I’m looking for some sort of stall front storage at my barn. I’d mostly like to keep all of my mare’s blankets together in one place as they’ve been migrating around the barn.
I’ve seen a few options at Schneiders and Big Ds, anyone use those?
I use the rubber covered stall chains to hang blankets on my stalls. These: https://www.horseloverz.com/horse-barn-stable-supplies-equipment/horse-stall-supplies/stall-guards-stall-gates-stall-doors/stall-guard-chain-rubber
I can put twine at the ends, a double end snap on each end, and hang one loosely. I can fit whichever of the sheet, medium and heavy each horse is not currently wearing on them. Plus, the price is right. I bought them for my whole barn in my barn colors. And they are safe, with the twine, should something get stuck in them. I like the uniform appearance as well. If you have a ton of blankets you can hang two and double up. Also, since you are a boarder you can just unsnap it if you ever need to change barns. Not that you will, your barn seems great.
That’s an idea! I think I might have one in a trunk somewhere. I tried it out with my gelding who got down on his knees and crawled out from under it. Jerk.
My stall is right on the end and I’m concerned that someone delivering hay would hit it, which is why I want something I can take off.
We use resin patio/pool storage boxes, the kind people use on pool decks to store patio furniture cushions, pool toys, etc. Check out Walmart.com, inexpensive, many sizes, light weight.

A lot of people in my barn use these:

They work like a charm, can be rolled out of the way for hay delivery, and are excellent for horse shows!
A bunch of us at the barn where I board got Tough 1 blanket bags from State Line Tack to hang on the front of our stalls. They come in about 5 different colors and personalization is free. Run about $16. They are quite a good size and it will hold two size 90 blankets.
Size 90??!!!
Yep, huge blankets…hehe. My horses wear 76 and I can fit two blankets and a sheet in the blanket bag.
