Equibrand
Equibrand represents the best of American Western performance — under their umbrella, Classic Equine, Martin Saddlery, Rattler Ropes, and Cashel each bring decades of discipline-specific expertise to riders who compete and work at the highest levels. When you buy Equibrand, you are buying gear that was developed in the arena and on the ranch, not in a boardroom.
What Riders Ask About Equibrand Brands
What is Classic Equine known for?
Classic Equine built their reputation in the Western performance world with sports medicine boots, saddle pads, and protective gear trusted by barrel racers, reiners, and cutters nationwide. Their Legacy2 SMB boots compete directly with Professional's Choice at the top of the sports medicine boot category, and their wool felt saddle pads — particularly the Sensorflex and Biofit lines — are among the most technically advanced pads available for horses with difficult backs. The brand is particularly strong in the barrel racing and Western performance segment.
What does Martin Saddlery specialize in?
Martin Saddlery is a premium leather goods manufacturer based in Texas — their specialty is reins, latigos, breast collars, and scabbards crafted from top-quality leather with traditional Texas craftsmanship. Their floral-tooled and plain leather reins are found in show pens, ranch operations, and serious trail setups. For riders who want authentic American leather gear built to last a generation, Martin Saddlery is the name.
What are Rattler Ropes and who uses them?
Rattler Ropes is one of the most respected rope brands in competitive roping. Used by professional team ropers and calf ropers across the country, Rattler is known for consistent lay, durability across a range of conditions, and the feel that serious ropers require for clean loops and accurate throws. If you rope competitively, Rattler belongs in your bag.
What is Cashel best at?
Cashel dominates two categories: fly protection and trail riding accessories. Their Crusader fly mask line is consistently ranked as the most durable and stay-on mask on the market, and their saddle bag collection is the most complete available — from pommel bags to large horn bags with insulated bottle pockets. Cashel gear is designed for riders who are actually outside using their horses, not just looking at them.
