that would be amazing.

As a long time horse person, I have to say "working" tack is just that.... boring and dull. Some rodeo rewards (buckles, saddles generally) are "flashy" - but people don't USE that when they go out to move the cows to a new pasture.

Working tack is dull and boring because it's used every day doing work - in rain, snow, hot sun. When you're out on a horse for hours and hours, you don't CARE what the tack looks like, you care that your butt is comfortable in the saddle, your rope comes easily to hand, your cantle pack ziipper doesn't stick so when you need something you can get it with one hand while guiding the horse (at a gallop, mind you!) to get that damn ornery cow turned back before she pulls the whole herd into the mud along with her.

Sure, this is a game. But I personally am quite happy with the "dull and boring" tack in the game. Then again, I don't really go much for the very flashy mounts, or dress my characters in extremely bright colored outré styles.

Yes, you can call me a "stick in the mud" on this one. But at least the cow didn't wind up there....
