Its primary benefit is providing excellent insulation with a 400g equivalent padding, suitable for stable, under, or transport use on cold days.

FAQs

What is the warmth equivalent of this blanket?

The blanket provides a warmth equivalent to 400g padding.

Can this blanket be used in the rain?

This blanket is designed for warmth and breathability, not waterproofing. It is best suited for stable use or transport, not as an outer layer in wet conditions.

How do I clean the faux fur material?

It can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Air dry only.

Is the faux fur material prone to collecting bedding?

No, the shorter fibers of the faux fur are designed to minimize the adherence of shavings and bedding.

Can I use this blanket as an underblanket?

Yes, it is suitable for use as an underblanket to add extra warmth to a horse's existing rug setup.

Are the straps adjustable or removable?

The blanket features removable straps, allowing for customization based on use.

Is this blanket suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

Yes, the ultra-soft faux fur is designed to be gentle and prevent chafing, making it suitable for sensitive horses.

Troubleshooting

Blanket seems too warm for the horse.

Consider using the blanket only during colder periods or as an underblanket. Ensure the horse has adequate ventilation.

Faux fur is matted or flattened.

Gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush after washing and drying. Avoid harsh brushing, which can damage the fibers.

Straps are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the strap buckles are clean and free of debris. Refer to the product's visual design for proper strap routing if unsure.
