Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will this blanket fit my specific saddle?
A: This blanket measures 30 inches in length, making it the perfect fit for saddles with a skirt length of approximately 27 to 28 inches. This ensures the recommended 2-3 inch overhang for both optimal protection and a polished, professional appearance.

Q: Can I use this as a standalone pad?
A: This is a 1/4-inch thick blanket designed for layering. For maximum comfort, it is best used as a liner underneath a heavier pad to absorb sweat, or as a decorative topper over a plain felt or cushion pad to elevate your style in the show ring.

Q: How does the wool material benefit my horse?
A: Unlike synthetic materials, 100% woven wool is naturally breathable and capable of wicking moisture away from the horse's skin. This prevents heat buildup and friction, reducing the risk of sores and keeping your horse focused on the ride.
