Ozark™ Lightweight Waterproof Blanket for Miniatures
and Ponies
If you are looking for an all-around blanket that fits
well and will keep your mini or pony warm in the milder climates, here is a
great choice. Great for layering, the waterproof 600 Denier outer shell
provides excellent coverage, with 80 grams of fiberfill for added warmth. A
front open lightweight blanket, it is constructed with a double hook-and-loop
closure in the front as well as one in the belly band. The closure system helps
ensure that the straps do not come undone and makes it very difficult for your
horse or another horse to get this blanket off! A fitted rump with removable
tailpiece and leg straps help provide a great fit.

Measuring Instructions:
Stand your horse as square as possible, and measure from the center of

tail. If your horse ends up measuring between sizes, always round up to the
next size to ensure full coverage.
Washing Instructions:
To keep your blanket as comfortable as possible for your horse and to
maximize the blanket's life, it is recommended that you clean your blanket
annually. First, remove excess dirt from the outside of the blanket with a
brush and hose. The blanket can then be washed either by hand, or on a delicate
cycle with cool water in a commercial washer. Use only very mild soap. When the
blanket has been washed, allow to drip dry and ensure that the blanket is
thoroughly dry before storage. Do not put your horse's blanket in the dryer or
wash with hot water. Do not store your horse's blanket if damp or wet. This
will damage the waterproof coating and void any warranties.
Horses Turned Outside Without Shelter:
Ozark by Kensington Turnout Sheet and Blanket materials
are waterproof and designed to keep your horse dry. However, if your horse is
turned out in a field without a run-in shed or shelter during prolonged rain or
heavy downpours, your horse may still get wet, especially in the neck and tail
areas.
When using a blanket or sheet, it is critical to monitor
the fluctuating climate and temperatures, even with a blanket that is
waterproof and breathable. The wicking properties of a breathable blanket are
designed to wick away normal body heat. When a blanket is too heavy, the heat
and moisture cannot be wicked away fast enough, causing your horse to sweat.
The temperature and the length of your horse’s coat will determine what weight
of blanket you should use. For this reason, most people who choose to blanket
horses have several articles of horse clothing that offer varying levels of
warmth.
