When it comes to blanketing your horse, you will find many different opinions on if you should blanket your horse, when you should blanket your horse and even how to blanket your horse. It can be confusing for any horse owner—whether you're new to horse ownership or an old pro.

It’s time to start getting everything ready for the colder temperatures, and for most of the country, that means blankets are being pulled out of storage. Hopefully your blankets are coming out of storage clean, if not, you have a lot more preparation work on your hands… Whether you did an overall blanket “health” check in the spring, or you didn’t, it’s best to still perform a fall pre-season blanket check. Run through this quick checklist from Tough1 to see if your blanket is ready for winter. (Or, if you need to add one to your next shopping list.)

We know blankets and sheets are an expensive investment in the care of your horse. He can’t wear a blanket 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you need a place to properly store your blankets, whether it’s during the season or during the off-season.
