A web search turned up a couple of pics (this one's a beaut:
http://www.lynchcustomwoodworking.com/mapmah%20saddle%20rack.htm),
but no plans per se. Can anyone point me in a fruitful direction?

Pay is fine, so is free.

If I was building one I wouldn't be asking, but this is for a colleague
who's about 2,000 klicks away.

T'nx

Looks nice David. Are you going to make something similar, the same or
radically different than the one shown on the page above?

I haven't seen any that nice before. Most of the sadfdle racks I have seen
had been made from poles in the old, rustic western pole construction model.
Would such a narrow saddle rack tip over if you were to throw a saddle on it
or take it off?

Shouldn't be a problem. Typically you set the saddle down on top and lift it
up the same way - keeps the stirrups and riggin from hanging. I use the fold
up racks and I don't think they are any wider at the base than the one in
the picture.

Might make one of these except a little narrower. If it tips over easily it
should dissuade the kids from riding the saddle when it's on the rack ;^)

Thanks. Looks real nice. I am still debating whether to do a
standalone or build some into the wall.

So did you find any plans? I like the one in the picture you had a
link to, but I'm curious how high the center piece extends above the
rest of the body.

No. Once my colleague said the pic was enough, I stopped looking.

Depends on your saddle. I think 2.5" is pretty standard, but your best
bet would be to measure your horse at his withers, and then just behind
his withers. If your saddle fits him make the rack to match.

I made one for a good friend who rides hunter-jumpers. It is a
little different. We call it the "horse of a different color".
She thinks we should maybe go into business - what do you think?

You could serve the clown niche.

Yes, it would.

You could also place your saddle on a sawhorse and see what sort of
gap is under the horn.

Not necessarily ... it depends on the style of saddle. The one in the
picture appears to have been made for an English, or hunt seat saddle and
tipping over would not be a problem.
