It does not rip...it is waterproof...sun resistant to rotting and fading. I have been making these for 35 years. Satisfaction is guaranteed. I ship all over the country. Look for a blanket that is form fit...you don't want those big floppy ones that hang all over your horse. They fall apart...and they are imported....not good materials. My horses live outside all winter long in sub zero minus temps. They do fine in these outside...... My cell is 360-421-1053 if I can be of further help to you.

Since she will be outside, in the elements, I would blanket her as you see fit- if she looks cold (shivering etc) with a blanket that it warm and waterproof. I personally love Weathabeeta and Rambo for good, sturdy, warm blankets. If a barn is available you might ask that she be brought nights in for a week or so to let her hair grow a bit before you toss a blanket on her, as she wont grow a wonderful fuzzy coat if she's always blanketed regardless of how cold it gets. Also, if she's not used to the cold, monitor her carefully for water intake, changes in appetite and signs of colic. your horse can acclimate, but only if given enough time.

No blankets. Your horse has time to acclimate if your move is soon. If it'll be a later move I'd just find something with Thinsulate in it. If you go back to the Pets category in Yahoo Answers you can ask this question in the Horse section instead of Other-Pets (Home>Pets>Horses). Other-Pets are more for Ferrets, Rabbits, Hampters.. there is an actual section for horses where you might find better info.
