Why Riders Trust 5 Star Mohair Cinches & Breast Collars

Why Riders Trust 5 Star Mohair Cinches & Breast Collars

 When it comes to tack, comfort and reliability are everything. At 5 Star Equine Products, we believe that gear should support your horse’s movement and doesn’t hinder it. That’s why our mohair cinches and breast collars are handcrafted using 100% all-natural mohair and flat stainless-steel hardware—with zero synthetic fibers or shortcuts.

Here’s why riders who care about fit, function, and feel choose 5 Star:

100% All-Natural Mohair – No Synthetics, No Compromises

Our mohair is sourced from the long, silky fibers of the Angora goat—naturally soft, durable, and breathable. Unlike synthetic blends, pure mohair cinches and breast collars conform to your horse’s body without causing rubs, pressure points, or skin irritation.

Benefits of 100% Mohair:

• • Naturally elastic for a snug but non-restrictive fit
  • Breathable and moisture-wicking, reducing heat and sweat buildup
  • Gentle on sensitive skin, perfect for horses prone to galling or discomfort
  • Long-lasting performance that doesn’t stiffen or degrade over time like synthetics

When you choose all-natural materials, you’re not only investing in comfort, but you’re also protecting your horse’s skin, muscles, and movement with every ride.

Flat Stainless-Steel Hardware: Built for Function and Longevity

 Every 5 Star mohair cinch and breast collar comes standard with flat stainless-steel hardware that serves two key purposes:

• • No Pinching or Rolling
    The low-profile design lies smoothly against the horse’s body, eliminating the pinching and rolling often caused by bulky or curved hardware. It offers a clean, close contact fit—ideal for performance, trail, or everyday use.
  • Rust-Free Durability
    Our hardware is made from solid stainless steel, not plated or coated metal. That means no rust, no corrosion, and no flaking—just long-term durability even in wet, sweaty, or humid conditions.

5 Star offers upgrades to decorative floral rings, roller buckles, and brass & antique brass hardware.

Designed for Every Horse and Rider

At 5 Star, we offer a full range of mohair cinch and breast collar options to suit your horse’s needs and your riding style. Whether you’re roping, ranching, showing, or trail riding, we have a cinch style to provide the right fit and support. Breast collars are available with matching color and hardware options for a coordinated look. You can choose from classic natural mohair, solid colors, or custom color combinations. 5 Star’s mohair comes standard with flat stainless steel hardware for durability and comfort, with additional options available on select styles. Whether you prefer a classic look or want to stand out in the arena, 5 Star gives you the freedom to build the mohair setup that fits your horse and your personality.

5 Star Quality: Handcrafted

 Like all 5 Star products, our mohair cinches and breast collars are handmade in the USA with attention to quality and detail. Each piece is crafted to durability and the softness and flexibility your horse needs.

Why It Matters

Cheap synthetic cinches may seem convenient, but they can’t match the fit, breathability, or longevity of natural mohair. With

5 Star, you get:

• • All-natural materials that move with your horse
  • Hardware that lasts a lifetime
  • A product you can trust ride after ride

Your horse deserves the best, don’t settle for synthetic substitutes. Choose 5 Star’s 100% mohair cinches and breast collars for all-natural comfort, rust-free hardware, and handcrafted American quality.
