runs to helmets, breeches, gloves, half chaps and tall boots, plus show clothing when the season demands it. Discipline matters too, since english and western outfits are stocked and fitted quite differently.
Fit is the reason to shop in person rather than online. Saddle fit affects the horse's back and the rider's position, helmets are sized carefully and replaced after any impact, and boots want trying on. If you are driving in from an acreage, a call ahead is sensible so you know whether what you need is on hand, and it is worth asking whether measurements, trials or fitting help are part of what happens in the shop. Bring your horse's measurements and your own if you have them, and know which discipline you ride.
