Nowadays when one goes to a horse show you see so much more bling tack than before. It is a treat to a horse dressed up in clean and shiny equipment, as it always makes him and his rider stand out from the crowd. Gone are the days of the boring brown leather look. With so many options out there, you and your mount can now grace the arena looking like super starts.

For those who ride western style, there are many places that offer services to spruce up your tack. You could start with your own shirt. One could put rhinestones on your shirt which can match your horse's brow band. You and your mount would be coordinated and look great.

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.

One more place you could coordinate your attire with your horses' is with your belt. You could get your belt and the brow band of your horse coordinating with crystals and diamante. This way the two of you will shine as you enter the arena.

It is always a nice idea to take some old gear and spruce it up a bit. Make sure that it is still in good condition though as you would not want it to break. Taking some old equipment and making it look new is a great idea to bring some color to your tack. Remember to choose colors that will go with you and your horse. Check to see if you will be allowed to go into the arena with glitterati on your tack.

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.

Once you have decided on your design, you will then have to purchase a good quality leather glue. Make sure that it will keep them the crystals in place as you do not want to land up losing half your stones. Doing up your tack may take a bit of time but it is well worth it in the long run.

Clean your leather gear with a suitable cleaner. This will help the decorations and glue to stick better. Lay your crystals out on the straps to see if it looks good first. Then, once you have decided on a style you can glue them down. Do not get too much glue on the leather as it makes the crystal look smudgy. Once it is dry, you can set off for a ride on your noble steed to show off your designer bling tack.
