horse tack, equestrian tackI’m not sure there is any situation past those that call for complete silence like researching a project in a library that isn’t better with music. Sure some songs break focus but if focus is important some soft piano, classical violin or acoustic guitar can help keep the creative juices flowing. There is not a day that goes by where at least part of my work isn’t paired with music. One of my favorite places to experience a new album is on the road. In a car is a good testing stage for a brand new album. Once those favorite tracks are compiled on a playlist it then becomes ready for riding. For me, riding is on a motorcycle. For a friend, riding involves a horse halter. He has been an avid rider since a young kid. All that experience is really paying off because now he gets to show off his talent with equestrian tack in front of judges.

He works for a stable that leads tours around the area. Apparently, they have some show quality horse, which he sometimes shows at events. I asked him if he ever listens to music while riding on the horse tack. Not really was his answer. I couldn’t believe this which brought me online to the Jewelry Tack Room at http://www.jewelrytackroom.com/. Inspired by horse tack, this retailer has an array of product including inexpensive MP3 players. It just seemed right to shell out a little bit of money for the 1.5" Color MP3 Video 1GB Black. Model - EM101VID so that he could start riding with a beat.

There is nothing like bombing down a twisty road with the headphones playing some instrumental beat while riding my motorcycle. I’m sure he will get the same sensation when taking a ride around local trails. He is my source for all that has to do with horse. Whether it is equestrian tack, conchos or a horse halter, he knows his stuff. I help him sift through all the great music coming out every day since I’m constantly on the lookout for it. He did me a big favor in the past so this MP3 player will be sort of like payback after I load it with new music for riding. Who knows, he may never saddle up over horse tack without headphones again. There is nothing better than a good song and the wind of riding at speed on bike or animal.
