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 have a four year old quarter horse. She has a lot of fur during the winter. She stays out in a pasture with no shelter, and I don’t know whether to get a medium-weight, heavy-weight, or some other kind. I just want one to keep my horse warm and dry.
I can’t add a shelter because I keep her at a boarding stable.
It usually doesn’t get below 30 degrees except maybe at night.
Also, do you know of any good brands that aren’t too expensive? Or websites that sell blankets?
Im looking for an internet site where I can buy a heavy weight, tough, long lasting, water-proof, breathable horse winter blanket. I am also going to double blanket my horse. But i dont know if i should put a body, lycra sheet under the winbter blanket or just a breathable fleece sheet? What do u guys thinks about double blanketing? Thanks guys!!! 
I have searched the web and not found any stockists of Rambo horse rugs in Australia only – do you know of any??
Need a synthetic combo with at least 1200 denier outer and at least 400 pollyfil – my guy really feels the cold!
If you dont know of any stockist of rambo rugs in Australia – any other suggestions would be appreciated (as to where i can get a really warm rug).
Please no horseland etc as i will not buy weatherbeeta rugs again they are cheaply made and not worth the money!
taka combo heavy weight lasts 1 season if your lucky.
Because horse blankets are used for so many different situations, it shouldn’t be surprising for you to find that there are many different types of horse blankets and sheets.
