Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] best turnout blanket for arabians? - DIANE L KNAPPER

This month my horse just got the WeatherBeeta TAKA 1680. Fits him to a T. It has a 2 year guarantee on rips and hardward breaking. It comes in different weights, the 1680 is for extreme conditions...we live in MN. It has been extreme! I bought him his first WeatherBeeta in 1997 and he has worn it faithfully every winter since, the only thing wrong with it is the WeatherBeeta patch fell off.

I highly recommend the blankets, they fit like they were custom made for him. He is 15.1 and about 1,050 lbs. You can't beat how they wear and the 2 year guarantee on the new one wasn't really necessary based on previous experience. I plan on upgrading his lightweight and midweight blankets to the new TAKA series.

diane & phoenix....we believe -12° air temp is unfit to live in :-)

Might try a Weatherbetta(?)they fit my arab and yearling half -arab well. I have a Big D that fits Rascal great, but he is only a 69.(Someone told me thay were made to fit quarter horses build.)The nylon (slick)linings help prevent rubs better than any other fabric.(I had to add some nylon after the fact to my Wilson on one horse , along with darts to make it fit her neck).

Does anyone have some good advice on fitting blankets for Arabians? I have two blankets both are the same size 74 one an old Simco that is about three inches too small and a Big D that is too big in the chest but fits his body well. It slides back behind his withers and is making a nasty sore there. I need a medium weight blanket for the Midwest weather in Central Illinois. He is pretty good with blankets but has never worn one for longer than a few days. Thanks for any help on the subject! He is about 14.2 and fairly short backed.
