The shape is usually modelled on a saddle to ensure optimum support.

Saddle stand: Practical saddle rack for the stable

A saddle stand is a rack that has been specially developed for storing saddles. Saddle racks are suitable for storing saddles neatly while protecting the saddle leather. Many saddle racks can be folded up to save space when not in use.

Saddle racks are available in different colours (e.g. black, silver, green, white and blue) and are made from different materials such as steel, wood or metal. In most cases, a saddle stand is shaped like a saddle to ensure optimum storage and a secure hold for the saddle. 

Storing the saddle on the ground should be avoided at all costs to prevent damage to the saddle tree and the saddle leather. At Alfako, we sell a saddle stand in three different colours and two different materials to protect your saddle from wear and tear.

What types of saddle racks are there?

There are 5 different types of saddle racks: saddle racks for one saddle, saddle racks for several saddles, swivelling saddle racks, saddle racks with a bridle holder and saddle racks with integrated storage.

We present the types of saddle racks below.

• Saddle stand for one saddle: There is space for one saddle on a small, simple saddle stand. Most saddle stands for one saddle are foldable.
• Saddle stand for several saddles: Saddle stands for several saddles can hold 2 to 4 saddles. With a large saddle stand, the holders for the saddles are positioned on top of each other to save space when storing the stand. 
• Swivelling saddle stand: With a swivelling saddle stand, the individual shelves for the saddles can be turned to the side to make it easier to reach the saddles.
• Saddle stand with bridle holder: A saddle stand with bridle holder is also equipped with hooks that allow saddles and bridles to be stored in one place at the same time.
• Saddle stand with integrated shelf: A saddle stand with an integrated shelf allows horse owners to store saddles and accessories such as blankets, grooming kit or riding equipment.

How big are saddle racks?

Saddle stands are between 55 and 175 cm high and between 50 and 76 cm long. The size of the saddle stand varies depending on how many saddles can be placed on the stand and how much additional equipment can be stored. The more saddles are stored on the stand, the higher it is.

If the saddle stand has an additional storage option for riding equipment under the saddle holder, this stand is usually wider than saddle stands without storage. If you opt for a saddle stand with swivelling arms, please note that the arms require sufficient space on both sides.

What are the advantages of saddle racks?

The advantages of saddle racks are that they are easy to assemble, allow the saddles to be stored properly and are robust, flexible and foldable. In addition, saddle racks offer a certain degree of organisation, have many uses and protect the saddle.

The following list describes the advantages of saddle racks in detail.

• Easy to install: Saddle stands are quick and easy to assemble, as they are either simply unfolded and set up or assembled in a few simple steps.
• Enable proper storage: Saddle stands allow you to store your saddles properly and in many cases offer additional storage space for riding accessories.
• Robust: Saddle stands are robust, as the stable and non-slip feet and the solid construction prevent the saddle stand from tipping over. The robustness of the saddle stand therefore ensures a long service life for the stand and saddle.
• Flexible: Saddle stands are flexible because they can be set up anywhere, adapted to any type of saddle and can be stored anywhere to save space. Saddle stands can be used in the stable and at competitions.
• Foldable: Saddle racks are collapsible, which is why they can be folded up when not in use, thereby saving space. The foldable function makes the saddle racks mobile for transport.
• Offer order: Saddle racks help to keep things tidy, as they ensure that there is no chaos in the tack cupboard or tack room due to saddles lying around.
• Have many possible uses: Saddle racks have many uses, as they are not only suitable for storing saddles, but also for storing them while the saddle is being cleaned.
• Protect the saddle: Saddle stands protect the saddle, as the saddle stand protects the saddle material and prevents the leather on the saddle from wearing down.

Where do you put saddle racks?

Saddle stands are placed in the grooming area or in the stable corridor when in use and in the saddle cupboard or tack room when not in use. The location of the saddle stand is flexible due to its low weight, but should be well ventilated to avoid moisture on the saddle. 

Unlike saddle racks, saddle stands are not attached to the wall, but stand firmly on the ground. Thanks to its foldable function and flexible set-up, the saddle stand can also be used at tournaments, as it is ideal for transport in the car/horse trailer and for cleaning the saddle.

Who needs saddle racks?

A saddle stand is needed by horse owners who want to store their saddle properly on a rack and not on the ground. Saddle racks as an addition to the stable are particularly suitable for riders to make it easier to access, store, wash and repair saddles.

Stable owners also need saddle racks to enable the tidy storage of saddles for different riders. Saddle racks are important for grooms and stable assistants to avoid chaos and damage in the tack room. Riding schools need saddle racks to keep the many saddles for school horses organised and hygienic.
