Extended Information

Cleaning and Storage

At the end of each season, blankets should be washed with specific products that maintain their waterproofing. Thick blankets require dry cleaning with equine-specific technology. Store them clean and dry in a breathable bag. Wet blankets stored without drying will mold and suffer irreversible damage.

When to use a blanket

This depends on the horse, the climate, and how it is managed. Clipped horses do need blankets in winter. Unclipped and acclimatized horses rarely need them, except in very cold climates. Over-blanketing can impede natural thermoregulation and weaken the horse in the medium term.
