Winter horse blankets are commonly made of materials such as canvas or other synthetic textiles, and lined with quilted cotton for added warmth. Blankets should fit snugly but allow free movement for the comfort of the horse.

How much does a horse blanket cost?

There are several different types of blankets. There are fly sheets for the summer months and they usually run about $60 to $70. Then there are stable blankets. These are used for horses that are stalled during cold weather. You can double up on stable blankets for extra warmth on cold nights. Stable blankets should only be worn in the stall as most of them are not waterproof and in rain the horse will be soaked and cold. Stable blankets run about $120 to $150, sometimes more. Then there are the turn-out rugs. These are extra durable and should repel water pretty well. They are made for your horse to go outside in incliment weather. Of course these types of blankets are usually the most expensive. A good turn-out rug will run $150 up to $350 or more depending on the brand. Just remember once you blanket your horse you must keep the blankets on until spring and warmer weather. If they rip or ruin their blanket you have to be prepared to buy another. And trust me on this, they will rip and tear them beyond recognition. Blanketing is an investment in time and money. Good luck.


Is one bail of hay good enough for a horse during the winter?

One bail of hay is not good enough for a horse for the winter. A horse should have a lot more feed than that. Depending on what kind of hay the bail is made out of, because there are a lot of different types of hay that have different nutrient values. If you feed grass hay (a popular kind) one horse can be fed a ration of hay twice a day (or once a day twice being the better choice) until the bail is used up. One bail can last between 3to7 days depending on the size of the bale. For a whole winter, a horse can go through almost a ton of hay. This is if the hay is the only feed a horse gets and is not able to graze on any grass or pasture. The amount of hay fed will be less if there is fair pasture available.
