A saddle that sits on bare metal bars day after day can pick up dents and pressure points in its panels.
The Schneiders Stretch-N-Protect Saddle Rack Cover slips over your rack and puts a 1-inch foam layer between the bars and the underside of your English or Western saddle. Its soft 4-way stretch Lycra pulls on by hand like a sleeve, with nothing to tie or fasten.
Pick the fit that matches your rack: Flat for racks with the pommel support away from the wall, or Pommel for racks with the pommel support on the wall side. The outer is 6.5 oz Lycra over a foam-filled top layer, in Black. Hand wash and line dry.
This Stretch-N-Protect Saddle Rack Cover is an easy-to-use slip-on cover for your saddle rack. The exterior is soft, 4-way stretch spandex material, making it easy to slide onto your saddle rack. The interior has a 1" foam-filled top layer for protection from saddle rack bar indentations happening to the underside of your English or Western saddles. Adding this saddle rack cover to your current saddle racks is an easy and affordable way to protect your expensive investments!

"These saddle racks and padded covers were a total level-up when renovating my tack room! Saddles are a big investment, and these are an easy way to protect them. I think the racks and covers took a total of 5 minutes to install? And they’re affordable! Would absolutely buy again."
"It fits great and provides just the right amount of cushion for our saddles."
"I have a wide dressage saddle and the racks at my boarding barn don't really hold it securely. It will slip to one side or the other. I thought I would try this instead of cutting up pool noodles to place over the saddle rack bars. Although it doesn't exactly fit symmetrically over the rack, it does the job and keeps my saddle secure and centered on the rack. Pics show the type of rack at my barn, and then the final result."
"For as much money as we spend on our saddles, I want to make sure they stay nice! I got these pads for my saddle racks and I really like them because it allows me to use the saddle rack I want with peace of mind."
"The rack cover protects the fleece underside of my western saddle"
"On its own, one might not be thick enough. But buy two, one over the other and you’re golden! At $69. 99 for 2, you’re still much cheaper than the thick saddle mattress original brand and works just as well. @schneiders, I’d love a second set for my new saddle, I should get a promo for my innovation haha"
"The covers are easy to put on, but I was expecting a heavier/thicker foam for the padding. It helps keep the flocking from compressing, but not as much as I would have liked"
"Great products and incredible customer service!"
"These are amazing! I have always used a self made pad. I found these and they were super expensive so I went for it. I’m so pleased with them!"
"I was always concerned that the bars of my old saddle rack were wearing against the fleece of my western saddle and I could see areas where the bars were rubbing. When I saw the padded saddle rack from Schneiders,I decided to give it a try. What did I have to lose. The price is very affordable. Well, I really like it. It fits my new saddle rack also from Schneiders and hold the saddle securely and softly against the underside fleece. The rack cover is a no-brainer to put on."
