Introducing a Fabulous Designer of Horse Pads!


Jane Augenstein over at Gilly Wear custom designs pads for horses.  This one above is using one of my own designs, called Wild Mustang, available at my Spoonflower store or in my Etsy Store. 

Jane says the reason why she started making these was:

I made these unique Gilly Wear saddle pads to answer a longstanding problem. How does one dry a saddle pad whose rubber shock pad can’t go in the dryer? I decided to make Gilly a new quilted saddle pad, fitted with a pocket where I could insert the rubber shock pad. As long as I was making it by hand, why not use my sewing and quilting skills to create a beautiful one-of-a-kind designer saddle pad? And so Gilly Wear was born.

I use 100% cotton designer fabric for the top of the pad, poly/cotton batting and a plain backing fabric. Gilly Wear Royal pads are made of rich designer drapery fabrics with poly batting and wool backing.
