While used for riding or as rugs, saddle blankets are more than just utilitarian pieces. They are works of art created as double weaves, two-faced weavings, tufted angoras, and twills and continue to be used by the Navajo and the cowboys of the West as well as collected as art pieces. This book presents a fascinating history of the evolution of the saddle blanket.
