Waterproof Blanket
What temperatures should I use a light/medium/heavy blanket on my horse?
I have an 11 year old TB mare who grows just a little bit of a winter coat. We live in New England. The barn she is kept at requested a chart for which blanket I would like on her at what temperature. I have a Waterproof Sheet, and medium and a heavy weight turnout. She is on turnout 24/7 with a sturdy run-in shed.
Also, I may be moving her to an indoor and doing a full body clip, but then she would be stalled at night. How does that effect what others do for blankets?
I found this table at Schnieder's Saddlery-- http://www.sstack.com/content/txt/warmth.htm
It's always better for the horse to be a tad cold than a tad warm, because if they are too warm they will get sick. I also live in New England, and I know how cold the winters can get, but just remember that horses are hardier than people, and can survive without a blanket in most weather. I would recommend that if it gets over 45 (even with a clipped coat), don't put anything on except a Rain Sheet when it's raining (not drizzling...) You don't want your horse to suffocating under those blankets.
