Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size horse blanket?

Choosing the right size blanket is essential for comfort and freedom of movement, and for preventing chafing. Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the end of the buttock. This is the standard measurement for horse blankets. Compare this to our size chart to determine the best fit. A blanket that's too small can cause chafing and restrict movement, while a blanket that's too large can shift and not provide sufficient protection. If in doubt, go up a size and always check that the blanket fits snugly without being too tight.

This helps prevent colds and muscle problems and ensures that your horse performs optimally and feels good.

The right blanket for your horse depends on several factors, such as the weather, housing, your horse's coat, and activity level.
