Tack Room & Stable Aisle: Space for All Your Kit
Tack Room & Stable Aisle are the places where saddles, bridles, rugs, headcollars and helmets pile up. With the right holders and cabinets, every item gets its own fixed place. With us you will find stainless steel headcollar and lead rope holders, helmet holders, a horse passport cabinet with ten compartments, carrying baskets and a measuring stick to measure your horse's height.
Organisation that protects your kit
Leather and textiles last much longer when they are stored properly. A saddle needs a correctly shaped rack so the panels do not get squashed, and a bridle is best hung over a rounded holder rather than on a nail. Rugs and saddle pads dry much faster on swing arms than when screwed up in a heap. Headcollars and lead ropes hang ready to hand next to the box, and the helmet is protected from knocks on a helmet holder.
Papers and small items safely stored
On livery yards with many horses, documents build up too. A lockable cabinet with compartments keeps the horse passports of all owners together, so they are quickly to hand for a vet visit or an inspection. A carrying basket takes grooming kit and small items with you on the way to the grooming area. With the measuring stick you can check your horse's height at the withers when choosing the right rug or a new saddle.
Frequently asked questions
How do I prevent mould in the tack room?
Mould develops mainly where there is damp and still air. Air the tack room regularly, let wet leather dry before you put it away and care for it with a suitable leather balm. On holders set slightly away from the wall, air can circulate.
Where is the best place to keep the horse passport?
The passport should be kept dry, safe and within easy reach, because you need to be able to show it for transport and veterinary treatment. In the stable, a lockable cabinet with compartments is ideal. Many owners also keep it at home and take it along when needed.
How do I measure my horse's height correctly?
Stand your horse on level ground so it is square on all four legs. Place the measuring stick vertically next to the front leg and rest the arm on the highest point of the withers. This gives you a reliable reading.
Setting up the tack room and stable aisle
A well organised tack room saves you time every single day. So that rugs and saddle pads dry quickly after riding, there are holders with swing arms for the wall and stable door, which you will find under Rug Holders. For saddles, Saddle Racks & Carts offers wall racks, folding models and mobile saddle stands. If you want to store your kit safely and free of dust, take a look at Tack Lockers, from large cabinets to top units. Bridles, headcollars and lead ropes hang neatly on Bridle Racks, so the leather keeps its shape for longer.
