Saddle storage is something that all horse riders, stablehands and equestrian professionals need to take seriously. Improperly stored and cared for saddles will not only become a magnet for dust, dirt and mildew, they'll also become damaged or even lose their shape, making it more difficult to fit your horse correctly.
The solution comes in the form of a sturdy, stable and high quality saddle stand, rack, trolley or mount. Although resourceful horse owners may be able to fashion their very own DIY stable racks, there's really no substitute for a professional saddle and tack hanger. After a long day of riding, removing your saddle and hanging it out to air is going to ensure that you maintain a perfectly shaped saddle while also keeping it protected from any scuffs, scratches or more serious signs of wear that can occur from keeping it stored on the ground or strewn across a shelf.
From space-saving wall racks to portable saddle mates and even more traditional alternatives to suit your stable aesthetic, Waterman's Country Supplies offer a stunning selection of saddle storage solutions to cater to your size of stable and the space that is available to you. So if you're fed up with dented misshapen leather or saddles that aren't drying properly, it's time to take saddle storage seriously.
