5 Star Pads are available with optional cutouts. The Cinch Cutout is available with the mule or horse contour and allows for the wool in only the cinch area to be cutout, and the Leg Cutout allows for both the leg and cinch area to be cutout for closer contact. The Flex Fit Cutout in the wither area elimates pressure on high withered horses. The Extreme Mule Back Cutout is perfect for creating a relief area that will eliminate top pressure of the pad on extreme mule backs. The Slit Gullet is a great option for mules and flat backed horses. The No Gullet Hole option continues the contour up and over the wither area. It is a great option for high withered horses.

I LOVE (& highly recommend) my 5 star pad because they do not slip & are easily adjusted under a saddle. With the wither relief & contoured top line I know I can count on the perfect fit. I can ride with it in the show pen, a trail ride, or use in training with EASY cleaning just a few times a year.
I have two Five Star pads that I purchased for my barrel horse Popcorn. My old hand me down barrel saddle didn't fit correctly and he was sore in his back. The pad I purchased fixed the problem with my old saddle and made him very comfortable! They are beautifully made and very durable.
I don't have a 5 star pad, but I've always wanted one! I've heard only great things about them. My 4 year old gelding is my barrel, rope, trail, and ranch horse.
I bought my first 5 Star pad over 15 years ago. I have had several over the years. When I started looking to replace it and become a dealer I inquired to everyone I could about what was the finest saddle pad made. I always heard about this little outfit in Arkansas called 5 Star.
Thanks to your saddle pad, Shoii's back stays cool and protected while we are out on our little "jaunts!" Being able to continue to explore the world means the world to my horse... and being able to provide him the padding he needs with your products, means the world to ME! Thanks so muc
