Product Information

Full details

The Waldhausen Comfort Light Stable Blanket is designed for horse owners seeking a versatile, lightweight layer suitable for transitional weather or transport. Crafted from breathable cotton, it excels at keeping horses comfortable during cool evenings in the stable or while traveling; however, as it is a lightweight blanket, it does not provide heavy thermal insulation for freezing winter temperatures.

FAQs

Is this blanket waterproof?

No, this is a stable blanket made of cotton and is not designed for turnout in wet or rainy conditions.

Can I use this for outdoor turnout?

This blanket is designed for indoor stable use or transport; it lacks the water-repellent shell required for outdoor environments.

How do I determine the right size for my horse?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to find the corresponding size in centimeters.

What is the primary benefit of the gussets?

The gussets provide extra fabric in the shoulder area, allowing the horse to walk and reach forward without the fabric pulling tightly across the chest.

How should I store the blanket in the off-season?

Ensure the blanket is clean and completely dry before folding it and storing it in a breathable bag in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Blanket sliding backward

Ensure the chest fasteners are secure and check that the leg cords are properly adjusted to keep the blanket centered.

Rubbing at the withers

Verify that the blanket is the correct size and that the withers padding is sitting directly over the highest point of the withers.

Surcingles hanging too low

Adjust the cross surcingles to ensure they are snug against the horse, allowing only enough room for comfortable movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable for mild weather
  • Shoulder gussets provide excellent mobility
  • Soft padding protects the withers from rubbing
  • Adjustable surcingles ensure a secure fit
  • Versatile use for stable or travel

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme cold
  • Cotton material is not waterproof
  • Requires regular washing to maintain hygiene

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, start by centering the blanket over the horse's back and securing the chest fasteners first. Ensure the Velcro is aligned flat to avoid irritation. Adjust the cross surcingles so there is approximately a hand's width of space between the strap and the horse's belly. For care, machine wash the cotton blanket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the fabric breathability. Always air dry the blanket away from direct heat sources to prevent material shrinkage.
