TTPA Tack Sale

Postponed Until Fall

Need to downsize your tack collection?

Do you have bridles and saddles that don’t fit any of your current horses?

Want to do some Spring Cleaning in your barn and rehome stuff you don’t use anymore?

Bring it to the TTPA Tack Sale!

We welcome all things horsey! Western, English, Endurance, you name it. You can either donate the items or split the proceeds with TTPA (for higher dollar items). TTPA is a non-profit so you can write off donations on your taxes.

Needing Horse Equipment?
This is a great opportunity to get lightly used horse items at great prices! Plus you help a great non-profit that helps maintain the trails.

Contact Amy Dickerson (972-832-2531), Jill Monson 972-804-3412, or Erin Sisson (214-728-2066) to donate ahead of time or just bring items the morning of the sale.
