Extended Information
Cleaning and Storage
At the end of each season, blankets are washed with specific products that preserve their waterproofing. Thick blankets require dry cleaning with equine technology. Store them clean and dry in a breathable bag. Wet blankets stored without drying will mold and suffer irreversible damage.
When to Blanket
It depends on the horse, climate, and management. Clipped horses do need blankets in winter. Unclipped and acclimated horses rarely need them, except in very cold climates. Over-blanketing with an excessive blanket prevents natural thermoregulation and weakens the horse in the medium term.
