Equine Blanket Guide — Which Type Does Your Horse Need?
Equine Blankets for Every Season and Condition
Horse blankets, horse rugs, equine blankets — different names for the same job: managing your horse’s temperature and keeping weather off their back. Which you need comes down to two questions: is the horse outside, and how cold is it?
| Type | Waterproof? | Insulated? | Use It When |

| Winter Turnout Blanket | Yes — 600D to 1200D ripstop | Yes — 100g to 400g fill | Horse turned out in genuine cold, wet or wind |
| Turnout Sheet | Yes | No fill | Cool but wet — spring, autumn, or as a layer |
| Stable Blanket | No — quilted shell | Yes | Horse stabled indoors, dry environment |
| Fly Sheet | No — open mesh | No | Warm weather — insect and UV protection |

What to Look For in an Equine Blanket
Waterproof & Breathable
A turnout blanket must shed rain while letting body vapour escape. One that soaks through chills a horse faster than no blanket at all.
Denier Rating
600D suits calm paddock-kept horses, 1200D ripstop is the everyday standard, 1680D for horses hard on their gear.
Fill Weight
0g for rain only, 100–150g for cool weather, 200–250g for real winter, 300–400g for clipped horses in deep cold.
Secure Adjustable Fit
Cross surcingles, belly wraps and adjustable chest closures keep the blanket centred while the horse moves and rolls.
Correct Size
Measure chest centre to tail centre in inches. Sizes run 66" to 84" so ponies through warmbloods are covered.
Insect & UV Defence
For summer, fine-mesh fly sheets block biting insects and reduce coat bleaching without adding warmth.

Equine Blanket Questions Answered
What is an equine blanket?
An equine blanket — also called a horse blanket or horse rug — is a fitted cover worn over a horse’s back and barrel to manage temperature and protect against weather. The main categories are waterproof turnout blankets for outdoors, turnout sheets for rain without warmth, quilted stable blankets for indoors, and mesh fly sheets for insects and sun.
How many blankets does one horse actually need?
Most owners in a four-season climate keep three: a waterproof turnout sheet for wet mild weather, a medium-weight turnout blanket for ordinary winter, and a heavyweight or liner for the coldest stretches. Add a fly sheet for summer. Clipped horses and seniors generally need one tier warmer.
What size equine blanket do I need?
Stand the horse squarely and measure from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the centre of the tail. That figure in inches is the blanket size — 72 inches means a size 72. Between sizes, go up. Our range runs 66" to 84".
Can a stable blanket be used for turnout?
No. Stable blankets are quilted and not waterproof — in rain or wet snow they soak through and pull heat away from the horse. For any outdoor use choose a waterproof turnout blanket or turnout sheet.
How do I keep an equine blanket waterproof?
Waterproofing wears down with use and washing. Brush off dirt and hair regularly, wash with a residue-free cleaner rather than detergent, air dry fully, and reapply a proofing treatment each season. Check seams and hardware at the same time.
What is the difference between a horse blanket and a horse sheet?
A blanket carries insulating fill; a sheet does not. A turnout sheet is waterproof but uninsulated, for rain and wind in mild weather. A fly sheet is neither waterproof nor insulated — open mesh for insect and UV protection in summer.
