Tack
Tack is the term used specifically for the harness of a horse, which includes amongst other things (and largely consists of), a saddle and bridle of a ridden horse; and the harness and bridle of a driven horse.
Traditionally these items are made of leather, however, more modern materials are now also used. A workshop or shop that makes or sells such items is often referred to as a 'saddlery' or 'tack shop'.
In addition to saddles, and harnesses, all manner of associated equestrian items pertaining to the care of the horse are referred to colloquially as 'tack', including:
saddles (numnahs), bridles (head pieces), bits, rugs, blankets, clippers, and even equestrian clothing.
