What to Consider When Choosing a BlanketConsider whether your horse:
To these considerations, factor in weather conditions and temperatures for the day. Always err on the side of a lower weight blanket rather than a heavier weight. If your horse becomes overheated, he can perspire inside the blanket. The moisture can then cause chills as he cools. |
Turnout Blanket Weights

How to Size Your Horse For a BlanketA good fit in a blanket is essential for comfort and security. The blanket is placed flat and smooth with fastenings undone. Any gussets or darts would be spread flat, too. A soft fabric tape measure with inch measurements runs from front binding to back binding, and sits just at base of the neck opening To determine the size blanket your horse needs, stand him squarely on level ground. Use a soft fabric tape measure running from the center of your horses chest (where the base of the neck meets the chest) over the point of his shoulder, to the point at which you want the blanket to end. The inch measurement you obtain translates to the blanket size you should try. |
How to Check Blanket Fit

Stable Sheets
A stable sheet is a fitted item of horse clothing intended only to help keep your horse clean and dust free. It can be made from a number of lightweight fabrics, from cotton to nylon to polypropylene. A stable sheet can often be used to perform the role of a dress sheet for traveling to competitions. Dover Saddlery is pleased to offer an array of stable sheets for horses and ponies. Choose from all the leading brands and a great variety of plaids and solid colors.
Stable Blankets
Stable blankets are made to keep horses cozy inside a barn. They’re usually quilted and come in a wide range of weights from 100 to 400 grams of fill. They’re also usually not waterproof, but many are water-repellent or moisture-resistant to guard against urine or manure stains. The use of a stable blanket allows you to replace a horse’s heavier wet outerwear with a loftier item that will keep him warm while he’s in his stall with restricted freedom of motion. The cut of a stable blanket is more fitted or contoured than the cut of a turnout blanket.
Coolers and Anti-Sweat Sheets
Protect your wet horse from chills as he dries with a horse cooler or Irish knit anti-sweat sheet. A cooler wicks moisture and offers maximum draft protection, while an anti-sweat sheet allows hot air to escape as hair dries.
Quarter Sheets
An exercise rug, sometimes called a quarter sheet or riding blanket, covers a horse’s hindquarters. Exercise rugs come in two basic types to serve different purposes. One type is made of a waterproof material designed to help keep a horse dry while riding during wet weather. The other type of exercise rug is made of either wool or synthetic fleece fabric. This cozy covering helps keep your horse’s muscles warm during cold weather workouts. It can be used throughout a ride or just for warm-ups and cool-downs to prevent muscles from getting chilled.
