Saddle Up in Comfort: The Horseman's Guide to Tack Stall Hammocks

Saddle Up in Comfort: The Horseman's Guide to Tack Stall Hammocks

As a lifelong horse enthusiast who grew up on a “horse farm” and has been showing horses since childhood, I've always had a strong affinity for the world of horses. However, it was my venture into the outdoor and camping industry that led me to a surprising discovery - the perfect marriage of two seemingly unrelated worlds: hammocks and horse tack stalls. It's no exaggeration to say that at any horse show you attend, you're bound to spot at least one person with a couple of hammocks slung up in their tack stall. Today, let's delve into the reasons why these hammocks have become a must-have for any horseman's tack stall and why you too should consider adding one to your equine toolkit.


The Pinnacle of Practicality: Size and Weight


One of the most obvious advantages of using hammocks in tack stalls is their size and weight. Horse shows often involve the cumbersome task of hauling heavy tack and accessories, leaving riders feeling exhausted before the competition even begins.  This is to just do it all over again in a few days when the show is over. In contrast, traditional large chairs can be clunky, heavy, and take up valuable space in your horse trailer. The beauty of a hammock lies in its compact design, easily compressible into a small ball that can be tossed into a bucket or tucked away in a corner of your trailer. This practicality allows you to set up your cozy retreat in moments and saves valuable space for other essential items during your equine adventures.


The Lap of Luxury: Comfort Beyond Compare


While zero gravity chairs undeniably offer a level of comfort, most horsemen would argue that there's simply no comparison when it comes to hammocks. A well-designed hammock cradles your body in a cocoon of relaxation, providing an unparalleled level of comfort. It's not just about taking a nap; it's about truly unwinding and finding tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the horse show. Unlike chairs that may occupy precious floor space, hammocks can be easily hung up in the tack room, creating your private oasis away from the crowd. Whether you want to catch a quick nap or simply retreat to your own space for some quiet time, a hammock has got you covered.
