GIFTS AT A GALLOP
Rancher 5 Star Saddle Pad
Sometimes you need a little something extra to protect your horse’s back during ranch work or extended excursions. But who wants to double-pad or do a lot of cinching? 5 Star Equine comes to the rescue with the Rancher 5 Star Saddle Pad, handmade in the USA. Specially engineered for roping and other ranch activities—as well as those long trail rides we all love—it is designed to be used alone.
The pad’s extra-thick 1-1/8" wool eliminates the need for double padding while reducing cinching. The Rancher is 100% pure wool without any synthetic materials—the better to wick away sweat and remove excess heat from under the saddle. Available in four different sizes (30" W x 28" L, 30" W x 30" L, 32" W x 32" L, or 32" W x 30" L), all with a square skirt, and in your choice of either natural or black. For a one-of-a-kind pad with built-in back protection, unlimited customization options are also offered.
Cowboy Kid Wade Saddle
When you’re a horse-loving youngster, there’s one gift that’s nearly as treasured as an equine of your own: the saddle of your dreams. For the young rider who also happens to be a serious competitor, Cashel is now offering a serious youth saddle. Like all Cowboy Kid Saddles, it is built to stand up to use, with trees and rigging sturdy enough for ranch work. Though tailored for those who wear Western jeans from size 4 to 14, these saddles can be adapted to fit many riders by adjusting stirrups and adding a seat shrinker. A secure seat pocket, rough-out leather and kid-friendly proportions are a few of the features that help a young rider maintain correct position and balance. In addition, the Wade promotes closer contact, with a traditional cowboy design, a slightly larger horn cap to secure the rope, and a high cantle for added security.
