Protect Your Horse Through the Seasons

Blankets play an important role in providing warmth, protection, and comfort to your horse or pony. Stable blankets and rugs are essentials in many barns during the colder months to offer horses some insulation against the chilly temperatures, rain, and wind. While fly sheets are lightweight options that help guard against bugs and the sun’s harsh rays in warmer climates.

Fitting & Sizing Your Horse for a Blanket

The key to finding a perfectly fitting blanket for your horse is knowing his measurements. Typically, the blanket manufacturer will offer a size chart to help you determine the right size for your horse based on his measurements – here’s some help with measuring your horse for a blanket.

Reading the blanket’s product description and features will shed light on the blanket’s specific design, denier weight, fabric, fill, and closure style. One brand’s sheet may fit your horse a bit differently than another manufacturer, so we recommend reading the product reviews by fellow horse owners. Also, all our blankets are eligible for free return shipping so you can be sure you and your horse will love it!

Properly cleaning and storing your blankets helps to protect your investment for seasons to come. Follow these tips for caring for your horse’s blankets:

• Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your specific blankets and sheets. Many can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, and it’s worth considering using a detergent specially made for horse blankets. It helps to first use a stiff brush to get some of the hair and dirt off and putting the blanket into a mesh bag to contain all the straps.
• Drying: Air dry your blankets in a covered or shady area to prevent the color from fading. Avoid using high-heat dryers to better preserve the blanket’s integrity and waterproofing.
• Folding & Storage: Keep your blankets and sheets neatly folded in a dry, well-ventilated area away from pests and moisture during the off seasons. Blanket racks and stall front storage bags can be helpful during blanketing season to keep things tidy and organized day-to-day.
