Blanket
Fitting
Your Horse's Blanket:
An
improperly fitted blanket can cause rubbing and slippage, so ensuring the best
fit is essential to your horse’s comfort.
Measuring
Instructions:
Stand
your horse as square as possible on a level surface. Measure from the center of
chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the horse's rump, just
before the tail. If your horse ends up measuring between sizes, it’s usually
best to round up to make sure they have complete coverage.
Washing
Instructions:
To
maximize your blanket’s lifespan, and to ensure comfort for your horse, we
recommend you clean it at least annually. First, remove excess dirt from the
outside of the blanket with a stiff brush and hose, if necessary. The blanket
can then be washed either by hand, or on a delicate cycle with cool water in a
commercial washer, using mild soap that is appropriate for
waterproof/breathable performance fabrics. Do not use hot water, or regular
detergent, as it can destroy the waterproofness and void any warranties. When
the blanket has been washed, allow to drip dry – do not put it in the dryer.
Make sure it is completely dry before packing it away, and don’t store it if it
is damp or wet.
Horses
Turned Out:
Gatsby®
Turnout Sheet and Blanket materials are waterproof and designed to keep your
horse dry. However, if your horse is turned out during prolonged rain or heavy
downpours, your horse may still get wet, especially around the neck and
tail.
Choosing
Warmth Level:
When
using a blanket or sheet, it is critical to monitor the fluctuating climate and
temperatures, even with one that is waterproof and breathable. Breathable
fabrics are designed to wick away normal body heat, but when a blanket is too
heavy, the resulting heat and moisture cannot be wicked away fast enough, which
will make your horse sweat. Temperature, length of coat, and horse metabolism
determines what weight of blanket should be used – therefore, most people who
blanket have several articles of horse clothing that offer varying levels of
warmth.
