I’m going to move most of my saddles (15 or so, some western, some English) into my home. I would like recommendations for multi saddle stands. All the ones at online tack stores look kinda cheesy. Are they stable enough not to fall over with western saddle weight? Are the metal-tube kind worth the price or should i have some made by a carpenter type person? Thanks for helping me out!
:eek: How many HORSES do you have?
Sorry, couldn’t stop myself*
*says the woman with 3 saddles & 1 riding horse…
IIWM, I’d Google pics of tackrooms from the Big Deal shows:
QH Congress
Arabian Nationals
H/J venues like Devon
Or high-end show barns.
See what people put up in the tack stalls/tackrooms.
Some - make that most - look nicer than my LR

i have 8 horses and two mules. I used to breed and only have Morgans. Then i decided to branch out. Now i only have one older Morgan mare and: a Missouri Foxtrotter, a bright bay pony mule (13.2), a gray Arabian, a palomino Curly Bashkir, a shiny-golden Akhal-teke sporthorse, a HUGE black Percheron, a bay Standardbred (colt), a buckskin QH (type…not quite sure his sire), and a big grulla dun Mule w/zebra striped knees. Needless to say, these are all quite different body types so all need their own saddle (or two

agree Morgans can use a lot of tack… ours each had a hunt saddle, a western show saddle, a trail saddle, harnesses and other stuff such as a dressage saddle for a few.
We made some racks using wood that leaned against the walls (requirement was needed since daughter took over the den for her tack room) but each rack would hold four or five saddles. Stability was not a problem.
Currently they are in the barn tack room, I will take a few photos later today

I have 3 of the adjustable rack ones that hold 4 saddles each. The base of each is kind of like a “T”. They are sturdy and not “tippy” at all. I have 2 in my tack room (in corners to save space) and one in the storage room of my shed. They’ve been great and I’m glad I bought them. My first saddle rack was a road sawhorse with the blinker on top. My sister and I snagged it one day (back in the 60’s) and chucked it in the back of our old station wagon. My father was MORTIFIED that we’d done this deed. It stayed in our basement with a bucket over the blinker (so nosy neighbors wouldn’t notice the constant blink). I still laugh when I think about it, but as a high school kid paying for her own horse/riding, I was on a really, really tight budget!

These are the ones I have in my 10x16 tack room. (http://www.cowboyway.com/HowTo/WoodSaddleRack01.htm) I love these! They work amazingly in small spaces! I have 6 of them.
similar to what we did but used two 2by4 as the verticals with a 45 degree kick out to pen the rack to the wall… completely portable, no anchoring to the wall required
