Stubbs Saddle Rack Folding Pole S18P

Stubbs Saddle Rack Folding Pole S18P - Wall-Mounted Folding Saddle Rack

The Stubbs Saddle Rack Folding Pole S18P is a wall-mounted saddle rack whose pole folds back against the wall when it is not carrying a saddle. In a narrow tack room, a passageway or a horsebox that makes a real difference: a fixed rack is something to catch a hip or a rug on every time you walk past, while a folded pole sits flat out of the way.

With the pole down, the saddle is supported along the line of its panels rather than resting on a narrow point, so the tree is not stressed and the panels are not squashed out of shape. Racks like this are the reason a saddle stored for years still sits correctly on a horse's back.

Performance & Benefits

• Pole folds flat to the wall when not in use, freeing up a tight walkway
• Supports the saddle along its panels rather than on a narrow point
• Helps the saddle keep its shape and the panels their flocking
• Keeps saddles off the floor, out of the dust and away from damp
• Well suited to horseboxes, trailers and narrow tack rooms where space is short

Suitable For

• Tack rooms, saddle rooms and stable walls
• Horseboxes, trailers and lorry tack areas
• Narrow passageways and doorways where a fixed rack would be in the way
• Storing general purpose, jumping, dressage and endurance saddles
• Cleaning tack, where the saddle needs holding at working height

How to Use

• Fit at a height where a saddle can be lifted on and off comfortably
• Confirm the wall is sound and suitable for a load-bearing fitting before drilling
• Fixings may be needed and must be matched to the wall construction; if in doubt, use a competent fitter
• Fold the pole fully down and check it is properly in position before setting a saddle on it
• Place the saddle centrally, front to back, so its weight spreads along the pole
• Fold the pole back up when the rack is empty to keep the walkway clear

Care & Caution

• Wipe clean and keep dry; dry the pole before a saddle goes back on it
• Check the fixings and the folding pivot regularly and keep the pivot free-moving
• Do not stand on the pole, hang off it, or use it as a step
• Never use as a tie point for a horse
• Always check the pole is fully down and secure before loading a saddle onto it
• Fit clear of doorways and head height so a folded pole cannot be walked into
