Showman Saddle Blanket

This blanket is designed as a protective layer or a base for your saddle. While it offers a durable barrier, most riders prefer to pair it with a felt or wool pad underneath for additional shock absorption and spinal support.

Acrylic is chosen for its resilience and ease of care. It is highly resistant to moisture and mildew, making it an excellent, low-maintenance option for daily barn work or trail riding where you might encounter sweat or damp conditions.

Yes, the 30 by 60 inch dimensions provide generous coverage for most standard western saddles. The length allows you to fold it in half for a double layer under the saddle, which is the standard way to utilize this size.

Because it is made of acrylic, it is relatively easy to maintain. You can typically brush off dried dirt and hair after use, and for deeper cleaning, it can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air-dried.

Acrylic is generally non-irritating, but it does not have the natural breathability of wool. If your horse has very sensitive skin, you may want to ensure the blanket is kept clean and free of debris, or use a thin liner underneath to prevent friction.
