Hand Dyed cotton denim on top. Many dyed with hot wax to resist the dye in a process known as batik. These pads feature cotton canvas or
ticking underneath for very long wear and cotton batting inside for absorbption. I have a protype with denim on top and cotton
batting that I have been using on Janow and washing for years. These pads are heavier and thicker than the standard commercial pads, but
not enough to affect your saddle fit. Treated with Granger's G-Line Sun Shield to resist fading in UV light. Cold wash, no bleach, air dry,
like most pads. |

A Fun and super affordable way to be unique. The perfect accent to show off that
transition or lateral movement or stand out from the pack on the rail.
Quilt blocks are made with quilt shop quality cotton, and this year I've added batik blocks hand made on cotton twill. Pellon batt to add dimension. The color block is treated with Granger's G-line Sun Sheild to resist fading in UV light. Cold wash, no bleach, air dry, like most pads. |

Marmalade Dressage Pad 905 This dressage saddle pad is 26 inches front to back when measured at the biggest part and 23 inches from spine bottom when measured at the girth keeper. The batik was inspired by folk art from Mexico, in an orange color to complement chestnuts. The blue flags would look awesome on a black horse too. While sewing this one, I was reminded of the joke "What did one chick say to the other when the hen layed an orange? Look at the orange marmalade!" Quilted in orange thread, naturally. |

Oceanic Dressage Pad 872 Hand dyed batik with spirals in an almost marine color combination, it looks mariney to me. Is
this name in reference to something on TV? Is it any coincidence that I buy supplies from Dharma Trading Company?
These are good questions. | |||

Hand dyed using traditional batik, this pad features a snail. Slow and steady, the snail goes up one side and
down the other without spooking. Perhaps this pad can impart his character on your horse, or maybe it describes
your horse. Quilted with white thread in a hanging diamond pattern. |

Hand dyed using traditional batik in circles inspired by antique carousel horses who are always able to make
perfectly round circles that are the perfect size. Tom suggested the name, which is perfect, of course! Quilted with white thread in a hanging diamond pattern. | |||

Purple Mariner's Compass Dressage Pad 821 This dressage cut pad features a Mariners Compass quilt block. The denim is hand dyed purple.
Measured from front to back at the widest part, it is 25 inches. Top to bottom at the front of the billet keepers is 21 inches. The bottom is red and white striped ticking. (So cute!)This pad is a little lighter weight than the batik pads below. It has been treated with Granger's G-Line UV protectant. This pad was made to go in a non-juried quilt show and isnt exactly what I would have liked due to the deadline. I didn't dye enough denim for the spine so I used undyed denim. The applique isnt quite lined up right side to left side. You can see that in the last picture. I've priced this one as a prototype. $35.00

Buying & Shipping
The shopping cart here is from PayPal, so you can pay with your credit card and get their buyer protection
policies. You don't need a PayPal account to pay with PayPal. I take other forms of payment as well.
ADD TO CART--These buttons will have a drop down menu that lets you select the shipping cost. Yes, I know, kind of freaky.
If there is any confusion, we'll clear it up before I ship your order. If you over-pay, refunds are fast and easy with PayPal.
Shipping--The shipping cost is combined with the purchase price in the shopping cart button. This is how I tricked the shopping
cart to lower the cost of combining shipping for multiple items.
When you buy, select the "first" for your first item and select "additional"
for you second item of the same kind.
If you buy a pad and a sweatshirt, you must pick the "first" for each of these because they
are different types of items. The "first" pad and the "first" sweatshirt.
Milpitas--This is the third ADD TO CART selection. There are no shipping costs if you can take delivery in Milpitas or IHR.
To preserve my warm fuzzy feelings, it must be a public place and it must be daylight. Any exceptions must be previously arranged.
Applicable sales tax is included in the price.
