About Tack In A Box

Tack in a Box was the brainchild of John Wassenaar and Christina Seidel. John and Christina operate Foxhaven Farms, a warmblood breeding and training farm near Bluffton, Alberta, and John is also a farrier/ blacksmith. John and Christina remain their own best customers, using Tack in a Box as permanent stable lockers on the farm, as well as to transport all their tack and equipment throughout their busy summer show schedule.

Frustrating experiences transporting tack to shows and training facilities spawned the idea for Tack in a Box. With no practical, portable tack boxes available on the market, John and Christina decided to develop one themselves. John's fabrication and carpentry skills came in handy, with the first prototype built mostly of wood. Ongoing trials led to a final design which was used to produce the lightweight polyethylene Tack in a Box as you see it today.

The body and lid are molded at D&M Plastics in Lacombe, Alberta, and final assembly takes place in the Tack in a Box production facility located at Foxhaven Farms. The Tack in a Box tack store handles direct retail sales.
