Proudly Made in the USA
Honoring America’s 250th Birthday
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we are reminded of the values that helped build this country: hard work, independence, craftsmanship, and pride in doing things the right way.
At 5 Star Equine Products, those values are part of who we are. From our small-town roots in Hatfield, Arkansas, to arenas, ranches, barns, and trails across the country, we are proud to build products that support horses and riders every day.
Made in the USA, From a Small Town in Arkansas
5 Star Equine Products is located in Hatfield, Arkansas, a small town nestled in the Ouachita Mountains. It is here that our saddle pads and handcrafted mohair products are proudly made in the USA.
Every product that leaves our facility represents the people behind it, the community we call home, and the pride we take in manufacturing here in the United States.
Crafted With Purpose
Our wool saddle pads are built by skilled hands using premium materials and a process focused on quality, comfort, and long-lasting performance. Our mohair cinches, breast collars, and other handcrafted mohair products are made with the same attention to detail and commitment to American craftsmanship.
Our Roots Run Deep
5 Star Equine Products was founded in 1998 by Vern and Laurel Wells with a mission to create high-quality wool felt saddle pads that truly supported the horse.
Their dedication to fit, comfort, and performance helped set a new standard in the western saddle pad industry. 5 Star became known for the original French-contoured western saddle pad, a design created to better follow a horse’s topline and provide a more secure, comfortable fit.
In 2012, Terry and Julia Moore became the owners of 5 Star Equine Products and continued the company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and American manufacturing.
Today, we are proud to carry those values forward.
Built for the American Horse Industry
The American horse industry is filled with hardworking people who expect their equipment to perform. Ranchers, rodeo athletes, barrel racers, ropers, trainers, show riders, trail riders, and everyday horse owners all need products they can trust.
Our 100% wool felt saddle pads are designed to provide comfort, protection, moisture wicking, and durability. Our handcrafted mohair tack offers breathability, flexibility, and natural performance for horses across disciplines.
We also offer additional 5 Star products, including sport boots, designed to help support and protect horses during training, competition, and everyday riding.
Why American Manufacturing Matters
Being made in the USA means more than a label. It means supporting American jobs, American families, and small-town manufacturing.
It means keeping craftsmanship close to home.
It means having people who care about every detail, from the materials we choose to the final inspection before a product leaves our facility.
When you purchase a 5 Star saddle pad, a Patriot sport boot, or a handcrafted mohair product, you are supporting products made in America by people who take pride in their work.

From our small town in Arkansas to barns and arenas across the world, we are honored to be part of your ride.
Here’s to 250 years of American spirit, American craftsmanship, and the hardworking horsemen and women who keep those traditions alive.
