What do you prefere. Rear or mid. We have a mid tack and i personaly love it. with it the full back opens up for easier loading. I also like the location better cause it is more in the middle. unless you get tied to the other side of the trailer lol but it still ok.. i also like the swing out saddle racks and the udesign tack system our trailer has in it. We have a 06 Circle J Riata
Well anywaz just thought this would be a good descusion topic

Do both and have the best of both worlds. With all the crap we stuff in our trailers for our 4-legged equine companions you can never have too much storage space. And what's another couple of feet added to the length of your trailer?

We got both. Generator, water tank, brooms, forks, etc in rear-tack. All the high dollar leather goods and show clothing in the mid-tack with plenty of room to get dressed. The leather stuff doesn't get moldy like it does in the rear-tack, mid-tack stays dryer and has heat and A/C along with the front living area. The sometimes much needed porta-pottie is also in the mid-tack. Front dressing room has recliner, microwave, fridge, etc. This stays clean because the mid-tack is used for dressing and undressing at the shows, the mud room you might call it. Got a door from the "living area" to the mid-tack, and a door from mid-tack to horse area. Works good for us.

It would depend on my trailer. I am already 26' on the floor. Adding the midtack would make a difference in length on my trailer, so I opted for one without it. Now if I had a smaller trailer, yes, I would like both.

Yes, I just have a rear tack. It is big enough for 4 saddles and their pads, blankets, halters and bridles, grooming equipment and I even have a corner water tank in it. There is a lot in there, can't really fit any more big items in there. I have one of those door organizers hanging up on one of the "walls" that has my grooming equipment in it. I also have a blanket bar on the door.

I have the mid tack (water tight) with swing out saddle rack, and feed mangers with storage, I haul 5 bales of hay where the rear tack would be, works great for me. Plenty of storage
