My friend made mine, however they aren't all that hard to make so it seems. I hope those links help.

Thanks Karen, I will check out the websites. And I also found some cute little fleece "personal throws" type blanketsat WalMart. They were weird colors tho,, I would rather have earth tones, than lime green and teal.

Those colors can be fun for driving at home but I wouldn't try a competition with them. Usually towards fall you can find the other colors. Good luck with your search.

I have made a few driving aprons. Everyone in our carriage club shows in one, no one uses a lab robe or blanket. It's been a few years, but I don't recall anyone using either at the AMHR shows Iattended. I do believe they are required under ADS rules. Here are a few shots of my own apron. I usually use the burgundy side out, but it is completely reversable. I have also done a self lined, all black one, and can do embroidered initials also.
