Fitting Your mini horse blankets:

The fit of your blanket is extremely important to the comfort of your horse. An improperly fitted blanket can cause rubbing and slippage.

Measuring Instructions:

1. Stand your horse as square as possible.
2. Measure from the center of the chest around the side of the body to the point of the horse’s rump just before the tail.
3. If your horse ends up measuring between sizes, always round up to the next size to ensure full coverage.

Washing Instructions:

1. Remove excess dirt from the outside of the blanket with a brush and hose.
2. Wash by hand or on a delicate cycle with cool water in a commercial washer using very mild soap.
3. Allow the blanket to drip dry thoroughly before storage.
4. Do not put the blanket in the dryer or wash with hot water.
5. Do not store the blanket if damp or wet as this will damage the waterproof coating and void any warranties.

Tips for Horses Turned Outside Without Shelter:

Tough1 turnout sheet and blanket materials are waterproof and designed to keep your horse dry. However, if your horse is turned out in a field without shelter during prolonged rain or heavy downpours, your horse may still get wet, especially in the neck and tail areas. It is crucial to monitor the fluctuating climate and temperatures when using a blanket, even if it is waterproof and breathable. The wicking properties of a breathable blanket are designed to wick away normal body heat, but when a blanket is too heavy, the heat and moisture cannot be wicked away fast enough, causing your horse to sweat. The temperature and the length of your horse’s coat will determine what weight of blanket you should use.
