Turn Open Wall Space Into an Organized Home for Bulky Horse Gear
The Schneiders® Easy-Up® Pro Swinging 8 Arm Vertical Pad Rack keeps saddle pads, blankets, sheets, and coolers separated and accessible.

When Saddle Pads and Blankets Outgrow Ordinary Hooks
Every active barn knows how quickly this happens. English pads, Western pads, sheets, coolers, and blankets all take up more room than expected, especially when several pieces are in regular rotation. Folding everything into a pile may clear the aisle for the moment, but it makes the next item harder to find. Hanging multiple pieces on one hook is not much better. You end up lifting, unfolding, and rearranging gear simply to reach the pad your horse needs for the next ride.
The real cost is the steady drain on your barn routine. You lose minutes searching before a lesson, move bulky blankets whenever you need something underneath, and spend time rebuilding stacks that slide out of place. Damp or warm pads may sit pressed against other gear instead of getting space between uses. Your horse’s equipment deserves an orderly place where each piece can hang separately, and you deserve a setup that does not create another chore every time you untack.
This is not a matter of owning too much gear or failing to keep a tidy barn. Most basic tack-room storage simply was not designed around the depth, weight, and daily rotation of saddle pads and blankets. Without dedicated arms and practical spacing, clutter returns almost as soon as you put everything away.

Stacks and Shared Hooks Make Every Gear Change More Work
A single wall hook concentrates several pieces in one crowded spot. A shelf requires pads to be folded or stacked, which means the item you need is often underneath something heavier. A fixed bar may provide room for one blanket, but adding more layers limits the space between them. Even improvised solutions such as stall doors, trunk lids, and saddle racks take over surfaces that already have another purpose. The storage method creates the same cycle: move one piece, retrieve another, then reorganize everything that was disturbed.
That cycle becomes especially aggravating when your schedule is tight. Before a lesson or early-morning haul, you do not want to sort through several nearly identical pads to find the right one. After riding, you should not have to choose between leaving gear in the aisle and adding it to a crowded stack. When blankets and coolers enter the seasonal rotation, the tack room can feel smaller overnight. Equipment begins migrating to door fronts, rails, and any open corner, making an orderly barn harder to maintain.
Buying another bin or adding a few more hooks only spreads the same problem across more places. You still lack one dedicated system that separates several large pieces while keeping each one visible. Until the storage itself matches the shape and routine of equestrian gear, straightening the tack room remains a temporary reset rather than a lasting solution.
- ✗Saddle pads become difficult to find when folded into shifting stacks.
- ✗Blankets, sheets, and coolers crowd hooks and take over useful surfaces.
- ✗Warm gear has limited room for airflow when pressed against other items.
- ✗Reaching one piece can mean moving and rearranging everything around it.

Swinging Arms Give Each Piece a Dedicated Place
Its construction is anchored in published, practical measurements. The rack has a heavy-duty 1 1/4-inch frame and eight 28-inch arms made from 3/4-inch-thick rods. The bars are spaced 4.5 inches apart, providing defined positions for multiple pieces instead of forcing them onto one hook. At 42 inches high, 29 inches deep, and 5 1/4 inches wide, the frame creates eight storage levels in a compact wall footprint. Included screws support permanent wall installation.
The Gray Armor rust-resistant finish is designed for barn conditions, and the rack is backed by a seven-year warranty. For your horse, that organized spacing means pads and blankets have a designated place between uses rather than being compressed into a pile. You can keep the gear used against your horse’s back separate, visible, and easier to select before the next ride. Heavier blankets, sheets, and coolers can join the same system without taking over your trunk or barn aisle.
For you, the payoff is a tack room that works with your routine. Swing out the arm you need, take the right pad, and return it to the same place after riding. There is less reshuffling, fewer mystery piles, and no need to sacrifice several scattered hooks to one category of gear. The vertical format is especially useful when open wall width is limited but you still need capacity for eight pieces.
It is a straightforward storage solution built around the real dimensions of equestrian equipment, not a generic household organizer pressed into barn duty. Backed by equine expertise and Trusted since 1948, it brings durable, horse-first organization to the gear you use every day.
