We are excited to share some incredible news: The Tackroom has been featured in Cfx.re’s Server Spotlight for September 2025!
For those who might be unfamiliar, Cfx.re is the development team behind FiveM and RedM, the powerful platforms that enable custom multiplayer servers in Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. Without their tools, servers like The Tackroom wouldn’t exist, and the equestrian sandbox community wouldn’t have the creative space it does today.
Being recognized in their monthly Server Spotlight is a tremendous honor. Each month, Cfx.re highlights servers, script developers, and others in the FiveM and Redm space that stands out for innovation, community growth, and impact. To be featured in September 2025 shows not only how far The Tackroom has come, but also how vibrant and passionate our community truly is.
What Makes This Spotlight Special
This spotlight is especially meaningful because it marks almost exactly one year since The Tackroom officially opened. Back in 2024, we were still in the planning stages:
-
Putting the finishing touches on systems and environments.
-
Running testing sessions with early members.
-
Building what started as a simple dream—a space for horse lovers and friends to connect.
At the time, the goal wasn’t grand or ambitious. It was simply to create a slice-of-life equestrian world that people could enjoy together. Fast forward one year, and The Tackroom has become so much more than we could have imagined.
Growth and Milestones
Since opening, The Tackroom has achieved remarkable growth and community milestones, including:
- 7,500+ members in our Discord community.
- Truly custom horse breed models like our Spotted Draft Horse, Hanoverian, and American Quarter Horse
- Custom horse coats; so far featuring a spotted appaloosa, grey overo paint, and sorrel overo paint – with more to come! [Blog post soon to come to feature our newest coats]
- 100+ players online at nearly any given time, ensuring an active and lively environment.
- Recognition in Cfx.re’s September 2025 Server Spotlight, placing us among the standout communities across RedM.
Each milestone tells a story of people coming together, making connections, and sharing in the love of horses and the equestrian lifestyle.
Who We Are: An Equestrian Sandbox & Slice-of-Life Experience
Unlike traditional competitive or combat-focused servers, The Tackroom is designed as an equestrian sandbox. That means the focus is on creativity, relaxation, and immersion in the equestrian world.
Players here can:
-
Explore a thoughtfully built world centered on horses, stables, and equestrian life.
-
Build their own stories through slice-of-life experiences.
-
Connect with others who share a passion for horses and a slower-paced, community-driven environment.
This makes The Tackroom stand apart—it’s not about roleplay in the traditional sense, but about enjoying a world where equestrian culture is at the heart of everything.
A Thank You to Our Team and Community
This spotlight wouldn’t be possible without the tireless dedication of our staff team. From behind-the-scenes development to community management, the staff are the backbone of The Tackroom. They ensure the server continues to grow, thrive, and provide a welcoming environment for everyone.
Equally important are the members of our community. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning or joined just recently, you are the reason The Tackroom is alive and thriving. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and support are what make this space special.
And thank you Outsider for suggesting our community to be considered.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for The Tackroom
This recognition is not the end of the journey—it’s just the beginning. We have big updates and new features on the horizon, including:
-
The highly anticipated Oakfen x KD Stables update, which will expand the equestrian experience with new opportunities and features.
-
Additional community-driven updates that build on your feedback.
-
Continued development to ensure The Tackroom remains the premier equestrian sandbox server within RedM.
We’re only scratching the surface of what’s possible, and we’re more excited than ever about the future.
Closing Thoughts
Being featured in Cfx.re’s September 2025 Server Spotlight is a milestone worth celebrating. From the early days of testing and setup to a thriving community of thousands, The Tackroom has grown into something truly special.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey. This spotlight belongs to all of us—staff, players, and supporters alike. Together, we’ve built an equestrian sandbox that has not only captured the attention of Cfx.re but continues to capture the hearts of horse enthusiasts everywhere.
As we look ahead, we know the best is still to come. Thank you for making The Tackroom what it is today—we can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.
