Estriberas blankets are traditional accessories that occupy an important place in the cowgirl's saddle, reflecting the rich Andalusian and Spanish equestrian culture, especially in the art of classical cowboy dressage. Together with other typical elements, these blankets evoke the essence and elegance of the equestrian high school.

Its origin dates back to ancient times, when horsemen who worked in the fields, especially handling cattle, faced the vagaries of the weather, including cold and rain. Under these conditions, it was essential to have auxiliary clothing that would provide protection and comfort during their long days in the field. The muleteers, aware of these needs, also valued the importance of having a blanket on hand in their daily work.

Thus, the idea of ​​carrying a rolled blanket as a roll or roller on the saddle arose, becoming a practical and functional utensil. These blankets were carefully manufactured in Grazalema, home to the main wool spinning, weaving and finishing factories, ensuring the quality and warmth that riders needed to face the rigors of time.

Over time, footrest blankets have evolved, and today, although they still retain their original functionality, they have taken on a more aesthetic approach. In today's offering, there are ready and unready footboard blankets, made from various materials such as canvas, wool or leather, with some versions including pockets for added practicality.

These blankets, in addition to their practical function, add a touch of style and distinction to the frame. Canvas blankets provide strength and durability, while wool blankets provide softness and warmth on cooler days. On the other hand, the leather ones reflect the elegance and tradition of yesteryear.

Today, the horse blankets continue to be an essential part of the cowboy and high school saddle, keeping alive the rich tradition and equestrian culture of Andalusia and Spain. If you are looking to combine comfort and style during your riding sessions, these footrest blankets are an essential complement to enhance your equestrian experience.
