Anyone have a Cottage Craft Apollo Saddlecloth - Pics and Opinions?

[Javabb94]

Some of you may remember my other thread about the equiport saddlecloth - well i have decided on aqua blue which equiport dont do!

The only saddlecloth I can find in a sort of electric blue/aqua blue is the Cottage Craft Apollo saddlecloth!

Its quite good as its cheap at £16!

Just wondering on quality really - I was planning on cutting the straps to fit my monoflap saddle!
Its so cheap I wont mind as much if I botch the job!

Its virtually impossible to find a saddlecloth in that colour with d ring straps unless you want black, brown or white!

Any pics of them on would be appreciated too

Of course any other suggestions appreciated also

thanks

I have the turquoise one - quality is ok but I think it's a little short width-wise as it sits a wee bit higher than the bottom of my saddle flap.
let me see if I can find a pic for you

What a coincidence! i just did a search for threads on it and I read that you had bought one haha and was just thinking about pm-ing you

I have an ideal impala pro so its quite short flapped but my horse is 15.2hh so should be ok!

I was thinking of this colour as I have a navy show jacket, navy hat, and a pale blue stock shirt and blue blingy browband so I thought this saddlecloth would look really nice as the navy piping would match my jacket and the aqua blue would really stand out on him as he is bright bay!

for £16 you can't go wrong
Shame it doesn't come in a high-withers version
