Plans for a stand-alone single saddle rack?
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 djb -- Do the right thing.

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 ;^) \e "Lee Michaels" wrote in message news "Dave Balderstone" wrote In article , Oleg Lego wrote: Do tell!

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. Cliff |

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. Josh AlohaCliff wrote: So did you find any plans?

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?
