Saddle blankets come in many different fabrics, cotton, sheepskin, wool, etc. Before you purchase a saddle blanket you should take your climate into consideration. Synthetic saddle blankets are a good choice. Saddle blankets absorb the sweat from the horse while it is traveling. Being of a soft material, the horse will feel very comfortable even with a load full of items or with a saddle fixed to its body. Saddle blankets come in different styles depending on what type of saddle you are using. If you are using a western saddle then you should look for a western saddle blanket, if you are riding English then choose an English saddle pad.
