Back at the Barn with Kentucky Performance Products: 10 Jumper Barn Life-Hacks

Most “life-hack” websites clearly don’t get me, or any other horse person for that matter. They seem to think I have all sorts of time for crafting, that my house is being run by technology and corded instruments rather than feeding schedules, and that I have time to make my own organic vegan gluten-free shampoo. For my horse, maybe.

But a BARN life-hack? That’s something I can get behind. Here are a few of our favorite barn life-hacks curated with the busy and industrious horseman in mind.

A saddle pad and bandage wrap = the perfect makeshift dog blanket on a cold morning ?? ? #barnlife #BellaRosa #HorsesofInstagram #BarnHacks #RedHeeler #Corgi #dogsofinstagram

I call them #tack #burritos. Easy way to #organize schooling tack and show tack when space is limited. #barnhacks #tacktrunk #ponyfinals #horseshow

Hands down most AWESOME #grooming tote #storage shelf for a #ridingschool! ?SO CUTE! ??? I love this for so many reasons: – You can keep each horse’s brushes separate – Kids (and their parents!) can learn to recognize each horse – You can add in any extra items, like a pair of polos or boots, OR a card or tag with special instructions like “use standing martingale” – When horses leave or retire, you already have a photo for the School Horse Wall of Fame (you have one, right?)

Tennis balls at the barn!? Yup! They make great little #bumpers on your #crossties; no more loud ‘clang’ against the #stable walls when you unclip them and let go! Just cut a slit in either side and feed your crosstie through.

#annaatlumhollow is showing off the awesome contraption my hubby made me for cleaning out the barns. It’s pretty difficult getting a full wheelbarrow over this high threshold, but with this device, I can just keep rolling! Tell me what simple things make your life easier! #smallfarm #farmingenuity #simplethings #keepitsimple #pigfarming #manure #homesteading #homesteadhacks
