Your Horse Wants You To Use Rambo Blankets And Put The Navajo On The Wall

Most show blankets do absolutely no work

Most show blankets do absolutely no work. They just look good while failing to function as either good back padding while absorbing sweat. This is why you really need to use two types of Rambo blankets - one as a liner performing the functions discussed and the other as the fancy, decorative often-called Navajo which probably isn't. Most authentic Navajo blankets hang in museums and not in barn tack rooms. Forget about any all-in-one selections. Granted, these choices will produce great back protection for the animal, but any decorative topping may either not be large or fancy enough for show purposes. You will be better off using two blankest under your show saddles.

Using a Good Work Blanket

Sometimes riders can get away using that non-descript work blanket under the fancy show variety, but only when small enough to stay hidden. A solid color liner matching your horse is recommended if used for show purposes only. Just make sure it is constructed in a quality way so it is string and thick enough to protect the animal's back. But, be careful choosing the proper thickness. You do not want to appear as if sitting on a pile of mattresses. Good liner Rambo blankets will conform to the horse's back while absorbing sweat and will not move out from underneath your pretty show blanket under your shoe saddles.

There's A Variety from Which to Choose

There are almost an endless amount of blanket designs from which to choose. Plus, your choice just may be guided by the different events in your participate as well as your breed of horse. You can choose from very simple patterns and colors to incredibly complex designs. Many reiners, pleasure horse riders and cow horse exhibitionists prefer solid-colored blankets. These typically have no trim or very simple borders keeping with the theme of a working horse. Accents to solid-colored blankets like corner conchos engraved with different shapes provide extra interest.

Selecting Show Blankets

You want to make sure to choose show blankets that compliment a rider's wardrobe while also enhancing the horse's appearance as well. For example, riders wearing black chaps over a red outfit should select blankets portraying some sort of red Southwestern design. You need to be smart making an investment that goes along with a wardrobe because show blankets cost a few hundred dollars. Also, remember the horse color has an influence on what is chosen. Choose a black blanket for a gray Sorrel as long as you create good contrast framing your show saddle on a gray horse.

Never use a double blanket when showing because the folded layers will shift while the corners will curl when riding. Your choice of well-made Rambo blankets will fit well with your western show saddles.
