The USEA is excited to announce that Five Star Tack returning as a sponsor of the SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Level Three-Day Series. “We are pleased to award one of our beautiful Five Star bridles to the winner of each event as well as awarding one of our new halters to the winner of the new Five Star Tack Horsemanship award at each event. As many of the competitors in this Series are amateur riders juggling careers and family, we applaud their commitment to the training and education process that preparing and competing in a three day event entails.”, said Jamie Greene, owner of Five Star Tack.
Five Star Tack designs beautiful bridles and strap goods known for their detailed stitching and top quality English Sedgwick leather. Five Star Tack is a small company that has quickly become known as the source for distinctive top performing tack. Worn by horses ridden by Doug Payne and Kristin Schmolze, the bridles are tough enough to withstand the demands of eventing while maintaining their good looks. They are a company whose success has come largely through word of mouth, which is a testament to the quality of the products.
Through its “bridles with benefits” program, Five Star Tack donates a percentage of profits to charities engaged in the battle against cancer. They are about to begin a new program that will benefit rehoming and retraining programs such as those run by Canter USA. Customers will be able to send in bridles they no longer use and receive 10% off a future purchase. The bridles will be collected and sent to registered organizations who have a need for tack.
