Saddles- attach tags to left side on hardware hook. Do not place on horn.
Books & Videos- use masking tape to avoid tearing original cover. Tape tag on back cover.
Boots- secure a tag on the left boot.
Clothing- attach tags to front belt loops or buttonholes using zip ties. The size tag at the neck or waist may work as well, but the tag should be easily visible. If a suitable place to attach a zip tie cannot be found, a safety pin can be used. Clothing must be on hangers. Please hang your items so the hanger is facing to the left or in the shape of a question mark.
Sets or Multiple Items- attach a single tag to the main item. For all other items being sold for one price as a set, use a handwritten tag with your consignor number, item number, & brief description only. For example: on a Western saddle outfit complete with the bridle, the main tag would be hung on the left side of the saddle. A handwritten tag with just the consignor number and item number (i.e. SAP2088-7) and "Matching Bridle" would be attached to the bridle. This allows us to keep sets together.
Bits- these are securely hung on a display rack. Bits do not need to be in plastic bags. To measure a bit, measure only the part that will fit in the horse's mouth. This is generally the inside corner of the shank or ring to the inside corner on the other side. The majority of horse bits are 5" followed by 4 3/4" and 5 1/4". Bits can range in size from 3"-7" with standard 1/4" increments.
Blankets & Sheets- attach the tag to the front buckles if available. Side buckles also work well. Blankets are measured from the center of the chest to the center of the tail.
Cleaning Tips- Please takes a little extra time to clean your items, especially saddle pads and horse blankets. The cleaner it is, the better it will sell. Many coin Laundromats have oversized washers. After washing, allow it to dry over a fence at the barn. A power washer, car wash, or even a fence rail with a good rain storm also do well for cleaning, at least for the worst filth. For odors, including barn cat, wash your items with a couple cups of white vinegar. It does wonders at eliminating smells! Then you can adjust your price and hopefully sell it for more. The Fort Smith Equestrian Exchange does reserve the right to reject extremely dirty items or pull them until the last day and/or consult the consignor.
Pricing- Please understand that The Fort Smith Equestrian Exchange is NOT responsible for price decisions about your item, nor will we negotiate and call you with any "Make Offer". The purpose of the discount price coding is to allow us to know your price intentions on the last sale day. For handwritten tags, write the price in black ink if you do not want your item's price changed and discounted.

The Fort Smith Equestrian Exchange will not price barter.
If you have any questions about tagging and pricing, please contact us!

1. Pre-register (see Registration Form). Your consignor number is your 3 initials and the last 4 digits of your phone number. (i.e. Sherri Ann Pledger at 678-2088 would label all her tags in the left top corner SAP2088)
2. Items must be tagged with manila tags with reinforced holes (Available at office supply stores. Ask for shipping tags. Please do not attach with wire).
3. On the top right corner of the tag write the measurement of the item (example: 17" Wide)
4. Write the price, using LARGE number, in the center of the tag. Consignors are responsible for pricing their own items. You can choose whether or not you want your item discounted on the last day of the sale.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
***Price written in BLACK ink- item never discounted stays that price throughout the entire sale even on the last day
***Price written in BLUE ink- price to be reduced 25% on last day
***Price written in RED ink- price to be reduced 50% on last day
5. On the bottom of the tag, write a detailed description of the item.
6. Attach your tag securely to the item. Zip ties/ Electrical ties are best (found in the electrical department in
Wal-Mart/ Home Depot/ Lowes)
7. Make an inventory list of all the items you are consigning. Please put the corresponding inventory number on your tags directly behind your seller ID (Example: MAS2367 is bringing 12 items. For her 7th item, she would mark her tag on the item MAS2367-7.) This helps speed up check-in and check-out since we do not need to hunt for the item on your inventory.

Please see Tagging Tips for suggestions on securing the tag to the item.
