There are about three basic types of horse blankets (rugs). Summertime is perfect for fly sheets, cotton stable sheets or nylon sheets. Winter is for stable blankets, with or without liners and hoods and turnout rugs or all-weather turnout blankets, with or without hoods.

And of course boots and leg wraps for every occation, preferably matching the horse's 'binky's'.
