What is and what is not horse tack, what method do you use to decide what goes in this category?

Since January 2nd 2008 Horseshoes had been listed in the horse tack category, suddenly an editor who had edited this category for quite some time decided that Horseshoes is not horse tack after all and removed it, members of the WikiProject Equine have also edited the same category with out realizing that Horseshoes was in the wrong category, which brings into question several other suspect articles that are in Category:Horse tack such as Voss v. Fisher, is this horse tack, is a Feedbag horse tack, how about Stable bandage, is this really horse tack, should there be a category for horse related equipment that is not actually horse tack, maybe its time to scrutinize ALL of the articles and re-categorize the articles that really are not horse tack into some other category so that people who use Misplaced Pages do not get false information, just a thought.Samuraiantiqueworld (talk) 07:29, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Books on horse tack and equipment abound. You can easily purchase one. As for feedbags, bandages, etc., you make a valid point that there is a place for some rethinking of the horse tack categories, as the line between "tack" (saddles, bridles, harnesses, training gear and the things attached to the same) and equipment (protective boots, stable gear, etc.) is a fine and often fuzzy one and you can actually find different books with different definitions. But running around and unilaterally changing things is not the way to fix it, neither is arguing with me and personalizing the discussion. Take it to WikiProject Equine and let the whole group discuss the issue. Montanabw 21:43, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
