The use of collar pads is humane. Again, 
your horses will do more work if properly 
protected by the right kind of pad. 
TAPATCO is the right kind. 
A NEW AND BETTER 
HOOK ATTACHMENT 
Consisting of wire staple, reinforced 
with felt washer (note where arrows 
point). This gives the hooks a better 
hold and prevents pulling off. The 
weakest point is made strong and life 
of pad greatly lengthened. 
Found Only on Pads Made by Us.
