I you are looking for a different kind of a western hat then take a look at this one. Crushable, water repellent wool felt Outback Style hat is very versatile and travel friendly. You can roll them up and tuck them away in your pocket, briefcase or bag. Then just take them out and give them a shake and they will pop back into their original shape. They are made of wool felt blend and are ideal for cold and wet weather along with everyday use. The brim is 3″. Colors: Black, Pecan, Khaki and Olive. I really like this style of hat because it gives you a different look than a conventional western hat. This hat can be worn with just about anything you want and still look really good. I would highly recommend this hat to you.

Horse Pads and Blankets

Horse pads and blankets have been around for along time only the materials that there are made from has changed. This include everything from natural fibers, such as cotton and wool, to synthetic fleeces and foams. Many people favor wool because the tighter the weave the more durable and heavier the blanket,and as a wool blanket absorbs sweat, it becomes even heavier. Felt wool is also the top choice for making felt pad. Foam pads dense, closed-cell foam pads provide a lot of cushion with little bulk, and foam absorbs shock well. It does not, however, absorb sweat well. Many horsemen prefer a combination pad of dense foam sandwiched between layers of felt. the foam cushions the shock, and the natural wool felt absorbs a horse”s sweat. I prefer the combination pad and would recommend this kind to all horsemen.
