My poor boy just doesn’t grow a winter coat on his hind end, so I needed to buy some blankets that would last and keep him warm in our frigid temperatures in northern Michigan. These blankets are the BEST! They hold up for years of use! I have several in different weights for the season changes. And the belly band option is a nice touch for overall comfort for my horse.

There is nothing that beats the quality & value & warranty of a Schneider blanket! My horse has 3 Schneider blankets! And I just ordered another one today! The StormShield Classic II Attached Neck 220 grams of fill has been absolutely wonderful this cold Ohio winter. I even leave it on for the coldest of nights—I sleep much better knowing he’s as snug as a bug in his Schneider rug!!!

★★★★★
I needed a warm blanket for my horse with Cushings as he had several winter laminitis episodes. The blanket I bought is perfect as it is nice and long, covers his belly and fully covers his chest. Also, I called customer service as it was slipping off to the side and the very kind and helpful person gave me good ideas on how to make it fit better so it doesn’t slip. Great service over all!!!! Thank you!

Reviews

81” Storm Shield

"Love this blanket! My guy is a 16hh OTTB who normally wears a 78” but has been gaining muscle. I sized up to an 81” and it fits great! Fantastic quality and warmth. Kept him warm last winter in -20° temps in Minnesota. The attached hood is my favorite as it offer great coverage from the cold. I did not order a belly band with mine and he still stayed plenty warm!"

— Mariah (5/5)

The first blanket shipped to

"The first blanket shipped to me the bellystrap ripped off after one night of use. Schneider warrantied the item without a problem and I had the second blanket shipped out to me within 10 days. After that I absolutely loved this blanket for my 31 year old quarter horse gelding. He was dry and warm even when outside and Maine had an exceptionally cold winter. I have since lost that gelding and it has moved on to our 23 year old saddlebred. So this blanket can fit a diverse group. Would definitely buy this again."

— Tammy (5/5)

Does the job well.

"The first one I received did not hold up at all. The waterproofing failed almost immediately. Schneiders replaced it right away and this one seems to be holding up just fine. We do not generally get very warm, so this is a good weight for most of the time. Fit is pretty good although it's tough to keep up with my horse's body changes. I still like my Amigos and Rambos but if you need a good solid blanket for a less than astronomical price, this is a good choice. And it comes in pink, which is a HUGE bonus! I always know where she is in the field."

— LYNN (4/5)

Perfect for the Need

"My new StormShield sheet is exactly what I hoped it would be. It fits my horse perfectly (size 80). It is strong enough for my older horse who still has some spunk. Michigan late fall has such changeable weather. We don't yet need any insulation, but we often get a cold, windy rain. This protects him from that without making him too hot. The green color looks marvelous on his golden chestnut coat."

— MELISSA P. (5/5)

High Quality Blanket!

"I love this blanket. I can feel the quality just by touching it. It’s nice and thick with some heft. It hasn’t been cold enough to use the medium weight yet, and I’ll only be using it when it gets to extreme temps. My horse is unclipped and sweats very easily so for the most part I’ll be using his lightweight, but I’m positive this will keep him warm when it gets in the teens or even negative temperatures, plus I can easily layer it with the lightweight if I need to. It fits well and is easy to adjust- he has a high neck carriage and it’s perfect for him. He also looks very handsome in it which is nice because he’s very vain! I cannot find a single fault. I don’t have a picture of him wearing it but this photo is for reference to his body type. He’s 15 hh and lean. He’s still growing and this blanket will give him room when he fills out more."

— Jodee W. (5/5)

Best turnout sheet we have

"The stormshield turnout sheet is simply the best sheet we have in our barn. We use it on our young thoroughbred gelding and despite his best efforts, the sheet stays in place and keeps him nice and dry and warm in the cool fall weather here in the mountains of Colorado. The original color is an ordered was backordered and Schneiders was absolutely perfect to work with on finding a replacement color. Cannot recommend both the blanket and Schneiders more highly."

— Matt H. (5/5)

StormShield Blankets

"I LOVE IT! Great quality, great fit, great price. I bought the sheet after I bought the mid weight, because I knew exactly what I was buying. I highly recommend, and would buy both blankets again."

— Kim (5/5)

Posy loves her sheet

"Absolutely love this sheet. Fits my 11h welsh pony. She wears it alone as well as wearing it on top of winter blanket. Keeps her nice and dry"

— Allie (5/5)

This is the 1st time

"This is the 1st time I have been disappointed in a blanket I have gotten from SS Tack. The 1st time I turned my horse out in some rain, he came in with large wet spots on both his wither and dock of his tail. It is like the water is leaking through the seam where the neck is sewn on and where the tail flap is sewn on. Of course, it has been worn now so I can't return it. Can't recommend this blanket if you want to keep your horse dry."

— Tracy B. (2/5)

Classic HighNeck sheet, A++

"Great blanket. Has held up for multiple seasons and is still keeping my horses dry. Hard playing Warmbloods and TBs, still no rips or tears. Am. Uying the same blanket again this season for a new arrival."

— Caitlin (5/5)
