Five Saddles. Zero Floor Space. One Rack That Goes Where You Go.
The Easy-Up® Pro 5 Tier Drop Down Saddle Rack collapses flat for trailer travel and expands to hold every saddle in your barn — English or Western — on one wall-mounted system. Backed by a 7-year warranty and 78 years of Schneiders Saddlery expertise since 1948.
Your Tack Room Is Running Out of Room — and Your Saddles Are Paying for It
Walk into most working tack rooms and you'll see the same thing — saddles draped over sawhorses, flung across stall doors, balanced on folding chairs that wobble with every draft. If you're lucky, there's a single wooden wall rack screwed in at some angle that was probably temporary three years ago. The saddle that cost you $2,000 sits with its tree pressing into a two-by-four edge because there isn't a better option in reach. You tell yourself you'll sort it out after the next show. That show was in April, and the saddle is still on the sawhorse.
What you can't see from the doorway is the cumulative damage. A saddle left sitting wrong for weeks develops pressure points in the tree — invisible at first, then permanent. Leather that doesn't breathe properly against a wall or a piece of fabric develops mold on the underside where you never think to check. Billets stretch unevenly when a saddle hangs lopsided for weeks at a time. None of this shows up as a dramatic tear or a visible crack. It shows up as a saddle that fits your horse a little differently than it used to, or a strange creak that the saddle fitter looks at and shakes her head over. The damage is quiet, slow, and expensive to reverse.
On a Tuesday morning when you're trying to pull the right saddle for a 6am ride, navigating around a pile of pads, buckets, and improperly stored tack is a real-time cost. You move the trail saddle to get to the dressage saddle. You move the show pad to set the trail saddle somewhere. You spend four minutes doing what should take thirty seconds. Multiply that by 365 days and you've lost close to 25 hours a year — more than three full working days — just fighting your own tack room. That doesn't count the time you spend dreading it before you even open the door.
You've tried things. A basic wooden peg rack from the hardware store that started pulling away from the wall when you put real weight on it. A single-saddle wall bracket that worked fine until you had two saddles and then immediately didn't. Stackable plastic saddle stands that tipped if a barn cat breathed on them wrong. Maybe you went the other direction and bought a second sawhorse, because at some point you stopped expecting a real solution and started managing the chaos instead. The options on the market have felt either too flimsy, too single-purpose, or too expensive for what you actually get. The gap between what horse people need and what most tack room equipment delivers has been frustrating for a long time.
Every Day This Stays Unsolved, Your Investment Keeps Losing Ground
A disorganized tack room doesn't stay contained to the tack room. It spills into your rides, your preparation, your relationship with barn help. When saddles aren't stored where they belong, pads don't get hung to dry properly, bridles get tangled in things they shouldn't touch, and the whole barn routine slows down. You notice it especially on show days, when you need to move fast and the room fights you at every step. The problem multiplies with every saddle you add, every season that passes without a real infrastructure fix. What starts as a minor inconvenience becomes the background hum of a barn that never quite runs the way you want it to.
There's a particular frustration that comes from knowing you care deeply about your horses and your equipment, and still feeling like the tack room is running on chaos. It's not laziness — you've tried to fix it. It's that the solutions available have been under-engineered for how real horse people actually use a barn. A rack designed for a catalog photo doesn't account for a wet Ohio winter, a multi-day trailer move, or five different saddle sizes on one wall. You deserve equipment that keeps up with how you actually work, not equipment that makes you adjust your workflow to its limitations.
The numbers are worth running honestly. A good custom saddle runs $2,000 to $6,000. Improper storage that stresses the tree or traps moisture can cut years off that saddle's life — or quietly warp the fit until a saddle fitter tells you it's not correctable without significant cost. Budget even $500 in premature saddle wear or refitting costs over five years, and the math on a proper rack system becomes straightforward. Beyond the saddles themselves, there's the cost of the workarounds — the second sawhorse, the peg boards that don't hold weight, the wooden bracket that needs replacing every two years. The problem isn't the upfront cost of doing this right. The problem is the ongoing cost of not doing it.
- ✗Saddles stored improperly develop tree pressure points and uneven billet stretch
- ✗Daily tack room navigation wastes 20–25 hours per year in lost time
- ✗Makeshift solutions — sawhorses, single brackets, plastic stands — keep failing and need replacing
- ✗Disorganization compounds: when saddles are wrong, pads, bridles, and prep routines all suffer
The Easy-Up® Pro Was Built by Horse People, for Barns That Actually Work
The Easy-Up® Pro 5 Tier Drop Down Saddle Rack is the answer to every makeshift tack room fix you've settled for. It holds five saddles — English, Western, or a mix — on a single wall-mounted system that folds completely flat when you don't need it. That means it works in a home barn, in a boarding facility with shared wall space, and in your trailer tack room. One purchase, every situation covered, without having to choose between storage capacity and available space.
The drop-down design is the key mechanic: each of the five tier arms pivots individually on heavy-duty steel hardware, so you can deploy one arm or all five depending on what you're storing that day. Three different hanging configurations let you mount it on a wall stud, a stall door, or overhead support — wherever your barn's layout makes the most sense. When folded flat it takes up less than three inches of depth against the wall. Each arm locks in the down position so saddles can't shift or slide, and the whole unit is built from heavy-gauge powder-coated steel that won't flex under a full rack load or rust out after two wet seasons.
The practical cascade is immediate. Five saddles off the floor means five saddles stored correctly, breathing properly, not pressing against anything they shouldn't. Your pads go where pads belong. The path to your cross-ties is clear. The barn helper who comes twice a week can find the right saddle on the first pass. On show mornings, you open the tack room door and the saddle you need is right there, on a proper arm, in good condition. Every other part of your barn routine gets a little easier when the foundation is right.
Every Easy-Up® Pro comes backed by a 7-year warranty and the full weight of Schneiders Saddlery's 78-year track record in equestrian retail. We've been in Chagrin Falls, Ohio since 1948 — third-generation family ownership, horses in the family, not just in the catalog. When we put our name on a piece of barn equipment, it's already been evaluated by people who use tack rooms daily, not just photographed in one. If it fails under normal barn conditions within seven years, we make it right. That's not a marketing line. That's how family businesses stay family businesses for three generations.

How We Stack Up

Built to the Standard a Working Barn Actually Demands
The Easy-Up® Pro isn't a showroom rack built to photograph well. The heavy-gauge steel construction is spec'd for actual barn conditions — humidity, daily weight cycling as saddles rotate in and out, and the incidental bumps of a working horse operation. Each arm's pivot hardware is engineered for tens of thousands of open-and-close cycles without loosening. The powder-coat finish handles the moisture swings of a real barn without rusting out in the first two seasons the way cheaper painted steel inevitably does. Every component was chosen because it holds up, not because it shaves cost.
At $229.99, the Easy-Up® Pro sits at the working end of premium — you're buying a seven-year solution, not a rack you'll replace in two. It ships to all 50 states and arrives with mounting hardware included, ready to go on your wall or your trailer in under an hour. If you're managing multiple horses, multiple disciplines, or a shared tack room with other boarders, this is the infrastructure that makes every other part of your barn routine run cleaner, faster, and without the daily low-grade frustration of equipment that isn't up to the job.
