English Tack
How much does english tack cost?
"How high is up?" 
)
You can spend this much for a saddle by Hermes: http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp?splid=0608RRC&pn=X1-15254&bhcd2=1222290137
Or you can go to your local tack shop that sells used tack on consignment, or a tack auction, or go on eBay, and pay as little as $100 or less. What you buy won't be pretty, but it will probably be serviceable.
Bridles, ditto. http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_X1-12865 Or you can buy a used bridle for under $25.
You can pay hundreds of dollars for special bits, too, or go the used tack route and (if you're inclined to do garage sales in horsey areas) pick up a whole box of bits for a few dollars.
You need to define what quality of tack you want before you can know how much it costs. If you just want to hack around and maybe take a few lessons, you could outfit your horse for under $300-400. If you want to show, you'll need to spend more for tack that has good quality to it.
When I bought my tack, I was advised to not skimp on the quality of the saddle. You can get by with an inexpensive bridle, there are lots of them that will look fine and are sturdy enough to use. But you want to make sure your saddle is a good one, that fits you comfortably and is right for your horse (if you're going to use it to ride lesson horses, get one that is a good fit for you and invest in lots of pads so you can use it on horses with a variety of shapes).
If you can find a good-quality top-of-the-line used saddle, that IMO is a better purchase than a cheaper new saddle, but if you're buying used tack you want to examine it carefully. Lots of things are easily fixed, but if you buy a saddle with a cracked or broken tree, you'll have problems.
Good luck!

Would you pay to have someone clean your tack for you?
As in a very good, thorough cleaning for both English and Western tack. Would you be more likely to if there were a discount for every additional piece of tack cleaned? Let me know why or why not. Thank you!
A lot of you guys make it seem like I'm a bum... but I was actually asking this question because I love cleaning tack too. It would be an ideal job, that's all.
I clean my own tack (I'm very protective of my tack and a bit obsessive about how I clean it) but there are several people (mostly adults) at my barn that will pay the younger students to clean their tack if they don't have the time. In my opinion though, tack cleaning is something that the rider should do - it is a part of the responsibility and it shouldn't become a habit to have other people clean it for you.
