Looking for a durable, beautifully crafted horse tack box or equestrian storage chest? This handmade piece was created as a surprise birthday gift — blending thoughtful design with personal craftsmanship.
A Personalised Gift for an Equestrian Partner
A recent enquiry came in for a horse tack storage chest, and having made a few of these before, I jumped at the chance. The client had some great ideas: custom features, premium materials, and one important goal — it was to be a birthday gift for his partner.
“When’s the birthday?” I asked.
“In a couple of weeks!”
So — no time to lose.
Made-to-Order Features & Materials
We got straight to work. Designs were drafted based on the client’s requests, and final details were agreed quickly. The result was a beautiful, bespoke oak horse tack box with:
-
Solid oak construction with traditional joinery
-
A waxed finish to bring out the grain and protect the timber
-
Internal compartments for saddles, bridles, and grooming kits
-
Personalised initials carved into the edge – a truly special touch
Working with the client was a pleasure. He was open to my design suggestions, which made the process smooth from start to finish.
