    What riders say about turnout blankets

    Riders write about shoulder fit and how a turnout holds up through a wet winter.

    Turnout blankets

    This is a great blanket with the neck portion attached. It runs a bit big, so I went down a size. It fits well, doesn't rub on the shoulders, and sits straight on the body. Great in warm weather, although once it gets over 100 degrees, I leave them without a blanket unless they have access to plenty of shade. The neck piece does not rub my horse’s mane out either. The buckles and hardware are strong, and the blanket material is breathable and well made. I would definitely recommend.

    Shires turnout blankets

    Absolutely fantastic rug as always.  I have four Shires rugs,  three have been through three winters,  without being washed or reproofed.  And still have held up to this crazy wet winter.  I bought a new one as they where starting to smell 🤣Will be buying more for spring and summer. Thank. You.

    Horze turnout blankets

    The built in fleece liner solves the warmth problem for my senior TB mare for days where it’s just a bit too cold for a rain sheet, but too warm for her medium weight. She stayed in great condition all winter and I truly think this helped! The front U cut fit plus high, forward gusset work great on her very wide chest. Every other blanket has rubbed at the point of shoulder. Only downside is that it can get off center, I assumed due to the fleece getting caught, but I might need to play with the strap adjustments. Her coat stays sleek, beautiful, and less dusty under the fleece. Was worried about bedding getting caught in fleece but there have been no issues. Stayed waterproof in the wet and muddy PNW winter!

    Turnout blankets

    Love this blanket! My mare is rough in turn out and this blanket keeps up with her! It doesn’t restrict her shenanigans at all. she doesn’t get sweaty while wearing it as she plays either which is nice. She’s a sensitive thin skinned TB and it’s so adjustable she hasn’t even had any rubs! I loved it so much I have ordered three others for my other three horses.

    The Turnout Edit

    Four choices that point you to the right turnout

    Weight, sheet or blanket, brand and cut, then size: each section below settles one choice and ends on a shelf. Once the weight is set, the weight pages go deeper.

    Which weight

    What weight turnout blanket does my horse need?

    The Amigo Ripstop 900 Plus 200g is a sound starting weight, because 200g of fill is what makers class as medium for a horse that lives out through a cold, wet winter. Step up to 300g or more, such as the Horze Glasgow Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket 300g, for a clipped horse or a hard freeze. Look elsewhere if he runs warm or the nights stay mild: the lightweight turnout blankets and turnout sheets carry 100g or less.

    Makers use the same three words differently, so read the grams, not the label: 100g and under is lightweight, 150 to 250g is medium and 300g and up is heavy. Each weight has its own page, with every style in that range: mediumweight turnout blankets, heavyweight turnout blankets and lightweight turnout blankets. Your lowest overnight temperature and whether he is clipped matter more than the brand on the tag.

    What do blanket grams mean? Light, medium, heavy by guide
    GuideLightMediumHeavy

    Equinavia0 to 100 grams, clipped, above 50 degrees F150 to 250 grams from 30 to 40 degrees F; up to 300 grams from 20 to 30300 to 400 grams from 10 to 20 degrees F; plus liners below 10

    Heavyweight turnouts, 300g and up

    Cold-weather turnouts for horses that live out or are clipped.

      Sheet or blanket

      Turnout sheet or blanket: which does my horse need?

      A turnout sheet suits a horse that stays warm on his own, while a blanket suits one that needs fill, and the Weatherbeeta Comfitec Plus Dynamic Turnout Detach-A-Neck 0g covers both with a neck that clips on and off. One sheet then works for a cold morning and a mild afternoon. Look elsewhere if he needs warmth every night: a sheet carries no fill.

      Pick a sheet in the 0g class for spring and fall rain, then add a liner or move to a 100g blanket as nights drop. A fixed neck keeps his shoulder and throat covered all day, and a detachable one gives you the choice. See all turnout sheets on their own page, and neck covers sold separately to pair with most turnouts.

        Brand and cut

        Which turnout blanket brand fits my horse best?

        Rhino Plus Medium VariLayer Turnout is the one to look at for a horse that needs a roomy cut and a liner system, and Amigo gives the widest run of weights. Rambo and Rhino sit in Horseware's premium and middle tiers, so one maker covers a top-end turnout and a more modest one.

        Cut decides comfort more than fill: a deep front and gusseted shoulder suit a wide-chested horse, a closer cut a narrow one. Find the brand that fits him, then pick the weight.

          Sizing

          How do I size a turnout blanket for my horse?

          Size a turnout from the chest to the point of the buttock, then match the number to the maker's own chart: a Rambo 1680D Turnout 0g and a Weatherbeeta in the same size can fit differently. If he falls between sizes, riders tell us to go with the brand's note on that line.

          Once you have the size, use the Find Your Fit dropdown above to see that size in each brand. The horse blanket sizing guide walks through the measuring step by step.

            Questions riders ask

            Turnout blanket FAQ

            What weight turnout blanket does my horse need?

            Makers call 100g and under lightweight, 150 to 250g medium and 300g and up heavy. Your overnight lows, whether he is clipped and how much shelter he has decide where he lands, so start with the weight page for your range and compare styles there.

            What is the difference between a turnout sheet and a turnout blanket?

            A turnout sheet has no fill and blocks rain and wind, while a turnout blanket adds fill, from 50g up to 400g, for warmth. Many riders own a sheet for shoulder seasons and a blanket for winter, so browse the sheets page and the weight pages side by side.

            How do I measure my horse for a turnout blanket?

            Measure from the center of his chest along his side to the point of his buttock, then compare the number with the maker's size chart. If he falls between sizes, read the brand's own note for that line, then use the Find Your Fit dropdown to shop his size.

            How do I wash and store a turnout blanket?

            Follow the care label on your blanket and the maker's advice on reproofing. Dry it fully before you fold it for storage, and check the maker's care terms for your line before you wash it.
