Your Stall, Finally Under Control
The Easy-Up® 20" Basket & Tack Rack turns a chaotic grooming station into a clean, reach-and-grab setup in under five minutes — heavy-duty powder-coated steel, three tack hooks, and mounting hardware included.
Every Barn Aisle Has That One Stall You Dread Walking Into
You know the stall. Fly spray on the ground, cap half-off from the last time it tipped over. Brushes scattered across the rubber mat — the soft face brush that cost twelve dollars is sitting in a corner with a dried manure smear on it. The halter is draped over the top board because there's nowhere else to put it, and the lead rope has slithered off the hook into the shavings for the third time this week. Your horse is standing in the middle of all of it, shifting weight, ready to work — and you're spending the first five minutes of your barn time doing archaeology.
This is not a minor inconvenience. A disorganized stall is a slow tax on every single day you spend with your horse. You don't notice it in the moment because you've adapted — you've learned to keep the fly spray in your left jacket pocket, to put the hoof pick on the window ledge, to hang the brushes on the door handle. But those workarounds add up. Every item you have to hunt for, every thing that's in a slightly different spot than yesterday, every time you have to put down what you're holding to go find something else — that's friction. And friction, day after day, quietly makes barn chores feel harder than they should.
The daily grind looks like this: You arrive at the barn with a plan — groom, longe, maybe a short flat school, have your horse put away before dark. Instead, the hoof pick has been kicked under the water bucket. The spray bottle is on its side behind the hay net. You grab the wrong brush from the pile on the mat, realize it's caked, go find a replacement, come back to discover your horse has stepped on the lead rope. Fifteen minutes have evaporated and you haven't started yet. This is not because you're disorganized. It's because the stall gives you nowhere to put things where they'll actually stay.
You've tried the obvious fixes. The plastic hook-over-the-door organizer that cracked in the first hard freeze. The canvas tote bag that got chewed through in under a month. The magnetic strip that only works on one specific type of stall hardware. The milk crate on the floor that becomes a tripping hazard and collects shavings faster than you can clean it. Each solution solved part of the problem for part of the year — or for one horse — before creating a new problem of its own. After a while you stop trying and just accept the chaos as the cost of having horses. It doesn't have to be.
A Messy Stall Costs You More Than Just Time
The ripple effects of a disorganized stall reach further than most people realize. When your tools don't have a home, things get damaged. Fly spray that lives on the ground gets stepped on, cracked, or knocked over and drained. Brushes left on rubber mats absorb dirt, lose their shape, and need to be replaced twice as often as brushes that are stored properly. A halter draped over a stall board gets chewed on, stretched, or pulled off in the middle of the night by a bored horse. You're not just losing time — you're slowly replacing inventory that should last years, at fifteen to thirty dollars a pop, because nothing has a dedicated place to live.
There's an emotional cost too, and it's worth naming. Barn time is supposed to restore you. Most horse people will tell you that grooming and feeding and just being around their horse is the best part of their day — the part that brings them back to themselves after whatever else is happening. But a chaotic stall turns that time from restorative into frustrating. You come in tired from work, wanting to decompress, and you immediately have to problem-solve. You're irritated before you've even put a hand on your horse. That irritation doesn't stay in a box — horses read it, and a tense human makes for a tense horse. The environment shapes the interaction, and a disorganized environment shapes it poorly.
And then there's what people spend trying to patch the problem. The average horse owner cycles through two or three organizational "solutions" a year — budget between twenty and sixty dollars each time — before giving up or finding something that actually works. That's sixty to two hundred dollars a year spent on organizers that crack, corrode, collapse, or get destroyed by the horse, none of which addresses the root cause: the stall doesn't have a durable, properly positioned place to put essential daily items. A one-time investment in something built to last — mounted correctly, at the right height, with the right hooks — pays for itself in the first season.

Everything Within Reach. Nothing on the Floor. Ready in Five Minutes.
The Easy-Up® 20" Basket & Tack Rack exists to solve exactly this problem — not with a complicated system, not with a dozen parts to assemble, but with one well-built piece of hardware that goes up fast and handles everything you need at a grooming station. At $59.99 with a 5-year warranty, it is built to outlast every plastic organizer, canvas bag, and makeshift hook arrangement you've tried. It is an Easy-Up product — Schneiders' own private label for barn and stable equipment — designed by people who understand what a stall actually looks like at 6:30 in the morning.
Here's how it works: the 20-inch wire basket mounts directly to your stall door using the included mounting screws, or zip ties securely around stall bars for temporary setups at shows or away events. The basket is 20 inches long, 6 inches tall, and 5.5 inches deep — wide enough to hold a full-size spray bottle, a set of brushes, polo wraps, a first-aid kit, or whatever combination your daily routine requires. Three heavy-duty tack hooks extend from the bottom of the frame, each strong enough to hold a halter and lead rope together without bending. The whole unit is constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a black powder-coat finish that resists rust, doesn't crack in cold weather, and won't degrade in UV. There are no moving parts. Nothing to adjust. You mount it, you put your things in it, and it stays that way.
The cascade of benefits is immediate. Your spray bottle is at hand height, not on the floor. Your halter has a hook. Your brushes are sorted in the basket where you put them last night, exactly where you left them. You walk into the stall, your horse is ready, and you start working without the warm-up round of archaeology. At shows, it zip-ties to temporary stall bars and comes down in seconds — same organized setup you have at home, wherever you are. Barn managers who outfit multiple stalls report that the consistency of the setup reduces the time every groom and rider spends orienting themselves in an unfamiliar stall, which compounds across a busy show barn into meaningful time savings every day.
Schneiders has been supplying working horse people since 1948 — 78 years out of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, third generation, family-owned. That history matters for a product like this because it means the 5-year warranty is backed by a company that will still be here in five years. When you buy an Easy-Up product, you're buying from a brand that private-labels its own barn equipment because it wasn't satisfied with what else was available at the price point. If the rack doesn't perform, we make it right. That's not a marketing line — it's how we've kept customers for decades.

The Details That Make the Difference
The basket dimensions — 20" L x 6" H x 5½" D — were chosen deliberately. Twenty inches gives you room to store a full-size fly spray, a set of four brushes, and a roll of polo wraps without overcrowding, while staying narrow enough not to interfere with stall door hardware or block the door's swing arc. The 5.5-inch depth keeps items visible and reachable without tipping — no digging to the bottom of a deep bin. The powder-coat finish is applied over the welded wire frame after assembly, which means every joint and edge is covered, not just the flat surfaces. That's what keeps rust from starting at the weld points where bare-metal finishes typically fail first in a barn environment.
The three tack hooks are welded directly to the bottom rail of the frame — not bolted on as an afterthought, not pressed in with a friction fit. Each hook has a slight upward curve at the tip to keep items from sliding off when a horse bumps the door or when it's mounted on a show stall that gets knocked around during setup. The included mounting hardware is appropriate for wood stall doors; for metal or pipe stall fronts, the zip-tie method is straightforward and holds the basket just as securely. Either way, installation is a five-minute job with a screwdriver or a handful of zip ties — no drill required for most wood doors, no special tools at all for the zip-tie method.
