The History of Horse Tack: From Ancient Civilizations to Modern-Day
As humanity developed and gained knowledge, so did the development and improvement of horse tack. There is disagreement about exactly when tack came to be. The earliest form was a simple woven mat. When the rider kept sliding off, the cinch was developed. This addition was a simple tie around the belly of the horse to keep the mat in place. It was a prototype of the saddle.
Plaques and writings from Mesopotamia reveal a rudimentary rein attached to a nose ring inflicted on the animal. As humans and horses got to know each other better over the centuries, horse handlers learned that equines are intelligent and easily trained. Adaptations in horse tack moved away from man forcibly controlling the animal through pain to the more humane methods of cooperation between man and animal enjoyed today.
