Get the Hose Off the Wash Stall Floor
The Easy-Up® Wide Diameter Hose Boom mounts overhead in your wash stall, swivels 180° so you can work both sides of your horse, and adjusts from 4.5' to 6.5' to fit most wash racks. Heavy-duty black powder-coated steel. Hose, nozzle, and mounting hardware sold separately.
The Problem
A Hose on the Ground Is an Accident Waiting to Happen
It’s 5:30 in the morning, and you’re trying to rinse the last streaks of shampoo from your horse before the day gets moving. The wash rack is wet, your horse shifts to follow the activity in the barn aisle, and the hose has already looped around your boot twice. You shorten your hold, step across to reach the other side, and feel the hose slide back underfoot. Instead of watching your horse’s expression and body language, you’re watching the floor.
Every horse owner who has bathed in a tight wash stall knows how quickly the hose becomes one more thing to manage. It drags through puddles, catches against a hoof, snags around the edge of the rack, and pulls tight just when you need another foot of reach. You’re holding a lead, controlling the spray, working around legs, and trying to keep your horse settled while repeatedly stopping to move a wet, heavy line out of the way.
That divided attention changes the entire rhythm of the bath. A routine rinse takes longer because each move from shoulder to hindquarter requires another round of pulling, lifting, and untangling. Your horse feels every abrupt stop and tug. A patient horse may grow restless; a young or reactive horse may step away from the movement around the legs. Meanwhile, the hose picks up bedding, hair, and wash-rack debris before being dragged across the floor again.
The problem isn’t that you need a different bathing routine or a more patient horse. The problem is that a floor-level hose works against the way you naturally move around your horse. Until the hose is supported above the wash area, it remains directly in the path of your boots, your horse’s feet, and every side-to-side move you make.

Why It Keeps Happening
When the Hose Is on the Ground, Your Focus Isn't on Your Horse
The problem isn’t you, and it isn’t your horse. You can coil the hose neatly before every bath, start with the perfect amount of slack, and move as carefully as possible. Once water is running and you begin circling from the neck to the barrel and hindquarters, gravity puts that loose hose back on the wash-rack floor.
A basic wall hook only stores the hose when you’re finished. A floor reel can organize excess length, but the working section still has to travel from the wall, across the wet floor, and around your horse. Even a narrow overhead guide can create another frustration if your existing hose or fittings do not pass through it. These options address storage, yet they may not address the moving length of hose you are actively using during the bath.
So the same cycle repeats. You pull the hose toward the near side, then need more length when you step across the front or move behind the shoulder. The line catches, you stop spraying, and your horse waits while you free it. If your horse steps on the hose, the flow may change or the nozzle may tug unexpectedly in your hand. If the hose slides near a fetlock, your attention immediately leaves rinsing and returns to clearing the floor. What should feel calm and methodical becomes a string of small corrections.
The usual workaround is to accept the interruption: use one hand to lift the hose, shorten your range, or ask someone else to manage the extra length. But those compromises do not change the underlying setup. As long as the hose enters the working area at floor level, you’re still asking yourself and your horse to work around it every time you switch sides.

- ✗Hose dragging on wet wash stall floors — a constant trip hazard for you and your horse
- ✗Wrestling tangled hoses while your horse shifts, spooks, or loses patience
- ✗A boom arm that doesn't reach across the width of your wash stall
- ✗Narrow tubing that won't accept your standard garden hose fittings
The Solution
Overhead. Out of the Way. Exactly Where It Should Be.
The Easy-Up® Wide Diameter Hose Boom changes the hose's path. Instead of leaving the working length across a wet wash-rack floor, it routes the hose through an overhead steel arm mounted above the wash area. The boom swivels 180 degrees, so the hose follows you from one side of your horse to the other while staying off the ground.
The arm adjusts and extends from 4.5 feet to 6.5 feet to meet the dimensions of most wash stalls. The tubing has a 1½-inch inside diameter and accommodates any standard size hose — which matters when you already own a hose and simply want to get it overhead. Before you install, confirm your mounting location and the reach you need.
The boom is built from heavy-duty black powder-coated steel. Hose, nozzle, and mounting hardware are not included, so you can match those components to the setup you already have.
Riders tell us the same three things: it went up easily, the metal is sturdier than they expected, and the hose stays off the floor. Your horse gets your attention instead of the floor, and you can change sides without treating the hose as a separate chore. A straightforward, horse-first improvement from a family-owned business trusted since 1948.

"I bought this hose boom for my new horse barn wash stall. It was very easy to install! If you're considering getting one, just get it I promise you won't regret it. It's made of very sturdy metal. At first I was worried when ordering it that it would be flimsy metal but it's not at all. It has very smooth motion during use. I definitely recommend this product."

What Makes This Boom Worth Every Penny
Most overhead hose booms are an afterthought — thin-gauge steel that flexes under the weight of a full hose or a pivot that stiffens after a season of use. The Easy-Up® is built from heavy-duty black powder-coated steel that holds firm and stays smooth. The 1.5" inside diameter means your standard garden hose connects directly — no hunting for reducer adapters. The 180° swivel is genuinely smooth right out of the box. The 4.5'–6.5' telescoping arm works in a narrow wash bay just as well as a spacious grooming aisle. Hose, nozzle, and mounting hardware are not included, but installation is straightforward — most riders have it up in under an hour with standard tools. At $109.99 against a $159.99 compare price, and backed by a 5-Year Warranty from a family-owned business, this is a barn upgrade that pays for itself in the first season.
