CULTURED COWBOY PRESENTS

Mayatex Saddle Pads

SO many people wanted a simple one-piece pad system between horse and saddle, that Mayatex has listened. And, Mayatex has also offered pads by themselves, to be used as an underpad with their world famous saddle blankets. 

Mayatex has a system that will allow almost all their blankets to become pads. Below, in sections, you'll see how to pick your favorite.   Contoured backs, or not, Cultured Cowboy offers so many choices, that something will work great on your horse, no matter which shape, form, or age, it is today!

Wear leathers are an option on most Mayatex blankets. Wear leathers become more important, the rougher your equestrian sport happens to be. The leathers take the beating that your woven fabric would have endured. There are basic wear leathers for great protection, and tooled leathers for the show ring. Roper styled will add more areas of protection for those of us who use a breast collar and/or rear flanks, or center fire rigging. Cultured Cowboy will be tickled to add a horsehair tickler, or Montana Silver Conchos to your saddleblankets. You can see the Montana Silver trim by clicking here. Just let us know light or dark on the horsehair tassels. 

Mayatex is offering custom Embroidery now. Get your sponsor, your farm, your brand, your identity in front of others in a subtle manner. Choose between embroidering the wear leathers, or the corner of your blanket. 

Cultured Cowboy knows there are different needs that require a variety of blankets. Whether you need a thinner saddle blanket to color up, or a thicker saddle blanket for adequate protection while pulling or roping, we are proud to help you find your best choice. The acrylic blankets are wear resistant, but not as gentle on your horse. Still, they are among the most sold in our industry. I have had great success with hospital felts in the deep south where days can easily exceed 90 degrees. Priced each, and in quantities. New Zealand wools are the best for immediate contact between saddle and horse, but they require more care. Cultured Cowboy cheats...we offer them all, in a variety of sizes and styles!

Cultured Cowboy has a large selection of blankets with more always coming in.   If you don't see colors you are looking for, give us a call toll-free at 1(866) 4 926 926 or e-mail us.  If your choice is not in stock, we will do our best to get it for you.  If you have an Arabian, check out our Arabian Saddle Blanket page.  To choose your own colors, Cultured Cowboy offers Custom Saddle Blankets.   Also be sure to browse through Cultured Cowboy's complete selection of Pleasure, Work, and Show Saddles & Tack.

Saddle Blanket Care: Hand wash your best blankets in cold water. Use your fingers to work your water through the fibers as needed. Washing machines will tear your investments all apart! If you must use a detergent, use a very mild dish detergent, or the same mild shampoo you would use on your hair. Rinse with cold water. Using salty water will help set the colors on your brightest colored blankets. On show blankets with wear leathers, use much caution not to get the tooled wear leathers too wet. Tooling will dissipate when soaked. Dyes will bleed onto each other. SPOT WASH only what is dirty. Use Lexol on the wear leathers after cleaning to recondition your leather. Keep your leather conditioner at least 1/4 inch from the edges of your blanket's woven fabric. The conditioner will bleed into those edges. If you get too close, you can cause the leather's dye to bleed onto the woven fibers. If this happens, it will never come back out. Take your time.   NOTE: If you are using your blankets directly on the back of your horse, rather than with a bottom liner pad, Mayatex advises that even soaps made for fine wools can have surfactant residue left within the fibers. This surfactant will show itself at the next heavy sweating. 

On barn blankets, bottom blankets, or really every blanket, unless it really gets filthy (stinky): I'll rinse them off with a water hose and hang them over a wooden rail to dry in the sun. I can brush off the excess hair from Spring shedding with the same medium to soft horse brush or rubber curry that I use on my horse. If they get really muddy, use a pressure sprayer on your hose. Stand back & squirt! Pressure washers can damage the fibers. If it'll get down low enough use it, but be careful.  For more Info Click Here to the Saddle Blanket Care page.
