10 Hooks. Long Arms. Zero Tack Chaos.
The Easy-Up® Pro keeps your bridles, halters, and leads off the stall door and in perfect shape — even when every inch of your aisle is already spoken for. Built for real barns by people who actually use them.
Your Tack Deserves Better Than a Nail and a Prayer
Picture the tack room at six in the morning. The barn lights are still warming up, your coffee is somewhere you set it down and forgot, and you're pulling a bridle off a hook only to find two other bridles have folded themselves over it in the night. The reins are kinked from being crammed together, the browband is twisted at an angle that would take ten minutes to fix, and you have a lesson starting in twenty-two. This is not a small annoyance — this is the daily reality for most horse people, and it adds up to hours of wasted time and hundreds of dollars in leather damage every year.
The problem runs deeper than surface clutter. When tack hangs without adequate support — piled on short pegs, doubled over itself, or crammed onto a hook strip that was really designed for a mudroom — leather starts its slow death. Bridle cheekpieces develop permanent creases at the hook point. Reins lose their supple feel because they hang kinked rather than straight. Headstalls that should last fifteen years wear out in five because they spend most of their time folded the wrong way under their own weight and the weight of whatever else got stacked on top. The damage is invisible at first, and then one day you pick up a rein and it cracks.
In a working barn the logistics grind you down even faster. Multiple horses, multiple disciplines, multiple riders who each have their own system of where things go — or don't go. The barrel horse's headstall ends up mixed with the dressage bridle. Someone hangs the good show halter on the wet hook from the bath hose. A lead rope coiled around a peg because there was nowhere else for it slowly torques the leather it's resting against. Every workaround generates a new problem, and the hooks themselves are always the bottleneck: there are never enough of them, and the ones that exist are never quite long enough to hold a folded bridle properly without it slumping.
People try everything. They add extra screws to the wall and hang random S-hooks. They repurpose cup hooks from the hardware store, which pull free under any real weight. They buy multi-hook strips and find the hooks are spaced too close together so everything tangles anyway. They hang tack over stall doors, which means the leather gets gnawed or rubbed by the horse, or they lay things over sawhorses in the aisle, where they collect shavings and get knocked over. The right storage solution — enough hooks, long enough to actually support a bridle, rugged enough for daily barn use — turns out to be harder to find than it should be.
Every Day Without the Right Hook Is Costing You
The chaos in the tack room ripples into everything else. A bridle that takes two minutes to untangle instead of thirty seconds means you're late to warm up. Late to warm up means a rushed, distracted ride. A rushed ride is less productive, and if you're showing or training professionally, it shows in the ring. The downstream effects of poor tack storage are not dramatic — nobody blows a class because of a kinked rein — but they erode your margins of time, focus, and money in a slow, relentless way that serious horse people can't afford to ignore.
There is also an emotional weight to chronic barn disorder that doesn't get talked about enough. Horses are supposed to be the part of your day that restores you, not the part that adds stress before you even get in the saddle. When the first thing you do every morning is fight with a pile of tangled tack, the barn stops feeling like a refuge. You start moving faster and paying less attention, which is exactly when horses get hurt and people get hurt. A clean, organized barn where every piece of tack has a dedicated place is not a luxury — it is a safety practice.
And then there is the straightforward financial argument. A quality bridle costs anywhere from $80 to $800 or more. Conditioning and care extend its life by years. But conditioning can't undo the damage done by improper storage: leather that hangs kinked loses its flexibility; stitching stressed at fold points weakens faster than it should; hardware on crammed hooks gets scraped and pitted. If poor storage shortens the life of a single mid-range bridle by two years, you've already lost more than you'd spend on a storage solution that would last a decade. The math is not complicated.

Ten Long Arms. One Clean Wall. Every Piece of Tack in Its Place.
The Easy-Up® Pro 10 Hook Long Arm Tack Rack is the answer to every problem above — not a partial fix, not a workaround, but a purpose-built storage solution from a brand that has been making equestrian equipment since 1948. Ten individual hooks with 4.5-inch arms give you dedicated space for bridles, halters, leads, breast collars, and rope — enough capacity for a serious multi-horse operation on a wall footprint that fits even a compact trailer tack room or a crowded barn aisle.
The long-arm design is the thing that separates this rack from every cheap hook strip you've tried before. A 4.5-inch arm means a folded bridle sits fully supported, with the headstall opening rather than crumpling. Reins hang in a clean loop instead of collapsing on themselves. Leather stays in the shape it was designed to hold, which is the single most effective thing you can do to extend its life between conditioning sessions. The hooks are spaced to prevent contact between adjacent pieces of tack, so nothing tangles overnight and nothing rubs against its neighbor.
Mount it in the barn aisle, the tack room, the trailer, the wash rack — wherever you need organization most. The rack installs flat against the wall with standard hardware, takes up almost no depth, and holds real weight without flexing. Once it's up, the effect cascades through your whole routine: mornings are faster because you can see exactly what's where. Tack stays cleaner because it's not sitting on the floor or bunched together. Leather conditions better because it hangs correctly. Riders stop grabbing the wrong bridle because each hook is visually distinct and accessible.
Every Easy-Up® product is backed by a 7-year warranty, and the brand itself is backed by Schneiders Saddlery — founded in Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 1948, still family-owned three generations later, still shipping to all 50 states, and still standing behind every product we sell. If it doesn't work the way it should, we make it right. That's not a policy we invented for marketing — it's how we've been doing business for 78 years.

What Riders Are Saying
"
I have a six-stall barn with zero wall space to spare, and I was stacking bridles on the same three hooks I'd had since 2009. My daughter's OTTB had four different bridles — show, schooling, hack, and spare — and they were all tangled into one sad pile. I put up the Easy-Up® Pro last spring and finally gave every bridle its own arm. The 4.5-inch reach means nothing slides off even when my gelding bumps the wall during grooming. I wish I'd done this ten years ago.
""
My trailer tack room is roughly the size of a closet, and I was hanging everything off a single commercial hook strip that flexed every time I opened the door. Two bridles fell into the shavings on the drive to a cutting competition and I was done. Mounted the Easy-Up® Pro on the slant wall and it hasn't budged in 14 months across rough roads. My roping rope, two headstalls, and a breast collar all have individual hooks — no tangles, no mildew from things bunching together. Built like it means it.
""
Running a lesson program means fifteen sets of tack in rotation every single day. My old peg board was a rotating disaster — someone always grabbed the wrong bridle for the wrong horse, and the hooks were too short to keep reins from puddling on the floor. The long arms on this rack changed everything. Each bridle sits open rather than crumpled, the leather stays conditioned longer because it isn't folded, and my working students can actually tell at a glance what's hanging there. Worth every cent at this price point.

Built for the Way a Real Barn Actually Works
The Easy-Up® Pro isn't engineered for a showroom photo — it's engineered for six a.m. in January when you're doing everything one-handed. The hooks are substantial enough to hold a loaded headstall without flexing, spaced so tack doesn't contact its neighbors, and long enough that you can pull a bridle off with one smooth motion rather than working it loose from a tangle. At $49.99 for ten hooks with a 7-year warranty, this is one of the better cost-per-hook values in barn equipment.
The rack installs flat to the wall so it doesn't protrude into your aisle, which matters in any barn where horses move past the tack area. Whether you're mounting it on wood framing, a trailer wall, or a rubber-backed barn partition, the hardware pattern is straightforward and the unit sits flush once it's in. It's the kind of thing you install once, forget about, and quietly appreciate every single morning for the next decade.
