Hand‑woven Navajo Aztec Pattern Saddle Blankets & Horse Pads
For more than 80 years, we’ve led the way in premium hand-woven saddle blankets.
Since 1944, our mission has been to bring the artistry of Mayan and Aztec weaving traditions to the equine world, crafting truly unique, handmade saddle pads that are as functional as they are beautiful. Today, that legacy lives on through our community of master craftsmen who blend time-honored techniques with modern innovation, creating pieces that elevate both the horse’s comfort and the rider’s style.

Visit our featured Mayatex Saddle Blanket ideas for use in interior design. Most of these blankets are in the 3X5 Range which allows for large applications to furniture or floor rug ideas.
Length of Blanket
Order blankets that will be 2" - 4" longer horizontally than the pad you are saddling up with. This allows for better comfort for the horse and ultimately, you the rider!
Drop of Blanket
Order blanket that will leave enough room for you to place show numbers etc on the sides. Not enough drop means your show number will be under the skirt, or hang below the blanket.
