About Me

Bright Horse & Hound β€” TackNTails Handmade in Ireland

Hi, I’m Barbara, a Clinical Animal Behaviourist with a background in Equine Science and Zoology, and a lifelong passion for horses, hounds, and the humans who love them. At Bright Horse & Bright Hound, I craft handmade tack that’s ethical, colourful, and built for comfort, for gear that doesn’t just look good, but feels good too. Each piece is made by hand in Ireland, blending thoughtful design with behavioural science for the animals we know best.

Whether you're shopping matchy sets or exploring ebooks and training tools, everything here is made by a woman, for women who care about quality, kindness, and connection.
