Your Fancy Show Pad Is Getting Wrecked Every Ride
A $100 show pad absorbs a season of sweat and arena grime in just a few weeks — unless something is underneath it. This classic Navajo blanket is thin enough to add zero bulk, vibrant enough to dress up any look, and tough enough to take the punishment your show pad should never see.
Crafted in a colorful acrylic/cotton blend with authentic Navajo designs, it works as a daily rider, a show ring liner, or a decorative stall piece. Wash it, pile it, and do it again.
Show Pads Suffer So You Don't Notice
Most riders invest real money in a quality wool or orthopedic show pad, then subject it to sweat, dirt, and friction every single ride. By mid-season, that pad is stained, compressed, and losing its function — and there was never a reason it had to happen. A simple liner catches everything before it reaches the pad you paid for.
Every Ride Without a Liner Is Shortening That Pad's Life
Sweat salts break down wool fibers. Arena clay grinds into felt and foam. The oils from a horse's back build up and compress the very material that's supposed to cushion his spine. What you spent on that show pad erodes with every unprotected workout, and you're one season away from a flat, stained, ineffective pad that you'll have to replace.
- ✗Expensive show pads stain and compress from daily sweat and grime
- ✗Cleaning thick pads takes hours and often damages fibers
- ✗Replacing show pads every season adds up to hundreds of dollars
- ✗Sweat salts and oils degrade cushioning and wicking performance over time
The Navajo Liner That Takes the Abuse So Your Show Pad Doesn't Have To
At just the right thickness — thin enough to add zero bulk but substantial enough to intercept sweat and dirt — this Dura-Tech Navajo blanket acts as a sacrificial layer between your horse and your good pad. It washes fast, dries fast, and costs a fraction of what it protects. The classic Navajo design makes it look intentional in any Western setting.

What Riders Are Saying
"
I use this under my nice show pad every single time. My good pad still looks new after two full seasons. Wash the Navajo, hang it up, done. Absolute barn staple at this price.
""
Bought three in different colorways. They look great hanging in the stall and work perfectly as liners. The colors are way more vivid in person than in the photos — really pop in the show pen.

Light enough that my horse barely notices it under the saddle. No extra bulk, no slipping, and my expensive wool pad stays clean. Worth every penny and then some.
