Expert Posts: 1631 Location: Somewhere around here	Buying a trailer that has a smooth saddle racks and from past experience I know that saddles slide right off that when you moving the trailer. I was thinking about gluing some carpet to the whole slick area but I figured I'd ask some options on here before I start getting crafty crazy.

Expert Posts: 5290	Go to home depot and get some of the Wide industrial Velcro. Like 2 or 3 inches wide. Run couple strips down each side of the rack. It will stick something fierce . I used it for that and my horse boots on the door.

Cute Little Imp Posts: 2747 Location: N Texas	I use those coated wire ties that you can get at Home Depot or TSC. For some reason, the top saddle never slides off and isn't secured in any way.

Undercover Amish Mafia Member Posts: 9991 Location: Kansas	The trailer I have has the smooth saddle racks, the person before me took skins with hair on hide and glued them to the saddle racks. I have no issues with my saddles sliding except for my daughters small saddle that is placed on the top rack

	Get you some scrap carpet … and glue two thicknesses about 8 inches wide on the end of the rack under the bars of your saddle The tilt backwards will secure your saddles ..
