Horse Blankets — Outdoor, Stable, and Fly
Updated: May 2026 · Written by the Rincón del Valle technical team
Horse blankets — turnout, stable, and fly sheets — play a key role in horse welfare. They protect against cold, rain, insects, or help with drying after exercise.
What to consider when choosing horse blankets — turnout, stable, and fly sheets?
Below, we review the technical criteria that have the most impact on the final decision. These are the same criteria we use in the store when a customer asks us.
- Weight. No fill (0g) for summer and drying, 100-200g for mid-season, 300-400g for winter. Clipped horses need more weight.
- Waterproofing. For outdoor use, it is measured in millimeters of water column: 1,500 mm minimum, 3,000 mm ideal for rainy areas like Galicia.
- Size. Measured from the center of the chest to the base of the tail. This measurement in cm is the blanket size (95 to 175 cm for standard horses).
- Fastening system. Double cross surcingle for greater stability; tail flap optional but recommended for outdoor use.
