One Broken Strap Shouldn't Turn a $300 Blanket Into a $300 Problem
A snapped clip or stretched-out elastic strap renders an otherwise-perfect blanket useless in the middle of winter — when you need it most and ordering a replacement takes days. Most riders have thrown away perfectly good blankets because the right hardware was impossible to find.
The Schneiders® Replacement Straps and Clips Kit gives you everything you need: three elastic straps plus four carabiner clips, all sized for blanket hood and neck cover hardware, at under $15.
Blanket Hardware Fails in Winter — When Finding Replacement Parts Is Hardest
Elastic straps stretch and snap from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Carabiner clips corrode or lose spring tension and fail to hold under a horse's movement. These aren't defects — they're normal wear over a season of heavy use. But when a strap fails on a Monday night in January and your horse goes out into a storm with his neck cover hanging loose, the timing is never convenient.
Without the Right Hardware on Hand, a $15 Part Puts a $200 Blanket Out of Service
Manufacturer replacement parts are often only available through specialty channels and ship in one to two weeks. Generic hardware from a hardware store typically doesn't match the elastic gauge, strap width, or clip size needed for equine blanket attachment. Improvised fixes with zip ties or baling twine put uneven stress on the blanket and often fail again within days, especially in wet and cold conditions.
- ✗Elastic straps lose tension and snap mid-season from freeze-thaw cycling
- ✗Carabiner clips corrode and lose spring force, failing to hold under horse movement
- ✗Manufacturer replacement parts take one to two weeks to ship — too long in winter
- ✗Generic hardware store clips don't match the width, gauge, or clip style needed for blanket attachment
Three Straps Plus Four Carabiner Clips — Everything a Blanket Hood Needs, Under $15
The Schneiders® Replacement Straps and Clips Kit includes one 12" adjustable center elastic strap, two shorter side elastic straps, and four carabiner clips — the complete hardware set for blanket hoods and neck covers. All components are sized and specified for equine blanket attachment, not generic industrial use. Keep a kit in your tack room and repair a failed strap in five minutes instead of sending a blanket out of service for two weeks.
Complete Repair Kit
3 elastic straps + 4 carabiner clips — the full hardware set for a blanket hood or neck cover.
Under $15 Repair Cost
Restore a blanket hood to full function for under $15 instead of replacing the entire cover.
Storeroom Insurance
Small enough to keep on the tack room shelf all winter so repairs happen immediately, not after a two-week wait.
Equine Blanket Spec Hardware
Straps and clips sized specifically for blanket attachment — not generic hardware that doesn't fit.
What Riders Are Saying
"
I have six horses in turnout and blanket hardware fails constantly over a full winter season. Before I found these kits I was either zip-tying hardware together or buying new blankets when they were otherwise fine. Now I keep two kits in my tack room and can fix a broken strap in five minutes. Under $15 to save a $200 blanket — there's no reason not to have them on hand.

My neck cover lost a clip in the first big storm of the season and I wasn't able to attach it securely for two weeks waiting for the manufacturer to ship parts. This kit arrived in two days and had the exact carabiner style I needed. Now I order a kit at the start of every fall as insurance. The straps stretch appropriately and the clips are solid — no difference from the originals.
""
I'm the kind of person who keeps equipment going as long as possible rather than replacing things unnecessarily. The replacement strap kit is exactly the right solution — I repaired my blanket hood in under ten minutes for $13 instead of spending $80 on a new one. The elastic tension on the straps is correct for the application. Highly recommend keeping these stocked.

Hardware Fails. Being Prepared Costs $15.
The Schneiders® Replacement Straps and Clips Kit is the kind of product experienced horse owners buy two of the first time they order — because once you've had to improvise a blanket repair in the dark in January, you understand the value of having the right parts immediately on hand. The elastic straps are sized and tensioned for blanket hood attachment: the 12" center strap provides the main adjustable closure, and the two shorter side straps handle the lateral attachment points. Four carabiner clips replace the clip hardware on neck covers and hoods. The whole kit fits in a tack room drawer and turns a two-week wait into a five-minute job.
- ✓One 12" adjustable center elastic strap for main closure
- ✓Two short elastic side straps for lateral attachment points
- ✓Four carabiner clips for neck cover and hood attachment
- ✓Hardware sized for equine blanket application, not generic industrial use
- ✓Full repair kit for blanket hoods and neck covers in one package
