Measuring Instructions:
Stand your horse as square as possible, and measure from the center of chest
around side of the body to the point of the horse's rump just before the 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.
