Horse blankets also help protect your horse from harsh weather conditions, regulate his body temperature, and prevent certain skin problems caused by wet fur.
When buying the best blanket for your horse, remember that “filling” refers to the weight of the blanket – the more filling, the heavier the blanket will be, so a blanket with more filling is best for horses in cold environments.
