How can i make my own saddle pad?

Question

is there a site that has patterns for FREE for saddle pads, helmet covers, and saddle covers. any suggestions?

Answer 1

we used to make square saddle pads out of old blankets folded over with a running blanket stitch all around the outside in a contrasting colour and the horse's name embroidered in the same colour.

Answer 2

No, there is nothing free. But what i did was i borrowed one of my trainers saddle pads and i traced it onto fabric that i picked out from a fabric store, cut it out and sewed it, leaving a little room for stuffing. Then I took thick quilted fabric, traced that too and put it inside, sewed the little space up and voila, i had a saddle pad. Costs around $10 if you buy discount fabric and around $25 if you get expensive fabric. Good luck!
