Posts Tagged ‘Blankets’
I live in Southeastern Wisconsin so here’s my question…I am wondering how cold should it be before you start blanketing… I have a sheet, mid weight blanket, and heavy weight. My horse goes out regardless of the weather from about 7am til about 6pm. Are barn is not heated and we only have 7 horses there so at night it doesnt heat up a ton. So for anyone else who blankets there horse(s) would you be able to tell me roughly how cold it is before you put each blanket on.
I’m looking for a good quality blanket for my 14.2 quarter horse that will withstand bites from other horses and won’t rub his shoulders. If you can give a specific model and online store that would be very helpful. Thanks!
I recently bought 3 blankets for my horse:
Anti- Sweat
Heavy Turnout
and a Polo Fleece.
What does the polo fleece do? My barn manager recommended those blankets for us.
My mini is 1 year old and measures 42-43″ for a blanket. If I bought a 46″ one would that be too big? Honestly, she is only going to be wearing it for about a month, and I would like to get one big enough that she could use it again next year, cause blankets are expensive.
I am showing competively in western pleasure, and I don’t want my horse to get a winter coat. I have no clue how many blankets to put on him. If anyone has any suggestions please help
