I just got a new Saddle, Girth, Bridle, and Saddle Pad (all english) and i want to know the cheapest thing i can use to carry it all. (because i dont have horse, i take lessons, and i cant keep my tack where i take lessons) specific stores and/or sites are appreciated

easy- carry it by hand and keep it in your trunk, as long as the weather doesn't get too cold. I have never used anything to transport my tack, except if you would count a cheap saddle cover.

As for your bridle- only use it on one horse with a bit the horse is used to. If you switch around bits and bridles, you may get one that does not fit the horse correctly or make most of the lesson getting a horse used to a new bit instead of working on what lessons on school horses are supposed to do- work on you.

What kind of things make horse tack leather more supple and less cracked? Is there any specific oils that would help? I just bought a saddle and the leather is really stiff. Is there anything I can do about it?

Saddle soap for cleaning and Mink Oil for softening and preservation. Another one for preservation is beef tallow. All beef tallow is is the fat from beef cooked down and strained through cheese cloth to get the meat particles out and the clear liquid will cool into a fatty paste. This is one of the best for preservation and waterproofing.

Edit: Beef tallow is how Great grandpa used to keep his leather. Can even be made into candles.
