- All I can tell you is that my tack looks fine after 9 months of
- storage. The woman who suggested this in the article was the head of
- a big show barn (I think for some Olympic level rider) and they had a
- separate set of tack that went to Florida every season and was stored
- in the meantime. Of course, just because she does it doesn't mean
- it's the right thing to do. Again, I'll try to remember to look for
- the other methods in the article (when I have a spare moment, hah!).
