A showblanket is a special blanket used in western equestrian events, particularly in show and tournament situations. It is a decorative blanket that is placed under the western saddle to protect the saddle and horse's back while adding an aesthetic accent.
Showblankets are usually made from high-quality materials such as wool, cotton or blended fabrics. They often feature elaborate patterns, colors and decorations to draw attention to the horse and rider and enhance the overall impression at a show. The patterns can include geometric designs, Navajo patterns, floral motifs or other decorative elements.
A showblanket is carefully placed under the western saddle so that it covers both the horse's back and the saddle. It serves to distribute pressure and improve the horse's comfort. At the same time, the showblanket contributes to the overall appearance of the rider and horse team by radiating color, style and professionalism.
The choice of a show blanket is often made to match the riding attire, saddle, or general theme or style of the show. It is a popular accessory at western riding events, especially at shows where presentation and aesthetic appearance play an important role.
It should be noted that a showblanket is primarily a decorative item and does not serve the same purpose as a regular saddle pad or saddle pad. It should always be used in combination with a suitable saddle pad to ensure the horse's protection and comfort.
