Category: Western Saddle Fittings/Pads
Purchase: I wanted a variety of wool saddle blankets to compliment my western show outfits. Instead of going for intricate designs, these solid coloured blankets add a pretty flash of colour and don't break the bank. Priced at $39.95 each from Pleasant Ridge in Ontario, Canada, they seemed like a good investment.
Likes: These blankets are thick and look beautiful over a thin wool pad (used as a liner) and under a saddle. They come in a wide range of colours to suit any look and have stood up to several seasons of shows without any catches, worn areas or fading from the sun.
Dislikes: I'm having a hard time coming up with anything I dislike about these blankets, and I'm pretty picky.
Quality: These blankets weigh 4 pounds each and measure 34" x 36". They are wool blankets woven on a poly core. I currently own 4 of them, bought at separate times, and they are all uniform in size and construction.
Summary: These are a nice saddle blanket for the price and I suppose if someone were looking for something a little flashier, they are cheap enough that you could embellish them with crystals or leather wear bars and still not spend a fortune. Overall, I'd say these are a great purchase.
