Choosing the Best Horse Blanket or Sheet
Whether it's the dead of winter or the fluctuating weather of the spring and fall, your horse likely needs some type of protection from the elements. At Schneiders, we have all of the essential horse blankets and sheets, as well as other horse clothing to help keep your horse or pony warm, dry and comfortable, whether in the stable or in turnout.
There are different types of blankets and sheets depending on the weather conditions and if your horse will be outside or in a stable. If you live in a cold climate, Schneiders carries Waterproof Turnout Blankets and Turnout Sheets that will keep the snow and icy rain off of your horse's coat, all while also keeping him insulated from the cold air. Our Armorflex® , Stormshield® , and Dura-Tech® horse blankets come in styles like VTEK® Wither Relief for high-withered Thoroughbreds, V-Free® Wither Relief for horses with sloped shoulders and even blankets for foals, miniature, and draft horses to keep them safe and healthy during winter weather. Schneiders turnout blankets have a waterproof breathability that is far superior to any other type of blanket on the market. This waterproof material is at least three times the minimum waterproof level of other blankets, and it's designed to last up to 10 years, depending on the type of material you choose.
Stable Blankets and Stable Sheets will protect your horse's coat in all seasons, keeping it healthy, clean and shiny. Whether your horse is as small as a miniature horse or as large as a draft horse, Schneiders has your horse covered (literally!) with sturdy, high-quality blankets and sheets designed to keep any horse warm and dry.
Our Cooler and Horse Show Covers offer great moisture-wicking abilities to help to absorb sweat after a training session or when your horse exits the show ring. They also offer maximum coverage and a lightweight feel so that they can be used all year round. Horse Sleazy Slickers are essential for anyone who wants to keep their horse looking neat and tidy before a show. We have an UltraFlex® sleazy for every season so your horse will stay slick and shiny all year long.
Keeping your horse blankets clean and organized when they're not in use is essential. We carry a wide variety of Horse Blanket Racks, Blanket Bags, and Horse Blanket Accessories to keep you blankets in prime condition. Whether you need blanket wash, a blanket bag, blanket rack, or name tag for your blanket we have what you need.
In order to effectively keep your horse warm and dry in winter, horse blankets and sheets must be fitted based on factors like: your horse's shoulder slope, chest width, wither height and type (ex: Thoroughbred, Draft, Miniature, etc.).
