How to Make a Saddle Stand

Making a saddle stand really isn't that hard. I wish I could say I made this but I can't. A very good friend of mine who also LOVES horses built this for me (Thank You Lynda!!!!!)

She built it using 1x12" wood for the main frame of the stand, and then she used 1x3" wood for the slats on the top where the saddle sits, as well as the feet which help to stabilize the saddle stand.

For the top of the stand ,she used a bucket and traced the outer edge to make the round part. Each end was cut to 36" tall, and then she attached the bottom sides. These were made from 1 x 12" wood, cut to 24" long.

Then she added shelf supports using 1 x 3" wood, and then she cut another piece of the 12" wood for the shelf.

Then she cut 1x3" wood into 24" long pieces and starting from the top, she attached the slats, this is where the saddle sits. She then cut the feet, and used a jig saw to round the edges. The foot supports are 20" long which helps to make the stand very sturdy, and stable.

So now that Lynda did all of the hard work, all I had to do was stain the stand, and add some finishing touches like a bridle rack and a name plate to personalize it.

I have wanted to make a saddle stand for so long, but with all of the jumps that I build, and other projects I just never had the time to do it.

Lynda just decided to see if she could do it, and guess what? She did! This is a perfect example to show you if you want something bad enough, you can figure it out!
