Horse Tack
Ok, I lease a wonderful mare right now (she's my love and life) and I'm sick of using my trainer's tack and stuff so I'm thinking about purchasing some things with my own money. Here are the things I know I need (they do not include halter, blanket, etc. because my mare has her own). I already have clothes and a crop.
Tack:
Shaped Saddle Pad
Square Saddle Pad
Girth
Bridle
Martingale
Bit
Saddle
Wintec Saddle
Stirrup Leathers
Reigns:
Lead
Stirrups
Stirrup Pads
Brushes:
Curry
Mane
Stiff
Face
Medium
Box
Hoof
Soft
Sponge
Other:
Fly Spray
Cooler
Can you think of anything else I will need?

Get your trainer or instructor to help you out here before you purchase anything!
You seem to have the basics covered really well, but you'll want to talk to someone who knows both you and your horse before you pick out a type of bit (you might need more then one), martingale or bridle. I would hate to see you invest in a nice running martingale and then realize you desperately need a standing martingale for all your flat work (besides that, some horses move lovely without a martingale at all).
All I can see you missing is a hoof pick and an inexpensive set of leg wraps/exercise wraps, if your mare doesn’t have them already.
