How to Pick the Right WeatherBeeta Horse Blanket
We've all been there: standing in front of racks of winter horse blankets in a sea of colors and styles wondering which winter turnout is going to meet your horse's needs as well as yours.
WeatherBeeta has taken the pain out of blanket shopping by suggesting turnouts based on your horse's personality.
Our entire selection of WeatherBeeta blankets is online here.
The Blanket Friendly Horse
This horse can use the same blanket for two or three winters in a row because this horse is a lady or gentleman. Maybe older, or maybe with a slow and quiet demeanor. This is not the horse you see at the rodeo tied to trailer trying to dig a path the freedom through solid steel, no, this horse is blanket friendly and kind and can get along just fine in the WeatherBeeta Standard turnout Blanket.
The Blanket Houdini Horse
This horse is a little hotter than first. More prone to rubbing anything that seems convenient or in a close proximity: people, the gate post, and even other horses. This horse needs to be comfortable or you run the risk of having a shredded blanket hung up in the railings.
You can order this blanket from us online.
For this horse North 40 Outfitters recommends the WeatherBeeta Genero Blanket: the ultimate blanket for comfort and freedom of movement. This blanket will be like a second skin that your horse won't try to rub off.
The Blanket Wrecker Horse
This horse is the hottest of the three. Probably cribbing and pawing and rolling under gates just because that is what needs to be done. This horse will twist out of halters and bridles; this horse will have shredded probably two blankets already on this, the third day, of winter.
