Tack Room Orginization Hack

I have a very cute two horse, slant load trailer.  I don’t have a proper barn at my home so the trailer tack room is the only tack room I have.  As most of you are aware, horse people have a tendency for acquiring lots of tack/horse related stuff.  There are things in my tack room that I don’t recall purchasing.  They just appeared in there.  My tack collection has started to spilled into my husband’s shop.  I have a little corner that is mine. I keep all the winter blankets there, plus two saddles and several saddle pads. 
This spring I have decided to clean out what I really don’t need.  We have a 4-H tack swap each year and I started there. I sold quite a few items which gave me some extra cash in my pocket.  I’ve also just gotten rid of a lot of things that I no longer need and I know I won’t be able to sell.  But even with this purge, I was still struggling with all the splint and bell boots I have. 
For the past 7 years I have been keeping all those horse boots in a large bag.  Problem is, that if I want my red boots and they are in the bottom of the bag, I have to take everything out.  Annoying!  What is a girl to do when looking for organization solutions?  Pinterest of course! 
After a quick search, I found the perfect solution.  Velcro on the walls of my trailer to attach the boots to, perfect!  A quick trip to my local Hobby Lobby was fruitful.  I purchased Black 2" wide Stick-On Hook & Loop Industrial Strips.  I got a coupon from Hobby Lobby’s web site for 40% off of one item for a total cost of $7.00.  Score!  
I wiped off the wall I wanted to put the boots on and then carefully applied the Velcro with the hooks as the top row because it sticks better to the splint boots.  I then used the strip with the loops for the bell boots just below the first strip.  I made sure that there was enough room between the two strips so that the splint boots and bell boots don't overlap.  I had to cut the 4 foot strips in half to fit in my trailer but it worked just fine. 
I can't believe I waited so long to do this project.  It took me about 5 minutes to complete and I'm so happy with it.  No more annoying bag of boots to dig through.
