KEY FEATURES

UNMATCHED WOOL CONSTRUCTION Harnessing the natural benefits of 100% pure wool for superior performance and comfort. • PURE, NATURAL FIBRE: 100% premium wool ensures breathability, moisture-wicking, and odour resistance. • NATURAL THERMO-REGULATION: Keeps your horse comfortable by insulating against both cold and heat. • LUXURIOUS DRAPE & FIT: The substantial weight and natural flexibility of the wool create a sleek, professional silhouette.

SHOW-RING ELEGANCE Designed with meticulous attention to detail for a flawless presentation under the judge's eye. • TAILORED SHOW CUT: Specifically designed to sit perfectly under a show saddle, complementing the horse's topline. • DURABLE BRASS FITTINGS: Solid brass buckles and hardware that resist corrosion and add a touch of classic brilliance. • REINFORCED SEAM CONSTRUCTION: Key stress points are double-stitched for durability that withstands daily use.

PREMIUM MATERIALS & FINISHING Every element is selected to uphold the highest standards of quality and tradition. • HERITAGE-GRADE WOOL: Sourced from specialist mills for a consistent, high-density weave that resists pilling. • SILK-SATIN LINING: A luxurious, smooth lining protects the coat from friction and allows for easy placement and removal. • HAND-FINISHED EDGES: Bound edges with contrasting piping provide a clean, traditional look and extended lifespan.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

CRAFTSMANSHIP & CONSTRUCTION

TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR MODERN CHAMPIONS Built to the legacy standards of fine equestrian apparel. • PATTERN-MATCHED CONSTRUCTION: The blanket is cut and sewn to ensure the grain of the wool flows correctly for optimal drape. • DOUBLE-STITCHED SEAMS: Provides exceptional strength at all stress points, from the chest to the leg straps. • EXPERT BUCKLE PLACEMENT: Brass dees and buckles are positioned for a secure, gap-free fit that enhances the horse's shoulder.

OWNER'S EXPERIENCE The thoughtful details that make a difference for the competitive equestrian. • ELEGANT STORAGE BAG: Includes a breathable cotton storage bag to protect the blanket from moths and dust. • COAT-READY FINISH: The smooth satin lining and soft wool exterior help maintain a perfectly groomed coat. • CLASSIC EQUINE QUALITY PROMISE: Guaranteed craftsmanship and materials, built for the rigors of the show circuit.

PERFORMANCE & INNOVATION

THE SCIENCE OF NATURAL FIBRE Pure wool offers performance benefits that synthetic materials cannot replicate. • MOISTURE MANAGEMENT: Wool naturally wicks sweat away from the coat, keeping the horse dry and comfortable. • ODOUR RESISTANCE: The natural fibre inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause unpleasant smells. • RESILIENT & DURABLE: Wool fibres are naturally elastic, allowing the blanket to retain its shape and appearance over time.

PROVENANCE & HERITAGE

A LEGACY OF EQUESTRIAN ELEGANCE The Show Blanket embodies a century of tradition in equine presentation. • A STAPLE OF CHAMPIONS: The design and material have been the hidden secret of top stables for generations. • UNCOMPROMISED QUALITY: In an era of synthetics, we remain committed to the superior performance of natural materials. • THE MARK OF A CONNOISSEUR: Shows a deep understanding of what truly benefits the horse, both in comfort and presentation.
