Fitting Your Horse’s Blanket
The fit of your blanket is extremely important
to the comfort of your horse. An improperly fitted blanket can cause rubbing
and slippage. Stand your horse as square as possible, measure from the
center of chest around side of the body to the point of the horse's rump just
before the tail. If you horse ends up measuring between sizes always round up
to the next size to ensure full coverage.
Caring For Your Horse’s
Blanket
Washing Instructions – Remove excess dirt from
your blanket with a brush and hose. Machine wash with cold water on Gentle
cycle with mild detergent. Air Dry or Machine Dry/No Heat.
Horses Turned Outside without Shelter - Turnout
Sheet and Blanket materials are waterproof and designed to keep your horse dry,
however if your horse is turned out in a field without a run in shed or shelter
during prolonged rain or heavy downpours your horse may still get wet
especially in the neck and tail areas.
When using a blanket or sheet it is critical to
monitor the fluctuating climate and temperatures even with a blanket that is
waterproof and breathable. The wicking properties of a breathable blanket are
designed to wick away normal body heat, when a blanket is too heavy the heat
and moisture cannot be wicked away fast enough causing your horse to sweat. The
temperature and the length of your horse’s coat will determine what weight of blanket
you should use. For this reason, most people who choose to blanket horses have
several articles of horse clothing that offer varying levels of warmth. When selecting a blanket ensure to take
into account your horse’s behavior, environment or other horses that may be
turned out with your horse. The lower the denier number the less strength the
material has. 420 Denier and 600 Denier are not recommended for horses that
bite, chew or rub on blankets or for horses turned out with a companion or in a
group. Always ensure your horse’s blanket is properly fitted and all
straps are adjusted correctly, if a blanket is too tight or too loose, straps
may break and material may tear. For younger horses or horses turned out
with a companion or in groups, it is recommended to purchase 1200 Denier or
1680 Denier material as these are stronger materials and are less likely to
tear. Certain types of fencing such as barbwire or foreign objects such
as nails will easily tear any blanket no matter what the denier, always inspect
the area in which your horse is kept to remove any nails or jagged fencing that
may cause damage. There are no horse blankets that are guaranteed to not
rip or tear.
