Rambo Quarter Horse Blankets
There are many things we have done to our horses to change the way they would live in the wild like keeping them in stalls, feeding them supplements and vaccinating them. These alterations to a horse's natural way of living have their advantages for you and your horse, much like blanketing does.
Perhaps the greatest advantage is for those horse owners who have show horses. Keeping a blanket on show horses that are kept under lights and are not allowed to grow a winter coat is an absolute necessity to protect him from the cold. Blanketing also keeps the horse clean and his coat looking good.
Another group of horse owners that benefit from blanketing are those who work their horses regularly. Blanketing keeps the horse's hair shorter than if you were not blanketing at all. This means that during those cold winter months, your horse will not get as sweaty and it will take less time to cool down after you work him. These horses can also be groomed less if they are blanketed which means more time in the saddle for you.
For those that let their horses live similarly to how they would in the wild, blanketing has its advantages for you as well. You can actually feed your horses that are turned out all the time less if you blanket them. A horse has to eat constantly to generate enough heat to keep him warm in those harsh, snowy winters. By blanketing your horse, you are helping keep his core body temperature warm and therefore he does not have to eat as much to keep himself warm.
The best and most versatile blanket to buy no matter if you show your horses or leave them out all the time is the Rambo Quarter Horse Waterproof Blanket. This blanket is fully waterproof which means you can turn your horse out in the rain or snow and he will remain dry no matter how long he is outside. The Waterproof blanket is also extremely breathable which makes it perfect for use in the barn as well. The removable neck cover also gives you great flexibilty. If you need full coverage when the weather gets really cold, then attach the neck cover. When it is warmer, or you bring your horse in the barn simply remove the neck cover and just use the blanket.
