Nope its just for looks!

Ammit did mention once, I think, that someday it might, but at present MoonAcre is correct.

I use tack as a kind of code. I'm trying to breed for height and bone, halter means tall enough, flowers in their mane and tail means enough bone, a saddle means pt over 10! Then when I look through families I can see how I'm doing!!!

Aw that is a very cool idea.

Back when tack first came out lots of people used it for keeping track of things! It's cool how things come back around!

I use it to keep track of things too. Mares all get shiny spray. Stallions get shiny spray and halters. My 1000 point club showers get a full tack set with saddle, bridle and braids.

I use tattoo placement to determine generation! Shoulder is ufoundation and "bought in" horses, thigh is 2nd and 3rd, hip is 4th and 5th, whither is 6th and 7th and then jaw is show ponies :D just an idea for when you get your tattoos

Before I had a tattoo I used halter colors as quality for different generations. Different shades of blue for different foundations levels, red was 2nd and I think I had purple for 3rd? Orange mea you "iffy". I like having halters on all my horses just to make them look pretty now though. I really like yellow on dark Bay and orange on black blue on grey maroon on dun and so on

My DP and black horses do get shiny spray, my older brood mares with good points get a mohawk, favorite stallions get braids and favorite show horses get full tack WITH one of the color back drop backgrounds. The other show ponies just get plain tack
...I'll shut up now X_X
