Intelligent brands for performance horses.
AMERIGO VESPUCCI E. A. MATTES EQUILIBRIUM
Dr. Reiner Klimke
My horses are my friends,not my slaves.
Horses are amazing creatures. Incredible athletes, there is nothing so quick, yet nothing more patient. Unparalleled partners, horses have the power to transform us into something better, and inspire us in remarkable ways.
Because our horses are our heroes, we care deeply about the equipment that unites horses and humans. As a rider, your choice about the gear you use impacts your horse’s attitude and ability. We believe our tack should be more than mere tools. It should be thoughtfully engineered—instruments of performance— designed to honor the horse’s natural abilities and to showcase their spectacular athleticism.
The collection of brands we carry meet this high threshold of design and performance, and respect the horse. We are excited to share the wisdom and philosophy behind each brand’s product line. In this catalog, you’ll meet the horsemen and women behind each brand, and learn about how to evaluate equipment with your horse’s best interests in mind. Plus, you’ll learn how to properly fit various pieces of tack to ensure maximum comfort and performance.
Our mission is to provide intelligent products that only compliment this generous partner. Let us respect, honor and cherish our special friend, the horse.

Girth Fitting
Girth fit is frequently overlooked in assessing proper tack fit. When using a short girth, it should come to no more than four fingers below the flap. This provides stability, as well as removes buckles and forms away from the horses elbow. Girth shapes should also be considered.
