Horse tack is the equipment used to ride or handle horses—saddles, bridles, reins, bits, harnesses, and related gear.
The word tack in this sense is a mass noun: We need to clean the tack before the show.
A tack room is where such equipment is stored.
The verb tack up means to put this equipment on a horse.
