History

BE Saddle Pads™ Orthopedic | Better Equine® | Horse | USA Made | BE Enhance Performance Program

Design Team

Bill, Jana & Billy Lane Barcus have spent their lives riding, training and conditioning horses. Saddle fit found its way into a priority when simply changing a pad to help create correct saddle fit proved to be a great positive response in their training programs.

1. Saddles must fit

2. Pads make a huge difference

3. Less friction & Less heat producing

With over 100 years combined experience we have created

BE Saddles Pads™.

"BE a Champion on BE Saddle Pads!"

BE Saddle Pads™ are part of the BE Comfort Program

The year 2020

A lot changed for the retail industry with the creation of the world wide web in 1989. Consumers were no longer limited to what items were for sale in their location. Today, consumers can get online to purchase most anything and ship it right to their door. We offer those services along with good Ole' fashion person to person assistance.

Our brick and mortar store is located on the Better Equine® Ranch in Paola, Kansas. Feel free to make an appointment to bring your horse & tack for a hands on BE Saddle Pad™ fitting.

Better Equine® offers Select items that we feel are top notch and really enhance your horse and livestock programs. Some products are made here and others are made in the USA by our partners.

In 2020, the Barcus Family decided to add Orthopedic Saddle Pads to their BE Comfort Program of products.

With the textile world and years of saddle pad use at our finger tips, we feel we've designed an orthopedic pad that will enhance comfort for

you and your horse or mule.
