This company manufacturers and bags wood shavings for the horse and pet industry for bedding.

After Terry took over the reins at 5 Star, the company began to grow at a rapid pace each year. Terry's vision for 5 Star has yet to be reached. He believes the sky is the limit for this young company, simply because the products are superior to other products of its kind on the market today. Terry is very proud of his staff and their dedication to this company. He really appreciated his sales reps and dealers for their hard work and belief in these fine 100% virgin wool felt saddle pads and 100% mohair cinches.

Terry is no stranger to the horse industry. He raised both girls from a very young age on horses and attended horse events all throughout the USA. Both Amanda and Rachel competed in Western Pleasure, Pole Bending, Queens Contest, Horsemanship, Cutting, and Barrel Racing. Through the years growing up, they both were Arkansas State Champions in Barrel Racing and Amanda was State Champion in Pony Pleasure at the age of 8 years old. Rachel was the All American Congress Champion in NYATT Barrel Race in 2001 and the same year was the All American Congress Youth Barrel Racing Champion. Both Amanda and Rachel placed other years at the All American Congress. They both placed at the AQHA Youth World in the top ten in Team Penning (Amanda), Cutting (Amanda) and Barrel Racing (Both). Rachel was Reserve Youth Champion in Barrel Racing in 2000. Amanda and Rachel placed at AQHA World Show in Amateur Barrel Racing, Rachel was the Reserve Amateur Barrel Racing Champion in 2005.

Terry's wife, Julia, showed at the local state horse shows in Western Pleasure. Now she loves the trail riding experiences in the Rockies. Julia loves camping, Dutch oven cooking, her flowers, her Corgis: Rudy, Tess, and Audrey and counseling at Barton Bible Camp. Julia is light hearted and is loved by all. She really enjoys spending time with family and her grandson, Lucas. As most friends know, she is a great story teller!

Terry's passion has always been riding and competing on his cutting horses. He bred and raised cutting and barrel prospect for over 20 years. Terry has competed at local and NCHA cutting events since 1985. He has won over $24,000 in NCHA money and was 2009 Reserve Champion in the $10,000 Amateur at the NCHA Eastern Nationals.

He loves to go out to Colorado and New Mexico and riding in the Rockies and camping with the Razorback Riders – a trail riding group from Arkansas. He also enjoys going to watch Rachel Barrel Race.

One of the biggest pleasures of owning 5 Star is helping people and their horses to have the best saddle pad protection available on the market today. He gets great satisfaction from all the customers stories of how well 5 Star Pads have helped their horses feel better therefore, perform better without hurting. Another pleasure Terry gets is meeting so many horse people. Most of all Terry enjoys that every day his partner at 5 Star is his daughter Rachel!
