Types and grammage
Blankets are classified by grammage (filling weight per square meter): light (50-100 g) for mild weather, medium (150-200 g) for mild winter, thick (300-400 g) for cold winters. Fly sheets are fine fabric for summer. Waterproof blankets have a technical outer layer. Stable blankets (non-waterproof) are only used in the stall.
Fit and inspection
A well-fitting blanket covers from the withers to the tail, with straps tight enough to prevent shifting but not constricting. Tail and chest straps maintain position. It should be checked daily: rubbing on the withers and shoulders is common if the size is incorrect.
Frequently asked questions
When should I blanket my horse?
It depends on the horse, clipping, climate, and management. Over-blanketing is counterproductive.
How do I wash a blanket?
With specific products that preserve waterproofing. Thick blankets require equestrian dry cleaning.
How do I choose the size?
By measuring from the center of the chest to the base of the tail. Each brand has its own chart.
