Horses Turned Outside Without Shelter:
Saxon 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.
