Abstract
A saddle rack usable in a portable mode includes a framework of elongated tubular elements presenting a top member having hanger elements engageable with various available structures such as fence rail and the like and from which is suspended one or more hanger arms each in turn joined at its lower end to a saddle support arm provided with a top cover of curved configuration adapted to nest within the longitudinal groove existing beneath saddle seats. Optimum compactibility is achieved during collapsing of the rack through pivot assemblies joining the top member, hanger arm and saddle support arm together and whereupon the saddle support arm is foldable in an upward plane normal to a vertical plane passing through the top member, following which the combined saddle support arm and hanger member are in turn are pivoted together to a line parallel and juxtaposed the top member. One or more hooks depending from the top member provide hanger elements for receiving associated equestrian accouterments. Alternatively, an additional hanger arm and saddle support arm may be affixed to the top member to accommodate a second saddle with the single rack device.
