OUR HERITAGE

Since 1866, 5/A Baker® has stood for unmatched craftsmanship, timeless design, and equestrian excellence. What began with the invention of the "evaporating horse blanket" has become a trusted name synonymous with quality, performance, and tradition. Now proudly part of the Jacks Inc. family, we continue to build on that legacy — blending heritage with modern innovation for today’s horse owners.

Craftsmanship & Quality

Every 5/A Baker® product is a testament to precision and care. Our iconic plaid isn’t just a look — it represents a commitment to durability, function, and elegance. From the strength of our triple-weave fabrics to the fine details in every stitch, our horse clothing, bags, and accessories are designed to withstand daily demands while honoring the timeless traditions of the equestrian lifestyle.

Our Values

At the heart of everything we do are the values we ride with:

• Authenticity: We stay true to our roots while evolving to meet modern needs.
• Durability: Products that work hard — just like the people who use them.
• Responsibility: A commitment to quality and care for the horses, riders, and pets we serve.
• Community: We celebrate the bond between horse and rider, supporting those who live the equestrian lifestyle every day.

Our Journey

From show rings to stable aisles, 5/A Baker® has been part of the equestrian journey for generations. Acquired by Jacks Inc. in 2019, our brand found new life through a family-run company that shares our passion for quality, honesty, and service. Under the guidance of the Balahtsis and Dean families, 5/A Baker® continues to thrive — shaped by deep-rooted values and the real-world needs of riders and horse lovers alike.

TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE

For over a century, 5/A Baker® has been the gold standard in horse clothing, combining luxury with durability. Known for its iconic plaid pattern & reliable triple weave blend, 5/A Baker® continues to stand the test of time. Our commitment to superior craftsmanship ensures each piece is crafted to perfection.
