As we roll deeper into fall and closer to the more bitter temperatures of winter in North Central Florida, we understand the importance of blanketing your horse.
Factors such as age, weight, clipped coats, and even existing illnesses or injuries can influence how much protection your horse needs.
When selecting a blanket, it’s essential to choose one that is lightweight yet breathable, waterproof, insulated, and resistant to tears, stains, and dirt. However, we must also be mindful of the risks associated with improper blanketing. Overblanketing can lead to overheating—a situation that can be detrimental to your horse’s well-being. Additionally, a poorly fitting blanket may rub against their skin or hinder natural hair growth.
By taking these considerations into account and choosing the right blanket for each individual horse at our ranch, we strive to provide them with the comfort they deserve during those chilly months. When you board your horse with us, you can rest assured knowing we do everything we can to keep your horse happy and healthy. Proper blanketing is no exception and is included in our full and partial boarding services.
