Key benefits

The drop on these blankets are longer than a stable blanket to allow a slight wrap around the barrel. Darts at the hip form a contoured fit around the rump. V-Free® Blankets begin where the mane ends, leaving the mane uncovered.

This blanket is everything I look for!

"For years I've been struggling to find a blanket that doesn't give pressure points and fits comfortable for the horse, so happy I've finally found it!"

Dagmar (5/5)

So comfy for the horse

"If you're looking for a comfy and sturdy blanket look no further. This blanket fits so nice to my small but bulky Gypsy horse. It has been a struggle to find a blanket that actually fits her well and doesn't give her pressure points. Very happy with my purchase and would for sure buy again!"

Dagmar (5/5)

Would and did

"Nice blanket great quality"

Donna (5/5)

Don't hesitate! Buy one!

"I purchased this a little bigger for my yearling in hopes that it will still fit him next year. I can feel the quality in the fabric! A nice heavy blanket! Even with it being a little bigger the adjustable straps really help customize how it fits him. The adjustable shoulder straps allowed me to pull it snug around his neck. I purchased the neck wrap as well- that is the easiest thing to attach! But -The belly band is probably my favorite feature! I'm obsessed with how well it wraps around him. I want one of these for every horse I own. Remember when you're reviewing my image- I purposely bought this bigger. Blankets are an investment. I'm VERY happy with the one I chose!"
