Your show blanket is one of the finishing touches that pulls your entire show-pen look together. The right color and pattern should complement your horse and work with your wardrobe, but good looks only go so far. Invest in a quality blanket that can withstand long show seasons, frequent use, and changing trends while still looking sharp every time you ride through the gate.

1. Rich & Rosy

Burgundy, soft pink, sage, and deep chocolate give this blanket a rich Western palette that feels right at home in the ranch horse pen. Play up the warm tones on a red roan, or pair it with chocolate chaps and hat and a soft pink show shirt to pull those warm, earthy shades through your entire show look.

2. True Blue

Classic Equine indigo and lapis blue Aztec-pattern wool show blanket with a bold geometric diamond design

Blue has long been a show-pen staple, and this indigo-and-lapis combination gives the classic color a fresh spin. A bold geometric pattern adds interest beneath the saddle, while the tonal palette makes it an easy piece to work into the show wardrobe you already own.

5Star burgundy, red, and blue Southwestern-pattern wool saddle pad with a wear-leather center

With its bold pattern and desert-inspired shades, this blanket brings a little Southwestern influence to the show pen. With a pattern this striking beneath the saddle, take a less-is-more approach to the rest of your look—pull one shade from the blanket for your show shirt and let the pattern take center stage.
