Western Saddle Blankets & Pads

Western blankets and pads are essential components of Western riding, designed to provide comfort and protection for both horse and rider. Placed under the saddle, these pads and blankets offer cushioning, absorb shock, and help distribute the rider’s weight evenly across the horse’s back, preventing soreness and pressure points. They also protect the horse’s skin from rubbing and chafing caused by the saddle, enhancing the overall riding experience.

Western pads are typically thicker and more robust than their English counterparts, often made from materials like wool, felt, or high-density foam for maximum support and durability. Western blankets, often used in conjunction with pads, add an extra layer of comfort and can be found in a variety of vibrant colors and patterns, reflecting the rich heritage and style of Western riding.

Available in different shapes and sizes to accommodate various saddle types and horse builds, Western blankets and pads may also feature moisture-wicking properties to keep the horse cool and dry during rides. Whether used for working ranch horses, rodeo events, or trail riding, these pads and blankets are essential for ensuring your horse’s comfort and performance, while also adding a touch of Western flair to your tack setup.
