I think it would be great on a thinner horse.
It's done what it says, keeps my horse dry and it looks great. There's just a fit issue on my beautifully voluminous quarter horse mare. Her butt stays under and everything fine but it's the front clasps. I got one with the hood and for some reason it's SO tight. I'm not saying this is a bad product, but for some reason it just does not fit my girl. Her neck might be too thick, who knows! But I'd probably steer clear of lower head set/thicker horses like my mare for the hood at least.

Durable, bright, cozy
This blanket is the perfect weight for Carolina winters where we rarely need to use mediums/heavy blankets. It provides more warmth than a sheet for my Thoroughbred and fits him nicely. The 1200D is the same quality as a Rambo that costs twice as much.

Great blanket
I bought this to replace my horses old blanket. I needed a lighter weight as I have 2 heavy ones. You are the only place that even had any in his size!

Like the Way it Fits Her
A lot of heavier blankets rub her mane out and don't fit quite right. The Shires brand seems to be a good fit for her. This didn't disappoint in the way it falls and the overall fit. Looking forward to using it next winter.

Good blanket
Lasted one season before a front buckle broke. Was a fairly easy fix. Fit my THICK TB as well as my QHs. I like the fit and style well enough and at the low price point I wasn’t super surprised when the buckle broke. Overall I liked the blanket.

An Ok blanket but not the best fit for my Iberian
The neck size was tight for my Iberian and the body shaping not very specific so blanket keeps shifting backward. It also runs large which doesn't help. hardware and fabric quality is fine. Delivery was quick which I appreciated. Could use leg straps as tail strap does not adjust and is clumsy to use.

Runs big but beautiful quality
Our horses seem to love the blankets! We purchased these because we just bought our farm, and there is no shelter for the horses (next big project). The blankets are heavy duty and keeps the boys dry. I rated a four star because we followed the measurement instructions, but the blankets are a little long from front to back.

Nice Blanket!
I bought a lightweight to layer with other blankets for our mare who seems to be confused about winter. She doesn't have much of a natural winter coat so this blanket works great for days when she doesn't need a mid-weight or heavy blanket. Lovely color! Fits her well and I can adjust it down to fit a smaller horse if needed.
Seems to be holding up well but our horses aren't rough on blankets.

Lasted 1 week
Extremely disappointed in this purchase. I purchased two for two of my older boys to replace their older weatherbeetas but after one week I had to get the old blanket back out for one. Both belly buckles broke! I have never had this trouble before and thought this was a better quality blanket I would definitely not recommend or buy again. Also the chest buckled do not adjust like other blankets.
