What riders say about Catago
Verbatim words from riders who bought Catago.
I love everything about this technical, therapeutic rug. Thicker and comfy over the back, without being too warm. wicks sweat, while warming the saddle and topline area on cool days and relaxing those muscles. My 'cold backed' little mare LOVES it, and she is very clear if she does NOT like a sheet or rug. Colour is forgiving. Will be interested to see how it does in shedding season, but for fall/winter-- it's 12/10.
Super cute little jacket. I have a short torso and so many things are too long for me. This one is perfect! It runs a little small, so size up if you are between sizes. I’m 5’4” and 130 and the medium is perfect.
Very nice Jacket - the material in real has more sheen and a more saturated navy color, looking more upscale than the picture online shows, which looks somewhat washed out. It is really warm, thick but still looks fitted thanks to its good design. Four stars only because the zipper is pretty hard to close, respectively takes a lot of fiddling to open from below. I hope that it might smoothen after being frequently used. Fit is true to size, I'm 5.5, 130lb and M fits well over 2 layers of mid-weight long sleeved tops.
Saddle Pad: Ogilvy Half Pad: Stephens Quarter Sheet: Catago This is Shiny's new magic quarter sheet from Contago. I like how these have a pretty long drop so it covers their full bum but it's also set back enough that my leg makes contact with the horse. They don't notice spurs sometimes if the quarter sheet is in the way. I got her a cob size, but I think she might have been okay in a pony too. I'd rather it a little big than too small though, so I'm content with this one.
The brand
Catago puts its FIR-Tech lining in pads, boots, liners and gloves
Catago is a Danish brand with one idea behind everything it makes: FIR-Tech. Here is how Catago's lining runs through the pads, boots, liners and apparel we carry.
Saddle Pads
Catago FIR-Tech saddle pads lined with ceramic fibers
Catago FIR-Tech saddle pads put the brand's ceramic-fiber lining against the horse's back, and the range covers a Training Pad, a Grand Dressage Saddle Pad, a Grand Jump Saddle Pad and an AP pad. Catago says the lining reflects the horse's own warmth back to the muscle; that is the brand's description. Each shape is named for the work it is cut for, so the first choice is easy.
Pick by discipline first, then by fit under your saddle. A rider with a 17.5-inch saddle and a horse with slightly higher withers told us the thickness and shape suited them, and another said the pad washes well. Look elsewhere if you want a plain pad with no lining. Compare every style in Catago Saddle Pads.
Every Catago pad style is on the Saddle Pads page.
What Riders Say
Great quality saddle pad, horse doesn't get too hot in it and it washes well also.
Nice thickness and shape. Fits well with my 17.5” saddle on a horse with slightly higher withers.
Horse Boots
Catago FIR-Tech horse boots with a ceramic-fiber lining
Catago FIR-Tech horse boots line the inside of the boot with ceramic fibers, which Catago says return the leg's own heat. The range itself is easy to list. It runs from Tendon, Fetlock and Performance JP boots to Stable Boots, Bell Boots and Grand Fleece Bandages, so there is a Catago style for the arena, the stall and the paddock.
Match the boot to the work: front boots for schooling and jumping, bell boots for turnout, bandages for the stall. Sizes run from Pony through Large Horse, so measure the leg before you pick. Look elsewhere if you need a boot for a discipline with rules about boot shape, and check your rulebook first. Browse the range in Catago Horse Boots.
Every Catago boot and bandage is on the Horse Boots page.

Rug Liners
Catago FIR-Tech rug liners in 100g, 200g and 300g fills
Catago FIR-Tech Turnout Rug Liners come in three fills, 100g, 200g and 300g, so you can layer to the weather. The Compound Neck Piece 200g carries the same lining to the neck, and Catago says the FIR-Tech fibers reflect the horse's own warmth; again, that is the brand's statement, not ours.
Choose the fill by how cold your nights run: the lighter fill for a chilly edge, the heavier one for deep winter under a heavy rug. Look elsewhere if you need a waterproof outer rug, because a liner is the layer beneath and does not replace the turnout. One rider who bought the Catago FIR-Tech Rug wrote that it was thick and comfy over the back without being too warm. See the full range in Catago Rug Liners.
Every Catago liner and neck piece is on the Rug Liners page.

Jackets
Catago women's jackets cut to wear in the saddle
Catago's Women's Maritza Jacket and Women's Roy Jacket are the two jackets riders ask about most, and both are cut at a length that sits clear of the saddle. One rider called the Maritza thick but still fitted.
Check the size chart before you order. Fit comments vary: one rider said true to size, another said a jacket from the range runs a little small and suggested sizing up between sizes. Look elsewhere if you want a loose, long barn coat. Find your fit in Catago Jackets.
Every Catago jacket is on the Jackets page.
What Riders Say
Thicker winter jacket. Great for keeping you warm around the barn and comfy enough to ride in. Good length that doesn't interfere when in the saddle. Ordered a second!
This jacket is so cute and flattering. I'm 5'4" and 115 lbs. I ordered a size medium and it fits nicely over my t-shirts. I'm short waisted and this fits great. It is my new favorite jacket to pull on when I need a light layer to stay warm.

Tops and Gloves
Catago quarter-zip tops and FIR-Tech gloves for the ring
Catago's Women's Thelma Quarter Zip Short Sleeve Top and Women's Nice Short Sleeve Shirt cover the ring, and the FIR-Tech Mesh Summer Show Gloves and Elite Show Gloves finish the outfit. The gloves carry the same FIR-Tech lining as the rest of the line, which Catago describes as ceramic fibers that return the hand's own warmth.
For cold days, the FIR-TECH Winter Gloves have the same lining. One rider wrote that she ordered a second pair of the Mesh Summer Show Gloves, so she loved them that much. Look elsewhere if you need a show coat; these are base layers for the ring. Browse every style in Catago Tops and Gloves.
