What are Cutter Classic Saddle Blankets made of?
Cutter Classic Saddle Blankets feature 100% Merino wool fleece under a wide variety of patterns and solid-colored wool blankets in many colors. Each pad also has leather wear-leathers and a layer of breathable, antimicrobial hospital-bed padding in between. The pads are built by hand at the company's place in Marietta, Oklahoma.
Will a Cutter Classic pad keep my saddle from slipping and prevent a sore back?
Yes. A layer of pure Merino wool fleece sits between you and your horse to help stop saddles from slipping, shifting, or rocking sideways and to ease sore backs. The pads softly mold to your horse's back rather than soaking up sweat, and many riders report years of comfortable, no-slip use.
Why is Merino wool used for the saddle pads?
Merino sheep have been prized for centuries for the quality of their wool, which is finely crimped, durable, and incredibly soft. Pads made with this wool are exquisitely comfortable for horses and help make time under saddle less of a strain, both mentally and physically. The wool doesn't soak up sweat and sprays clean with water, so the pads last for years.
Does Cutter Classic make an alpaca saddle blanket?
Yes. Cutter Classic Saddle Blankets has teamed up with 3H Alpaca Farms of Calera, OK to create an alpaca saddle blanket backed with Merino fleece. The alpaca offers strength, durability, and softness in 22 beautiful natural colors, and each blanket is hand-woven by craftsmen in West Texas, so every one is unique. The Alpaca line is priced at $270.00 plus shipping.
What is the difference between the Everyday Pad and the Ranch Pad?
The Cutter Classic Everyday Pad is an economical work pad with 100% Merino fleece and the same quality padding, but covered with canvas instead of a wool top; it's full sized at 34"x36" and priced at $185-$200. The Cutter Classic Ranch Pad adds an extra layer of padding between the Merino fleece and canvas to stay soft and flexible through long days, and it's priced at $185-$220. Both come with long wear-leathers (the Everyday's extend under the girth and the Ranch's under the back girth) and clean up easily with water.
Can I use one Cutter Classic pad for work, training, and the show pen?
Yes. These blankets are made for work or pleasure riding, the training barn, and the show pen, and the same pad can serve all of those purposes. They keep their good looks under hard use, which is why riders describe them as beautiful yet rugged.
