Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this blanket thick enough to use as my only saddle pad?
A: While the Professional's Choice Casa Zia provides a thick double layer of wool, most professional riders use it as a "topper" over a 3/4" or 1" felt pad. This combination provides the traditional Navajo look with the modern impact protection required for long days in the saddle.

Q: How do I ensure this blanket fits my specific saddle?
A: This blanket folds to a 32" x 32" size. For the best fit and to prevent the saddle's rigid edges from rubbing your horse, ensure your saddle's skirt length is between 28" and 30" to allow for the ideal one-to-two inches of visible clearance.
