Saddle Pad Construction Video from 5 Star – a Barn World favorite!

Saddle Pad Post from Barn World

BarnWorld.com

Barn World

Here’s a great saddle pad overview presented by one of the owners of 5 Star on why these saddle pads provide such high performance and wicking ability:

Transcript:

In the last 20 years the industry has come up with using every conceivable kind of thing out of the auto industry and space industry that was never intended for use in horses.  Everything from gels to foams to freezer linings all of these have zero or next to nothing as far as good quality and compression protection and absolutely zero in wicking ability and the agents that are needed for wicking sweat and heat away from the horses back.  Pressed industrial felt is the only thing that has really been proven over time to have the high quality wicking ability and high compression ratio for horses. 5 Star has 3 times the compression ratio of any other pad on the market and has 2 times the wicking ability of any close competitor in the felt industry as far as pads are concerned.
So why is 5 Star so good?  5 Star uses the highest quality virgin wool content in their felt.  Only through the use of high-quality virgin wool, can you have a high-quality compression ratios and the high wicking quality you can get.  Add to that,5 Stars established French curve that will fit any horse backline that settles in to create high-quality performance.  5 Star is a pad that will last forever, kind of like an old sweater that you snag and you throw away so that you have a chance to get a new one.  Nothing makes it simpler for performance and making 5 Star the best pad in your tack room.

Remember to visit Barn World for all of your saddle pad and equestrian supply needs.  We carry a full line of cinches, breast collars and even sheepskin pads for all of your riding fund.

Saddle Pads from Barn World

5 Star saddle pads from Barn World

Barn World carries the highest quality saddle pads available.  All of the equine pads we offered are one-hundred percent wool and are uniquely designed to ensure they provide the best in saddle pad performance and comfort for both you and your equine partner.
Check out this video from the owner of 5 Star detailing how much quality goes into a 5 Star saddle pad and why it is so much better than the competition’s and remember to visit www.BarnWorld.com for all your livestock supply needs.

From the video:
A lot of gimmicks can be strapped under a saddle to get one benefit or another, but man has yet to create a product that outperforms virgin wool, and over the long haul, virgin wool content felt pads will outperform any other type of pad or blanket hands down.  5 stars 100% percent wool contoured saddle pads conform immediately to your horse’s back for perfect fit.  Our F-11 wool felt has the highest virgin wool content available and offers 3 times more compression protection and wicking ability than any other pad on the market.
While the importance of compression protection is pretty clear given the dominance of rubber, bubble wrap and space age jelly saddle pads today, only high quality wool felt offers great compression protection while simultaneously wicking away moisture.  That wicking action is the means by which heat is dissipated under the pressure of the saddle.  The best compression protection, coupled with the best wicking ability, translates to the best performance from your equine partner.
When you consider the amount of money one might spend on feed, tack, vet bills and entry fees to pursue your equine passion, a saddle pad with all the ingredients for maximum performance is essential.
While the big ships full of cheap goods leave a toxic trail all the way from Los Angeles to China and back, 5 Star is producing the highest quality products right here in the USA.

Cattle Guards for Public Roads – the HS20 Cattle Guard from Barn World

Barn World makes superior HS20-rated cattle guards for public roads and highways. Our HS20-rated cattle guards are made from schedule 40 steel and come in a variety of sizes to fit various cattle guard projects. We can alter the design of our cattle guards to use different kinds of pipe and rail depending on your needs. We have used round pipe, square rail, I-beam, and other types of rail and channel to make rated cattle guards that are suitable for all public crossings.

Cattle Guard Designs

cattle guard styles

cattle-guard on concrete foundations

The Round Top Rail Cattle Guard offers the most aggressive livestock deterrent as the exposed surface area the cattle will be trying to balance its flat hoof on is entirely curved. They’re very popular for use on private driveways and areas where vehicle traffic is usually at lower speeds.  It does create a bit of a rougher ride for crossing vehicles when compared to the flat-top rail design.

Flat Top Rail Cattle Guards are very effective and popular and like the round rails, they are very good at keeping flat-hooved animals from crossing.  The flat tops offer a smoother crossing for high-speed traffic and are commonly used by the forest service and other government entities for large-scale installations.

Both the flat and round top rail designs are available in the public roadway load-carrying engineered rating HS20, or 16 tons per axle.

Barn World’s HS20-rated cattle guards conform to AASHTO load rating requirements by type of truck and maximum axle load. Our rated cattle guards come with an engineer’s stamp and are certified to meet the AASHTO load ratings so you can feel confident that you are getting the best quality cattle guard for your required load-carrying installation.

Cattle Guard Story: Firing Cattle “Guards” has been around for years

The cattle guards that Barn World carries cannot be ‘fired’ like a traditional employee because they’re not people! However, according to some popular internet search results, politicians have learned about a large number of cattle guards and have thought differently!

The ‘firing’ of cattle guards is a spoof that’s been around for many years and is one of the top organic search results for cattle guards today even though it’s not based in truth.   Here is a recap by Harvey Johnston posted May 14, 2011, on www.reporternews.com that sums up the cattle guard story quite nicely:

Johnston:  Cattle guard story old; still relevant and funny

By Harvey Johnston

There’s no telling when the story had its genesis.  Most everyone says they’ve heard the story before. It seems that in light of the president’s visit to El Paso this week, the story of retraining some fired “cattle guards” to be border guards has re-entered the lore of our land.

The earliest mention of the plan has been traced back to the mid-’50s, according to one website.  Most reports credit a government study revealing more than 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado. A national bureaucrat decided this was too many and ordered that half of them be fired.  A Colorado congressional bureaucrat entered the discussion suggesting they be “retrained” as border guards.

Now even city folks ’round here know the practical side of “cattle guards.” Also called vehicle pass, Texas gates, and stock gaps, generally, they are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings on roadways to prevent cattle from crossing. For some reason, bovines will not step on the guards, apparently because they fear getting their feet caught between rails.

That itself is a questionable theory.

However, retraining “cattle guards” as border guards seemed to make sense to some bureaucrats. There was even some discussion as to what color their uniforms would be.  The joke traces back to the second Bush administration.

    Cattle Guards for Public Roads require a Barn World HS20 Certified Cattle Guard

    For superior HSHS20-certified cattle guards, visit www.BarnWorld.com.  We offer the necessary cattle guard certifications and strong cattle guards made from schedule 40 steel.  They come in a large variety of sizes to fit almost any project you may be involved in.

    Used primarily for livestock control, they can offer a strong deterrent to deer if placed side-by-side to form 12a ‘ or more barriers to the direction of travel and other animals as well.  Please note that we do not recommend cattle guards for horses, goats, or dogs as they simply are not effective.  Horses can get a leg broken in them and goats, dogs, and other sure-footed animals will be able to cross the cattle guard.

    Cattle guards can be made from different types of piping depending on our livestock control needs.  We can use round 3-1/2″ or 4-1/2″  pipes or square pipes for the top rail.  Typically the larger and more round the pipe that is used on top, the more of a deterrent it is for livestock.  A 4-1/2″ pipe will have a greater curve and provide a more unstable footing for a daring animal.  It will also have a larger gap between the pipes making it much more difficult to cross.  The smaller 3-1/2″ pipe will still keep livestock off of your cattle guard and will provide a smoother rider for crossing vehicles.  The same is true for the flat pipe.  It will offer a very smooth ride when crossing but isn’t the strongest deterrent.

    Every HSHS20-rated cattle guard is certified to conform to the load rating requirements provided by the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials or AASHTO.  They spell out the requirements and suitable load ratings for all highway-rated cattle guards.   All of our rated cattle guards come with the engineer’s stamp to pressure at you’re installing an AAAASHTO-certified cattle guard.

    For more information on cattle guards and cattle guard installation, please visit the informational website: www.cattle-guards.com or give us a call at (720) 238-2190 and we’ll be glad to help.  Don’t forget, Barn World offers a large selection of livestock equipment and livestock supplies for all of your farm and ranch needs.
