Cavallo Horse & Rider

Cavallo Horse & Rider Inc. is proud to offer support to the ARCHA and NRCHA Canadian Region Sponsorships with the Total Comfort System Saddle Pads, specifically engineered to contract and expand where needed; TCS Pads mould for a precise fit between the horse's back and the saddle for each and every ride. Cavallo is dedicated to support the health and comfort of all horses being ridden under saddle.

Even custom made saddles have flaws and asymmetries. Many horses favour one side over the other and few riders are completely balanced. Horses perform best when weight is evenly distributed along the muscular structure on either side of the spine. Cavallo Total Comfort System Saddle Pads compensate for the inevitable problems in weight distribution, compensate for changes and create more freedom of movement for your horse. They even correct bridging problems, improve issues with low or high withered horses, and take care of concerns relating to growth or aging.

And it’s not just Cavallo; other great riders think these pads are fabulous too. Please note Cavallo’s impressive community of endorsements including Monty Roberts, Doug Mills, Bob Grimshaw, Les Timmons and Rick Lamb. They all love Cavallo pads.
And Cavallo gives back too, with contributions to associations including the British Columbia Trial Riders Association BCTRA, American Competitive Trail Horse Association ACTHA, Best of America by Horseback BOABH and British Columbia Children’s Hospital.
Create comfort for your horse and a willing partner for you with Cavallo Total Comfort Saddle Pads.

You used to know us by many local names in almost 100 communities in western Canada. We are your friendly, local neighbourhood truck, farm, ranch and home insurance company. But recently we changed our name to one name – Western Financial Group. We’ve been supporting great local and western associations for over 100 years through many of these offices, likely one is in or near where you live. We also look after all kinds of life insurance including benefits and critical illness. And we’re even a bank – Bank West – where we make loans to the agri business in western Canada. Animals are a favourite too, from all kinds of equestrian insurance to cow and bull mortality – we’re also the largest insurer of dogs and cats in Canada! Take all this together, and we’re the largest Canadian owned insurance broker in Canada.
And if you just want the summary, we’re likely in your community but we’re also very good at what we do. The best of both for our customers.

We want to support ARCHA and NRCHA because we are very much alike. Our values are ‘small town’ and built on relationships over long periods of time. We are there when our customers need us. We don’t back down from our obligations because we see that same customers in the stores, at the parades and at church – besides, it would not be the right thing to do. We share your passion for striving for the best while supporting our grass roots western values. We are very pleased to support you, and even more so as likely some of you are already our customers.
Our tag line is “No Worries……..Western Financial Group”, and we’re proud to be one of your sponsors. Because we live here.
