Beastmaster Rodeo

A lot of riders are running spurs the wrong length without realizing how much it affects the ride, and the right length isn't the same from one event to the next.

It's tempting to save a few dollars on equipment, but the real cost of competing makes that savings disappear fast when cheap gear gives out at the wrong moment.

Quality is measured by how it performs when everything's on the line, not by what it rang up for.

What's a time cheaper gear ended up costing you more in the long run?

You can gear up at beastmasterrodeo.com.

It's easy to hang onto a favorite glove, but once it stretches out, starts to roll, or wears through, it's time to let it go.

Drying a glove between rides helps it last, and when it's finally done, our fitting service and return policy make sure you land on the right replacement.

People often ask what makes a piece of gear truly good, and the answer isn't the leather or the buckles, it's the people behind it. Skilled hands can make the most of any material, but the finest materials in the world can't make up for work done without care.

Chase personally rides the Mohair style cinch and considers the D-ring a must-have feature.

Prefer the neoprene option? Chase notes it stays in place exceptionally well and delivers a superior grip. And both styles share the same quality construction: solid stitching on the loops that runs all the way back.

His bottom line? Both cinches do the job. It just comes down to personal preference.

Good leather reacts to the world around it, stretching and giving with heat and moisture, which is why knowing how to break it in and care for it makes all the difference. Store it somewhere that's not too hot or damp, roll your gloves up in a bag, and a little prep keeps your gear dependable for years to come.
