To achieve a professional look, ensure the blanket provides at least a 2-inch border beyond your saddle skirt; if you use a short-backed horse or a \"Cutter\" style skirt, please measure to ensure the 20-inch drop is proportional to your horse’s barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need to use a liner underneath this blanket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. To maximize your horse's comfort and protect the premium wool from sweat and oils, we recommend layering this over a shock-absorbing pad like the PC SMx Air Ride. This combination provides the ultimate balance of high-end aesthetics and performance-grade protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I prevent the colors from fading or bleeding?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Professional's Choice blankets are designed to be colorfast, but we recommend hand washing with a wool-safe soap and air drying flat. To keep your whites bright and set the dyes, you can add a splash of vinegar to the rinse water and always dry with the underside facing the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e SB1-BLA\/EMD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"BLA\/EMD","offer_id":47397013553373,"sku":"SB1-BLA\/EMD","price":142.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CHO\/PUR","offer_id":47397013586141,"sku":"SB1-CHO\/PUR","price":142.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/professional-s-choice-34x40-western-horse-show-saddle-blanket-sb1-bla-emd.webp?v=1770965730","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/professional-s-choice-34x40-western-horse-show-saddle-blanket","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
