That Rip in Your $300 Blanket Doesn't Have to Be a $300 Problem
Horses tear blankets. It's a fact of horse ownership — fence hardware, other horses, sharp corners, and pure equine stubbornness all take their toll. The question is whether you can fix it before the rip becomes a write-off.
Schneiders® Horse Blanket Repair Tape is pressure-sensitive, waterproof ripstop nylon that bonds to both outer covers and linings — no sewing, no waiting, no dry cleaning. Press it on and ride on.
A Small Tear Becomes a Total Loss Without a Quick Fix
A two-inch rip in a turnout blanket is a minor annoyance on Monday. Left unrepaired through a week of rain and movement, that same rip is six inches by Friday, the lining is exposed, the delamination has started, and a $250 blanket is now a $250 problem. Horses in hard turnout don't give rips time to stay small — and most barn repair options require shipping the blanket somewhere, which takes weeks you don't have in mid-winter.
Unrepaired Blanket Damage Costs Owners Hundreds Every Season
Professional blanket repair typically runs $30-$80 per repair depending on size and material, plus shipping time. Replacement blankets in mid-season often go out of stock in your size. Leaving a horse blanketed with a significant tear allows moisture in, compromises waterproofing, and can catch on fence hardware in ways that escalate from rip to injury. A $6 roll of repair tape at the right moment is cheaper than any of those outcomes.
- ✗Unrepaired tears expand rapidly during turnout movement and fence contact
- ✗Professional repair services take weeks — too slow for mid-winter emergencies
- ✗Replacement blankets mid-season are often out of stock in the right size
- ✗Exposed lining and delamination from an unrepaired rip ruin an otherwise good blanket
Waterproof Ripstop Nylon Tape That Seals Rips in Seconds
Schneiders® Horse Blanket Repair Tape is self-sticking, pressure-sensitive waterproof ripstop nylon — the same material your blanket is made from. Press it onto the outer cover or lining, iron warm for maximum adhesion, and the repair holds through rain, mud, turnout wear, and washing. It's the repair your horse's blanket needs without the shipping wait, the sewing machine, or the repair bill.

What Riders Are Saying
"
My mare got a good rip in her medium-weight during a cold snap — of course. I slapped this tape on in the barn aisle, ironed it down that evening, and it's held through three months of turnout including two more cold snaps. The rip is essentially invisible now and the tape hasn't peeled at any edge.
""
I keep two rolls in the tack trunk at shows. Horse blankets are expensive and tears happen in the worst places at the worst times. This tape has saved at least four blankets from the trash bin in two show seasons. It's the cheapest insurance I've got.
""
I run a boarding facility with 22 horses in turnout. Blanket damage is just a reality of the job. This tape keeps our owners from having to replace blankets mid-winter when the damage is minor. We go through a roll every couple of months and at $5.99 it's a complete non-issue.
