We're not just girths and cinches!
Get to know our other popular products: The Spursuader Spur and the Tapestry Neck Strap!

💙 The Spursuader Spur: Every rider has felt it — the moment a subtle leg aid simply isn't enough, but a traditional spur creates exactly the tension you were trying to avoid. For sensitive horses that line is razor thin. One inadvertent touch and they're bracing, anticipating, shutting down before the conversation even begins. It was that problem — and a deep respect for the sensitive horse — that led Linda to design the Spursuader.

💙 The Neck Strap: Used by riders at every level, a neck strap is one of the simplest, smartest tools you can add to your kit. It gives you a secure, guilt-free handle when you need it, so your hands stay soft and your horse stays confident — even when you're not.

Shop both online on our website (and, the Spursuader is available in both English and Western!)

That moment you run your hands along a girth and everything about it just feels right before the horse has even moved a step.

When we first fitted the Tapestry Comfort Girth to horses, a few things stood out.

The build quality is excellent. This is the kind of tack you notice when you pick it up, not just when something goes wrong.

Buckle placement is intuitive. A small detail, but the kind that matters every single time you tack up.

And the design does real work under the saddle. It distributes pressure evenly across your horse's sternum, which reduces discomfort and frees up the shoulder to move. By relieving pressure on the sensitive girth area, it also promotes easier, unrestricted breathing.

Check out Linda's recent podcast interview on the the Heal Your Horse podcast with Nika The Horse Listener titled "The Truth about Sensitive Horses, Tack & Tension"
⬇
What if the “difficult” horse is not being difficult at all… but simply trying to communicate discomfort in the only way they know how?

In this episode of the Heal Your Horse podcast, Nika sits down with Linda Hauck, founder of Tapestry Equine Products, to explore what horses have taught her through decades of eventing, Thoroughbred racing, coaching, and product innovation.

From training racehorses and competing at Advanced level, to inventing the patented Spursuader and Tapestry Comfort Girth, Linda shares how her products were not created from marketing ideas, but from years of observing horses brace, hollow, react, and attempt to communicate discomfort. Nika has some amazing insights of her own as well!

We dive into:
• Why “girthy” horses are often misunderstood
• The hidden impact tack can have on movement and behaviour
• What sensitive horses taught Linda about communication
• Why observation is one of the most important skills horse owners can develop
• How comfort changes performance

This conversation is a reminder that horses are constantly giving us information through movement, posture, behaviour, tension, and reaction. The question is whether we are willing to slow down enough to listen.

Hearing your horses are happy and you're finding confidence is exactly why we do what we do 💙

Here's is a recent 5-star review by a happy customer:
"After being introduced to Tapestry by my trainer, there has been no alternative for me! My OTTBs both love their tapestry products, and for anyone that knows OTTBs, they know it's hard to come by! And my neckstrap is helping me find the confidence on my green horse and over fences!"

Thank you, Lily! We're so happy to hear this, and so grateful for your review!

Redesigned with upgraded materials and improved hardware — because your horse gives everything over that fence, and their protection should match that effort.
Built for show jumping. Built for eventing. Built for the horses that don’t hold back!

How to Measure Your Girth for the Proper Fit:

1. Start with a properly fitted saddle. Girth fit begins with saddle fit — if your saddle isn't sitting correctly, no girth will compensate for it. Tack up as you normally would before measuring.

2. Measure end of girth-buckle to end of girth-buckle. If your current girth fits properly (more on this below) measure your girth with a tape measure. You don't want to order the stamped size as all girths stretch out.

3. Check the point of the elbow. This is the part most riders skip, and it's the one that matters most. Watch where the girth sits relative to your horse's elbow as they move. A horse's elbow rotates back with every stride, and if the girth crowds that point, you'll see rubbing, girthiness, or a shortened stride — even with a girth that's technically "the right size." In a dressage/monoflap girth or cinch the buckles should sit at least 3-4" above the post of the elbow. A longer girth or cinch also helps to stabilize the saddle.

4. Confirm with the two-finger rule. Once the girth is buckled snugly, you should be able to slide two fingers flat between the girth and your horse's side, all the way around. Snug, not tight. If you can't get two fingers in, size up or check your billets.

5. Re-check after a few minutes of movement. Horses often need a second girth-check once they've warmed up and their barrel has settled. A girth that felt right standing in the crossties can feel very different at the trot.
