Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is the 34x40 size right for my horse and saddle?
A: This oversized blanket is ideal for large-framed horses and saddles with large skirts. To achieve a professional look, ensure the blanket provides at least a 2-inch border beyond your saddle skirt; if you use a short-backed horse or a "Cutter" style skirt, please measure to ensure the 20-inch drop is proportional to your horse’s barrel.

Q: Do I need to use a liner underneath this blanket?
A: Yes. To maximize your horse's comfort and protect the premium wool from sweat and oils, we recommend layering this over a shock-absorbing pad like the PC SMx Air Ride. This combination provides the ultimate balance of high-end aesthetics and performance-grade protection.

Q: How do I prevent the colors from fading or bleeding?
A: Professional's Choice blankets are designed to be colorfast, but we recommend hand washing with a wool-safe soap and air drying flat. To keep your whites bright and set the dyes, you can add a splash of vinegar to the rinse water and always dry with the underside facing the sun.
