A tack shop is an equestrian supply store.

Buyers may purchase various pieces of riding equipment and training aids, as well as boots and riding apparel, stable equipment, horse care products, grooming supplies, horse blankets and sheets, model horses, and equine books, magazines, and videos.

In many cases, individual tack shops are geared to a certain type of riding, such as English, Western-style, or Saddle seat.

Online tack shops also provide many of the same products to their buyers.

Tack shops are often run in conjunction with equestrian facilities.

Equestrianism (from Latin equester, equestr-, equus, horseman, horse), more often known as riding, horseback riding (American English) or horse riding (British English), refers to the skill of riding, driving, steeplechasing or vaulting with horses.

This broad description includes the use of horses for practical working purposes, transportation, recreational activities, artistic or cultural exercises, and competitive sport.

The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus.

It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae.

The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today.

Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC.

Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses.

These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse.

There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.

A pet or companion animal is an animal kept primarily for a person's company, protection, or entertainment rather than as a working animal, sport animal, livestock, or laboratory animal.

Popular pets are often noted for their attractive appearances and their loyal or playful personalities.
