Where to buy horse blankets?
Horse blankets can be purchased at physical equestrian stores and specialized online stores. It is important to check the type (turnout, stable, fly sheet), the fill weight according to the season, and the horse's size (measurement from the center of the chest to the base of the tail, in centimeters).
Types by use
Waterproof turnout for the paddock. Soft stable blankets for the stall. Fly sheets for summer. Coolers for drying after exercise. Each has its specific use.
Fill weight by temperature
0g (no fill) for mild temperatures or fly sheet use. 100-200g for transitional weather. 300-400g for intense cold. Clipped horses need a higher fill weight.
Reference brands
Horseware (Rambo), Bucas, Kentucky, Eskadron, HKM, Equithème. Each brand has different ranges depending on fill weight and waterproofing level.

Types and fill weight
Blankets are classified by fill weight (weight of fill per square meter): light (50-100 g) for transitional weather, medium (150-200 g) for mild winter, heavy (300-400 g) for cold winters. Fly sheets are thin fabric for summer. Waterproof blankets have a technical outer layer. Stable blankets (non-waterproof) are used only in the stall.
Fit and inspection
A well-fitted blanket covers from the wither to the tail, with surcingles tight enough to prevent shifting but not constricting. Tail and chest straps maintain position. Daily inspection is needed: rub marks on the wither and shoulder are common if the size is incorrect.
