Comfort and Need

Cashel makes a difference in the lives of horses and humans

For many horses, sore backs, flies and uncomfortable tack are a big problem. For riders, aching knees and backsides can make riding that was once a joy become a chore. But what if things didn't have to be that way? When a group of experienced horse people asked that question, the Cashel company was formed to create an answer.

A small Northwest company founded in 1986, Cashel began its unique line of products by looking at comfort from the horse's perspective. Therapeutic saddle pads for dressage, jumping, showing and racing were Cashel's first mark on the scene and quickly became trusted industry favorites. But performance horses weren't the only ones in need, and the people of Cashel were full of ideas. A trail rider from his youth, Tony Lang moved to Chehalis, Washington four years ago to take on the position of general manager for Cashel Company.
