Why choosing the right blanket is SO important!
arrow_backTo the overview24 January 2024 | BOT-SHOP
Let's be honest; the blanket market is a jungle! There are thousands of opinions and viewpoints on blankets and blanket brands, and often, one ends up with a blanket that might not fit the horse perfectly.
However, there's a reason to delve deeper into the market and explore the possibilities. A poorly fitting blanket can press and squeeze the horse's shoulder, restricting its movements and opportunities to unfold. This can result in the horse tensing its muscles around the neck and shoulder when wearing the blanket.
Considering the hours a horse spends wearing its blanket continuously, it's understandable if these tensions become more permanent and actually create challenges when the horse later needs to perform in the riding arena.
That's precisely why it's crucial to find a blanket that doesn't bother the horse.
When checking your horse's current blanket, you should look for these things:
Does the horse have rub marks from its blanket?
Is there space at the front of the blanket, allowing you to easily insert your hand, maybe your arm? If so, there's probably enough room for the horse's shoulder to move.
Does the blanket shift to the side when the horse walks with it?
Does the horse seem unhappy when putting on or taking off the blanket?
