Horse-Themed Cushions & Throws | Emmers Equestrian
Cushions and throws with a horse motif bring a bit of equestrian style into the home, on the sofa, in the bedroom, or in the seating corner of a tack room. They're a home accessory rather than tack, so if you're actually shopping for something for your horse, you'll want a horse rug instead. What makes one worth buying usually comes down to what's inside, not just the print on the front.
A printed polyester cover is affordable, easy to keep clean, and a safe everyday choice. A woven or embroidered wool piece costs more but feels warmer, holds its shape better, and tends to last for years rather than seasons.
Tips for Choosing
- Check the filling, not just the design; wool, down, and polyester all feel and wear differently, even under the same print.
- If you want something easy to care for, polyester is the most forgiving choice.
- Buying as a gift? A cushion and throw in the same design feel more considered than a single piece.
- Sizes vary more than photos suggest, so double-check the dimensions before buying, especially for throws.
- If allergies are a concern, ask about the filling; down isn't the best option for everyone.
Frequently asked questions
s this the same as a horse rug?
No, a horse rug is worn by the horse. These cushions and throws are for your home.
Can I machine wash them?
Polyester covers usually can be washed on a normal cycle. Wool pieces need cold water and gentle care and shouldn't go in the tumble dryer.
What size should I expect?
Cushions are typically around 45 x 45 cm, and throws around 130 x 170 cm, though this varies by design.
Is wool actually worth the extra cost?
For most people, yes, if it'll get regular use; it's warmer and more durable but does need a bit more care than polyester.
Are down-filled cushions okay for people with allergies?
Not always. If that's a concern, a polyester or hollow-fiber filling is the safer pick.
