Abstract: A utility storage rack comprises a wall mount, mountable to a generally vertical wall, and a storage bed, removably and pivotally coupleable to the wall mount. The storage bed includes at least two components that are adjustable relative to one another to adjust a length of the storage bed. At least one leg is pivotally coupled to the storage bed, the at least one leg being adjustable in length to allow a height or a grade of the storage bed to be adjusted. At least one locking key is removably coupleable with the storage bed, the at least one locking key being coupleable to the storage bed to lock the at least one leg in a downwardly extending orientation, and coupleable to the storage bed to lock the at least one leg in a rotated position, nestable against the storage bed.

Abstract: A collapsible saddle rack with detachable legs is provided to enable easy transportation and compact storage. The saddle rack comprises an upper portion formed to support at least one saddle wherein the upper portion is collapsible. The saddle rack includes a lower portion comprising plurality of legs removably connected to the upper portion of the saddle rack wherein the lower portion is also collapsible. A connecting mechanism removably attaches the legs to the upper portion wherein the upper portion and lower portion occupy the least space in collapsed configuration. The connecting mechanism is configured to firmly connect the legs to the upper portion to prevent the removal of the legs from the upper portion and to provide stability to the saddle rack. The saddle rack enables easy transportation and compact storage due to easy assembling/disassembling and collapsible functionalities. The saddle rack is light weight, inexpensive and easy to manufacture.

Abstract: A saddle rack assembly includes a reciprocating assembly moveable between a deployed position and a collapsed position and a saddle rack coupled to a portion of the reciprocating assembly.

Abstract: A lightweight, portable saddle holder that takes up a minimal amount of space when not in use. The saddle holder includes a horizontally-oriented, U-shaped saddle horn retainer that defines a saddle horn pass-through. A fulcrum bracket extends down and forward from the bottom of the saddle horn retainer, below the saddle horn pass through. The saddle holder can be mounted to a support structure by hooking a pair of mounting arms that project from a rear of the saddle holder over a top edge of the support structure. The horn of a saddle is inserted upwardly, through the saddle horn pass-through, and the swell of the saddle is brought to rest on the fulcrum bracket. The saddle thereby acts as a lever atop the fulcrum bracket, with the horn of the saddle held by the saddle horn retainer, thus preventing the saddle from tipping forward off of the fulcrum bracket.

Abstract: A powered saddle rack can be mounted in a trailer tack room. A mounting rod rotates from a storage to a load/unload position. A working frame assembly further rotates to the load/unload position. Once in the load/unload position, a rack raising rod is lifted or lowered, thereby raising or lowering several saddle racks up and down. A portable version doesn't rotate.

Abstract: Heavy saddles can be loaded at waist height onto a vertical array of saddle racks. The vertical array is mounted on a central post containing a powered gear which lifts in sequence first the uppermost saddle rack and then each one below. A trailer model provides a swing out chassis for the central post with a load position and a storage position. A non-pivoting embodiment is shown. A retail store tree style lift rack is also shown as is a harness rack version.

Abstract: A saddle rack (1a) and system for storing equestrian equipment. The saddle rack (1a) may include suction cups (24) for attaching the rack (1a) to a suitable surface. In one embodiment, the suction cups (24) have quick-release mechanisms enabling the rack (1) to be easily moved and attached to surfaces in different locations. They may also allow rotation of the saddle rack (21), which may have an anatomic form. The system includes a container (3) within which, in one embodiment, the saddle rack (1a) may be located and stored. The saddle rack (1a) may also be attached to an exterior surface of the container (3). This container (3) or box may be provided with handles (8a, 8b) or wheels (12a, 12c) to transport the saddle rack (1a) and other horse tack as required.

Abstract: A saddle hanging system efficiently supporting a saddle in various locations. The saddle hanging system includes a support member comprised of a support plate having a catch member and first handle attached at a first end and a second handle attached at a second end. The support plate is a flattened V-shaped structure, formed to accept the placement of a saddle upon it. The catch member is U-shaped for positioning onto a fence or a connecting member. The handles located at each end are used for moving the support member from location to location or for adjusting when in place.

Abstract: A saddle rack assembly has a slide mechanism mounted to a support structure and capable of horizontal movement between an extended position and a retracted position.
