FORT WORTH, TX — At Cuttinup Show Blankets LLC, partnerships are built the same way everything else is — with intention, trust, and respect for the industry that made us. That’s why we’re proud to announce a new exclusive partnership with 5 Star Equine Products, authorizing 5 Star as the only company approved to use Cuttinup Show Blankets in the production of their all-in-one show pad products.
Cuttinup has worked alongside a number of companies over the years, but the decision to align with 5 Star came down to more than craftsmanship alone. While quality has always been non-negotiable, just as important is working with people who believe in supporting the associations, events, and horsemen who keep this industry moving forward.
“This one just feels right,” said Jennifer Palmer, CEO of Cuttinup Show Blankets LLC. “We’re really excited to work with 5 Star — not only to create an amazing product together but they are also interested in helping support partnerships we already have in place, with organizations like the American Paint Horse Association and the American Rope Horse Futurity Association, and to build new relationships across the horse industry. It matters to us who we stand next to. It feels good to be aligned with a company that gives back the way we do, and there’s no question their product quality is second to none. I’m genuinely excited about what the future holds for both companies.”
Through this collaboration, 5 Star will incorporate Cuttinup Show Blankets into all-in-one show pads, bringing together Cuttinup’s distinctive look, fit, and high quality blankets with 5 Star’s proven performance pads. Creating essentially the ULTIMATE Show Pad!
The first 5 Star all-in-one show pads featuring Cuttinup Show Blankets will be introduced to retailers during the January WESA Market (January 21–24, 2026).
Cuttinup looks forward to having the first of these collaborative pads available for purchase during the National Cutting Horse Association Super Stakes, held March 18 through April 13, 2026.
This partnership is about more than a product launch — it’s about doing business the right way, honoring individuals of the horse industry, and continuing to invest in the future of the horse industry as a whole.
