Why Choose a Tack Trunk? The Essential for Equestrian Competitions

If you regularly participate in equestrian competitions, you know how difficult it is to transport all your equipment in an organized and safe manner. An equestrian trunk changes everything.

Advantages of an equestrian trunk

1. Perfect Organization

A competition trunk allows you to store everything in one place: competition attire, horse equipment, care kit, and accessories. No more stress searching for a glove or a pair of spurs at the last minute.

2. Equipment Protection

High-resistance polypropylene trunks protect your equipment from shocks, humidity, and dirt—inevitable in stable environments. Your competition clothes stay clean and your equipment intact.

3. Easy Transport

Thanks to the wheels and ergonomic handles, you can effortlessly move even a well-filled MAXI trunk through barn aisles, paddocks, and trailers.

4. Long-Term Durability

Unlike sports bags, a good equestrian trunk lasts for years. Alfako trunks are made of high-density polypropylene and their wheels are replaceable.

Which size trunk to choose?

The choice depends on the frequency and duration of your competitions:

  • MINI: the rider's essentials for a single day. Perfect for young riders and local competitions.
  • MIDI: complete attire + equipment for one horse. The choice for most amateur riders.
  • MAXI: equipment for several days or multiple horses. The choice for professionals.

How to maintain your equestrian trunk?

Maintaining an Alfako trunk is simple: clean the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the interior, regularly vacuum any sawdust and bedding residue. If a wheel is damaged, replacement wheels are available in our Alfako accessories range.
