If you need assistance with your return, please give us a call at 1-800-461-8898. This is recommended for more complicated returns – for example, if your item is damaged, if you'd like to make an even exchange instead of a return, or if you received an item as a gift.

Free 45-day returns on sized items

As riders, we know that it can be tough to buy new tack or a pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn). From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! If you complete your return online or by phone within 45 days of the purchase date, and the item is in like-new condition with the original packaging, you can return it, free. We'll provide you with a SmartEquine pre-paid return label. Some sized items are eligible for free returns but may require special handling. Find out more in the section below.

A SmartEquine pre-paid return label will not be provided for sized items returned within 46-60 days of the original purchase date, and you will be responsible for paying any return shipping fees.

Special Instructions

If you're trying on a new blanket for fit, please keep the tags attached and use a clean sheet underneath to keep the blanket in like-new condition in case you need to return it.

For Ultimate turnout blankets and sheets covered by our 10-Year Indestructible Guarantee, and Ultimate stable blankets and fly sheets covered by our 3-Year Durability Guarantee:

  • If anything happens to them within their respective warranty lengths, we'll exchange it for a new one in the same size – no matter what! It's that easy.
  • The guarantee does not cover blankets that have embroidery stitched anywhere other than the surcingle straps, as it compromises the integrity of the blanket.
  • If it is eligible under our Guarantee, contact our Customer Care Team to initiate getting a replacement!

Used blankets that are being returned due to damage or defect must be washed before being returned. We cannot process returns on unwashed blankets. Have questions about returning your blanket? Our Customer Care Team is just a call, click, or text away!

Items that are personalized with embroidery or engraving are eligible for a full refund or exchange. These items need to be in like-new condition with tags and packaging intact, unless there's a defect. For defective returns, items need to be washed/cleaned before being returned. We cannot process returns on soiled items.

Please contact our Customer Care Team to initiate a return or exchange on damaged, defective, or warrantied items.

Items returned 46-60 days of the original purchase date will only be eligible for an account credit.

After the carrier scans the return shipping label for the box(es) containing your item(s) sent back for return, please check each returned item in your order history for updates on the status of that item.

  • Refunds: After your return has been processed, refunds will only be issued to the original payment method(s) and may take 3-5 days to post to your bank or PayPal account.
  • Account credits: will be issued as soon as the return has been processed and will automatically apply to your next order.
  • Apple Pay: All orders using Apple Pay will be refunded to the credit card associated with the Apple Pay account.
