Best way to store saddles at home?

[painted ponies]

Ive finally brought my saddles home as am not riding at the minute. I only rent a room so am not able to put saddle racks up so what would be the best way to store my saddles in the long term?

The way I normally would be pommel and front of knee roll on the floor type thing but this seems to kind of bend the front of the knee rolls on my jumping saddles and they are nice soft frence leather so dont really want to ruin them. Any other creatove suggestiones much appreciated!

I would stand it the way you have described. Not much else you can do if you cant put a saddle rack up anywhere.

Have you got room for a free standing saddle stand? Or you could buy an old fashioned free standing wooden towel rail, dirt cheap in 2nd hand shops, or on the back of a chair maybe.

I have mine on a saddle stand in the smaller and very messy spare room

Thats a good idea. The stand could double up as something to put the odd jumper on too or something similar.

do you have your 'own' bannisters? I used to put mine on there till got a rack. how bout moving the bed off the wall a bit and putting it on the headboard?

I agree - bannisters are a god send for saddle storing (just dont tell my parents that it is a long term storage place )

mine lasted for years on the bannisters!! that was till my sister developed an allergy to horses and refused to go upstairs past it! suited me fine but had to get a rack then

forgot to add - dining room chair backs are also good storage racks too!
