Cute pattern, warm and useful.  I am not using it as a throw currently, I am using it as pretty saddle cover.  I used to have my horse Shadow (who is now deceased) in my backyard and kept the saddle by the back door.  Although Shadow has been gone these many years I'm sentimentally attached to his saddle and the memories of tacking up in my patio area and riding out from there (some of the best times of my life were riding in the mountains behind my house - the city changed my zoning and my neighbor made sure I had to move my horse elsewhere for the last few years of his life.... and when I became self-employed all my extra time for things like riding for hours in the hills has escaped me). The saddle and bridle was sitting there getting bleached by the sun that comes through that window, so I've covered it with the pretty throw.
