Get Your Tack Stall Ready for All American Quarter Horse Congress

The 2026 All American Quarter Horse Congress runs September 26 through October 24 at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio, bringing exhibitors, trainers and horses together for nearly a month of competition.

Whether you're headed to Congress for a few days, one week or a longer stretch, getting your tack-stall organization figured out before you arrive can make setup and the rest of the show...a whole lot easier.

At a show this long, your tack stall has to do more than look organized. It needs to keep saddles, bridles, pads, grooming supplies, blankets and everyday equipment accessible while making the most of limited space.

Start With the Equipment You Use Most

Every tack stall is different. A trainer bringing several horses may need multiple saddle racks and significant bridle storage, while an exhibitor coming for a smaller group may need a much simpler setup.

That's why Royal Wire storage is designed to be flexible. Start with the pieces you need for this Congress and build from there.

A Main Frame can be configured with saddle racks, shelves, baskets, a Speed Rail or Saddle Pad Holder. Components can be removed and rearranged as your needs change.

And not everything requires a Main Frame. Many Royal Wire products can hang independently over a standard 2×4, allowing you to create a setup that works for your horses, tack and discipline.

Get Saddles and Bridles Off the Floor

Floor space disappears quickly in a busy tack stall.

Using Saddle Racks and Bridle Racks keeps frequently used equipment organized, visible and within reach while freeing up valuable space below.

Royal Wire offers several configurations, so you can build around the number of horses you're bringing rather than trying to make a one-size-fits-all system work.

Make Use of Vertical Space

Some of the most valuable storage in a tack stall is above the floor.

Baskets, Flat Shelves and the Collapsible Hanging Shelf provide places for supplies and equipment that would otherwise end up stacked on trunks, chairs or the floor.

For grooming products, medications, wraps and bottles you reach for throughout the day, the Speed Rail provides compact storage without taking up valuable floor space.

Don't Forget Mobile Storage

At a large show like Congress, being able to move equipment can be just as important as storing it.

Royal Wire Wheeled Wire Carts can help move grooming supplies, tack and equipment around the barn or show grounds. Several of our cart components are interchangeable, allowing you to adapt your setup for different uses.

Plan Before You Leave for Columbus

Congress isn't the place you want to discover you're missing the storage you need.

Think through how many horses you're bringing, which saddles and bridles you'll use, what needs to stay immediately accessible and what can be stored overhead or on a cart.

Then build your setup before you leave.

Royal Wire has been manufacturing in the USA for generations, and our equine roots go back to 1974, when we began manufacturing horse stall gates. Our wire organizational storage system grew directly out of the needs of our horse-show family and nearly five decades later, we're still building products designed for life at the horse show.
