Clothing Horses

Winter is on its way and our horses can get sick or even injured if they are allowed to get overly wet and chilled. While horses have evolved to handle certain amounts of cold weather, we have altered their ability to fight the cold by keeping them indoors and by clipping them. As a result, our beloved horses will need a little extra protection from the elements to avoid getting chilled and experiencing joint stiffness. This is especially true after a good workout. As athletes, horses work up a sweat while they exercise as a means of stabilizing their body temperature. This stabilization is important, but getting sweaty on a cold day can lead to illness.

The horse clothing and horse blankets available on the market today provide the perfect solution to this dilemma. Just as riders must wear layers and protective clothing in the colder months, horses also need protection from the elements to remain fit and healthy. You can protect your horse from chilly winter weather using turnout blankets, turnout sheets, and dress sheets. The breathable, water resistant, and durable rip stop fabrics used to make horse blankets and other types of horse clothing will keep your horse cleaner, warmer, and healthier throughout the winter.
