Quality not as expected, 1/22/2010
Lori
from Green Bay, WI
I bought two of these last year. One for my Friesian cross and one for my TB. Both are turned out during the day only with different groups of 4 geldings.
I've only been using them for two months. The first week one of the clips on the leg strap broke off. The next week the entire belly strap came detached and had to be restitched. Both have had numerous rips and tears. Not what I expected.

Durable, great choice for a smaller horse, 12/12/2009
Caralyn
from Medford, MA
I bought this turnout last winter for each of my three horses (two thoroughbreds and a Morgan/Hannoverian cross), and all three blankets are still in GREAT shape! All three horses are outside 12-16 hours a day. The blankets all held up well as turnouts--and to my surprise, there was not a single tear in any of the outer material, although my Morgan/Hannoverian cross tore the lining of his. The blankets also held up well through MANY washings, and were easily re-waterproofed using Scotchguard. The two things I didn't like about this blanket were (1) the hardware on the leg straps--after a couple of weekd, the snaps would stick and became very difficult to attach/detach from the dees on the blanket; and (2) while this blanket fit my two 16-hand TBs well, the sides of the blanket ran too short to adequately cover my 15.3 hand (though considerably wider) Morgan/Warmblood cross. Overall, I'd highly recommend this blanket as a durable turnout suitable for daily use in cold and/or wet weather.

Horses warm and dry, 11/29/2009
Marcia
from Bayfield, CO
I ordered two blankets for my Thoroughbred gelding and Arabian mare. Both horses are getting "older" and are not easy keepers. Cold autumn rains have taken their toll in past years, but this year has been different, thanks to the Saxon blankets. I dress them in their blankets (a surprisingly easy task) prior to the arrival of wet weather, and their coats stay warm and dry underneath. The blankets also stay "put", in spite of the fact that 8 other horses share the corral.

Awesome blanket!, 10/23/2009
Lizzy
from PA
I bought two Saxon blankets, one for each of my horses. I've had both blankets for two or three years, and they are still in excellent condition! They are very durable and fit my horses well, and are 100% waterproof. They've kept my horses warm and dry all winter long, I love these blankets!

I am ordering my 4th Saxon 1200. Love it. Fits great in the shoulders especially and holds up in the toughest of conditions.

Great Fit! No rub blanket. The brand I like best, my horses have been wearing Saxxon blankets for three years now.

Good water protection, 10/16/2008
Pat
from Lakes Region, NH
I needed a weatherproof turnout blanket since I can't get home incase of inclement weather. This blanket will meet my expectations and keep the girls dry and warm. I did measure but the blanket size is a little small but not so much I would consider returning. If your horse is 16 hands or larger I would get a size bigger than the 81" which is the size I bought but overall I am extremely with the price and quality.
