Cheap and easy if you need more saddle storage............

I saw this at one of the local Bastrop trainers facilities. This happens to be in the boarders tack room. What an awesome way to create saddle racks and to keep some of these buckets out of the landfills! It doesn't take much to hang them and they also create a little storage area too. I am always looking for ways to save some money and save the planet! Contact me if I can help you look for horse properties or farm and ranch land in Central Texas.

Buckets for saddle racks

A great place to shop for tack for horse enthusiasts in Central Texas

I am a horse property specialist  and I work in and around the Austin area out of the Bastrop Sky Realty Office.  I also breed Paint Horses.  My local trainer Devon Rose - DR Showhorses  initiated me into the South Texas Tack fan club.  South Texas Tack is located in Brenham Texas and is a great place to go shopping!  You can get just about anything horse related you might need from tack to supplements, saddles to soaps.  Living in the Austin area it is a great little half day drive and a group of us horse addicts car pool to get our goodies.

Video of Recycle Center in Smithville Texas

Smithville  Texas has a recycle center that not too many people are aware of.   When I went to drop off my recycle items I thought I would take a few pictures to share with you via video media.  I presort my recycle materials - Plastics 1 & 2, paper, cans so when I drive in I can just efficiently drop them off.  Takes me a couple of minutes and I feel good about keeping the items out of our local landfills.
