Two Traditions United: 5 Star Equine Products Partners with Cuttinup Show Blankets

January 19, 2026

Hatfield, AR — 5 Star Equine Products would like to announce a new partnership with Cuttinup Show Blankets, bringing together two brands known for prioritizing fit, function, and protecting the horse’s back.

This collaboration introduces premium all in one show pads that combine Cuttinup’s hand-woven, contoured show blankets with 5 Star’s 100% pure wool pad that naturally wicks moisture, distributes pressure, and protects the horse’s back ride after ride.

Cuttinup Show Blankets was the first show blanket company to make contoured fit a priority, working directly with expert weavers to create true contoured blankets on handlooms. Designed to follow the natural shape of the horse’s back, these blankets offer a softer feel, improved drape, and consistent fit without uncontrolled bunching under saddle.

That approach aligns naturally with 5 Star Equine Product’ s original French contoured performance pad. Built from heat and steam pressed 100% pure wool felt, with no synthetics, fillers, or reworked wool, 5 Star pads are built to deliver consistent compression protection while allowing the wool to breathe, wick moisture, and manage heat.

Each all-in-one show pad features a Cuttinup show blanket sewn directly to a contoured 5 Star pad, creating a system designed to maintain balance, reduce movement, and support proper fit and protection.

The first 5 Star all in one show pads featuring Cuttinup Show Blankets will be introduced to retailers at the January 2026 WESA Market, with availability to follow.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to integrity, quality craftsmanship, performance, and continued support of the horse industry.
