tacked up

Posted with pins

Tacked up describes a horse fitted with its tack—saddle, bridle, and related equipment—ready to be ridden: The horses were tacked up and waiting in the stable yard.

Separately, something tacked up has been fastened loosely with tacks or pins: concert flyers tacked up on telephone poles.
