I love this blanket. No rips or tears at the end of winter. Kept my horse warm. When washed almost every stain came out with no special washing. Super bright pink, it's very flashy.

Tough 1’s 600D Waterproof Horse Sheet is made of breathable fabrics to keep moisture away from your horse when it matters the most. This works by drawing moisture away from your horse’s skin. They are also less prone to sweat. While fighting the cold, body heat is conserved internally. With Tough 1’s double-sewn nylon binding, you can confidently send your horse out knowing they will be protected from the weather. It’s thick and hefty to survive frigid conditions and long periods of use.

This blanket is great with cold weather and rain my horse has stayed dry love it !!

Looking for lightweight turnout blankets? This Derby Originals winter blanket is ideal for you. The blanket is constructed of 600D, heavy-duty Nylon that has been woven for durability. The 250-gram polyfill and 210T nylon lining go above and beyond to provide your horse with medium warmth. Breathability is often an issue with other blankets due to tight straps or attachments. The nylon lining in this one, on the other hand, is excellent for breathability, durability, and keeping your horse dry.

I own a very picky mare! Having said that she loves this blanket I do too! It fits wonderful easy to put on and in the first snow storm not only kept her warm she actually enjoyed wearing it. Great product.

Another high-quality waterproof horse blanket is the “Turnout 1680D horse Winter Waterproof Horse Blanket 005”, which comes in six sizes. This waterproof horse blanket is made of breathable 1680 denier cotton and has a waterproof outer shell. This cover is fantastic since it is insulated with 300g of polyfill. There is no seam in the back of this, so you won’t have to worry about any leaking.

This blanket fits great. Especially around the neck. Most others I have tried fit too loose in the neck and end up too low on the chest. Mare seems comfortable and warm, dry when it rains. Going to buy another.

Contour Collar turnout blankets feature a seam-sealed contoured collar that fits snugger around the neck and provides more protection in wet, windy conditions. The super-tough nylon outer fabric of Nordlund protects against rips and withstands the demands of the most destructive horses that are prone to ripping blankets. You may rest easy knowing that Nordlund blankets are protected by a 10-year warranty! You can adjust the snugness to your liking and utilize the twin brass-plated snaps for simple on and off.

Has great fit very easy to put on Haven't had it on long enough yet to see how durable it is but seems like it is made of good quality and should hold up and last. I know I will be purchasing more in the future.

My horse in indoors and I will only use Schneider bellyband blankets on her. They are VERY well made and last for years. Truly worth the money!

Since it’s made of 420-denier material, this Weaver Nylon Sheet is lightweight and durable, making it ideal for use in moderate weather conditions.
