I would not limit myself to looking for precut strips. If you look for yardage I think you will be more successful. I would look at Connecting Threads and as mentioned look at Stonehenge fabric. Not batik, but lots of texture.

Just a suggestion. Have you thought of taking a picture of her while doing dressage. Then take that silhouette and applique it on a background that has the look of the dressage ring?? Never cared for dressage but have always loved the jumping. Mostly exercised Polo ponies to earn my way thru college.

Good idea from Maniac.....that silhouette effect is simple but beautiful. Personally loved all aspects of showjumping - remember as a child growing up watching BBC1 televising the annual Horse of the Year show along with some famous (well famous to us Brits) riders - Nick Skelton and my personal favourite Yorkshireman Harvey Smith. Please be sure to post a picture when you have it done !

Try some hand dyes and I agree stonehenge fabric has a lot of texture.
I love horses, used to ride as a kid and now am lucky enough to work one morning a week with a client who attends Riding for the Disabled. She loves riding and I love leading her around whilst she does her lesson. We also spend a lot of time bonding with the horses and ponies, grooming and feeding as well as some arena work (she did lunging last week).
All the best with your idea and don't forget to show us.....we love pictures.

Thousands of bolts has a lot of choices http://www.thousandsofbolts.com/inde...search_string=
I like to actually look at the fabric up close, so have never ordered from them, but really do like to look at all the possibilities there.
