Winter is on its way and our horses can get sick or even injured if they are allowed to get overly wet and chilled. While horses have evolved to handle certain amounts of cold weather, we have altered their ability to fight the cold by keeping them indoors and by clipping them. As a result, our beloved horses will need a little extra protection from the elements to avoid getting chilled and experiencing joint stiffness. This is especially true after a good workout. As athletes, horses work up a sweat while they exercise as a means of stabilizing their body temperature. This stabilization is important, but getting sweaty on a cold day can lead to illness.
The horse clothing and horse blankets available on the market today provide the perfect solution to this dilemma. Just as riders must wear layers and protective clothing in the colder months, horses also need protection from the elements to remain fit and healthy. You can protect your horse from chilly winter weather using turnout blankets, turnout sheets, and dress sheets. The breathable, water resistant, and durable rip stop fabrics used to make horse blankets and other types of horse clothing will keep your horse cleaner, warmer, and healthier throughout the winter.
Turnout Blankets Offer Tough Protection
Turnout blankets provide the ultimate in winter protection for horses that spends most or all of their time outside. Winter turnout blankets feature fleece linings that provide horses with comfort and warmth on even the snowiest days. Many turnout blankets are waterproof, making them highly useful in areas that get a lot of cold, chilling rain. If your region is especially cold or wet, you can invest in a horse blanket that features an integrated neck. This article of horse clothing will help to keep your horse warmer with the extra coverage. It also keeps your horse dry by preventing rain from getting under your regular horse blanket.
For state of the art protection, there is nothing better than the Tuffrider 600D Stretch Manager Thermolined Turnout Blanket. Made from waterproof, breathable stretch fabric, this blanket is made from 94% rip stop polyester and 6% Lycra, allowing your horse the freedom of movement unavailable from any other horse blanket. Well insulated and nicely fitting, this horse blanket is unparalleled with its quick-snap double front closure and stretch webbing. Your horse is sure to be warm, dry, and comfortable in this particular horse blanket, regardless of the weather.
If your region is especially wet, you may want to consider the durable rip stop polyester fabric used to create the Tuffrider 600D Turnout Blanket. This horse blanket is both waterproof and breathable for those wet, rainy days in the pasture. It also provides warmth and protection from the cold with its polyfill insulating layer. The fabric wicks away moisture, keeping your horse at an optimal temperature on even the coldest rainy days. This horse blanket also offers protection from hunters with its bright orange color.
If you prefer something lighter, the Tuffrider 600D Plaid Medium Weight Turnout blanket is an excellent choice for providing moderate warmth while remaining waterproof and breathable. The polyfill is somewhat lighter, keeping your horse from sweating in the cold and risking a chill. The nylon shoulder lining prevents chafing and the high gusset of this blanket offers your horse the freedom of movement they need. The removable leg straps are an added convenience.
If your weather varies, the new Tuffrider Closed Front Nylon Blanket Liner is a great way to supplement your existing horse blanket with a convenient insulating layer. You can use it on colder days and remove it as the weather warms. This horse blanket liner features low cross surcingles, double front closures, stainless steel hardware, and a removable tail flap.
Enjoy Moderate Protection from Turnout Sheets
Turnout sheets provide lightweight warmth and stretchable comfort for your horse on chilly mornings or after being clipped for the next show. For the latest in turnout sheets, look at the innovative Tuffrider 1200D Stretch Manager Plus Turnout Sheet. This article of horse clothing features rip stop, 4-way stretch fabric that provides the ultimate in lightweight comfort. This breathable fabric is then laminated, making it both breathable and waterproof, ensuring the comfort and protection of your horse's winter health. This elegant article of horse clothing uses strategically placed panels to attain an aesthetically pleasing fit without the use of shoulder gussets.
Another useful turnout sheet is the 600D Plaid Fleece Lined Turnout Sheet. This fleece-lined turnout sheet is waterproof and breathable, providing nearly weightless comfort and protection. The taped seams keep out moisture and the nylon lining at the shoulders and across the bottom help to keep your horse comfortable, clean and dry on even the muddiest days. Removable leg straps offer an extra measure of convenience.
Stabilize Body Temperature with Dress Sheets
While severe weather won't require the use of a dress sheet, this article of horse clothing works much like a windbreaker. Dress sheets can help to stabilize your horse's body temperature after a strenuous workout if the weather is moderately chilly. The Classic Fleece Dress Sheet offers the added benefit of wicking away moisture, preventing aching joints.
Choosing the right horse clothing and horse blankets depends largely upon where you live and the type of weather your horse normally faces. If your horse spends most of their time outside, they will require better protection from the elements. Providing your horse with the comfort and protection of horse blankets and horse clothing is yet another way that you can ensure their good health, their comfort and your own peace of mind.
