The Mayatex Flying Eagle is a 38" × 34" saddle blanket woven from 100% New Zealand wool, engineered to absorb sweat and regulate temperature under the saddle while maintaining firm contact and preventing slipping. At 5.0 lbs, its dense weave delivers substantial cushioning and air circulation for horses working through extended rides.
New Zealand wool naturally wicks moisture away from your horse's back, a critical feature for preventing saddle sores and maintaining comfort during daily work. The tightly woven construction stays breathable even under weight, reducing heat buildup that can lead to irritation or poor performance.
The blanket features a striking Navajo-inspired geometric pattern—the Flying Eagle design—rendered in black, taupe, sand, red, and cream. This traditional western aesthetic is both visually distinctive and functional: the varied color pattern helps hide dust and stains common in regular ranch or trail use.
Sizing matters in saddle blankets. The 38" × 34" dimensions are cut to lie flat under a western saddle without bunching or shifting, giving you secure placement that won't require constant adjustment. The model (1466-5) designation ensures you're ordering the exact cut and weight you need for consistent performance across rides.
Built for horses that work, not show. This blanket prioritizes durability and comfort over aesthetics alone, making it a practical choice for everyday use where moisture control and cushioning directly affect your horse's soundness and willingness.
