Tack Room Trickery
Our local horseback riding instructor loves practical jokes. He incorporates them into his lessons to keep the students interested, learning and on top of their game. He runs a large operation and therefore has quite a varied selection of tack. He has about thirty saddles of varying sizes and styles.. One day he moved all the saddles to different areas of the barn and told the students to bring him all the trail saddles. Next, they were to return all the rest back to the tack room and put them in their proper places. As each student reached a tack saddle and picked it up a little “pop” went off and startled them. They all laughed, but as a reward when they returned the rest of the saddles to their proper place they each found a piece of candy. He makes learning fun.
