No more than fifteen seconds, maybe a half minute if the horse is tired.
If the horse is clipped you can lay a quarter sheet or cooler over the horses hindquarters while you tack up. If the horse is not clipped then it most likely is not cold while tacking up.
If you are a new player, without a horse, you can rent a horse with tack in either Earton or Appleton for $200. The horse will be in your inventory for 2 real world hours, and then when your time is up, it will dissapear.
A horse simply isn't built to lie down for long, it compressses the lungs and disturbs the function of the stomach. It needs to stand up to breathe properly and keep its bowels moving.
To tack up a horse english style (if this is what you mean?) first (after you brush them off) you put on the square pad. Then, you put on the white pad (sometimes called a fluffy pad) then, the saddle. Then you put on the girth and then the bridle and your all done :)
When You Walk a horse out on the streets, you must have a bridle on the horse in order to controll it. that is all you need but you can fully tack up if yu wish...just to get your horse used to the saddle.

Oh, it's easy as pie! To put tack on a Howrse, you simply go to your horse's page, click on the "Equipment" tab, and then drag the tack you want to use onto your horse. It's just like dressing up your horse in their favorite outfit to go for a ride! Just take your time, enjoy the process, and your Howrse will look fabulous in no time.
because the horse is not old enough. A horse on howrse has to be at least 3 years for it to have any kind of tack
At least a bridle and a saddle. Each has their own parts as well. Some horses may need martingales and saddle pads and leg wraps. Don't skimp on tack, the more comfortable the horse is, the easier it is to ride.
4-5 weeks
For a regular days grooming... probably a curry comb, mane and tail brush, dandy brush (for final brushing to shine up the coat), hoof pick, and if you plan on giving your horse a bath regularly, then probably horse shampoo, horse conditioner, sponge and/or rag, and a towel if you dry your horse. her are the basic things you should carry in your grooming tack box.
I think 'tack' is the wrong word. What you need are boots. They are sometimes called overreach boots or bell boots and are a must for a horse that 'tracks up' to the point that he interferes with himself. The result can be injury to the backs of the front cannon bones, fetlocks or heels which of course you want to avoid at all costs. You can buy these from your local tack or feed store or can order them online from horse supply catalogs.
