Re: [RC] [RC] Blankets (weatherbeeta) - terry banisterYes! My horse has both the lightweight and the quilted heavy Hugs. They are great! They don't slip or bind. I have used them two years now, and they still look like new. I have been completely satisfied.Terry "May the Horse be with you"
Jonni makes some good points. My two cents worth is that the Weatherbetta fly sheet I bought had too big a neck so it ended up either dragging down toward his legs or choking him. Bottom line, horses are built differently so the sheet needs to conform to the individual horse. I have been looking at the Hug closure type blankets to get a more customized fit. Has anyone tried those?

(I will be glad when my computer is fixed, and I don't have to post as a guest...sorry y'all) I have not tried a Taka blanket. But, have LOVED the Weatherbetta 1200 deiner blankets that I have bought. (I think they call it the extreme turn out) They have a mesh lining, and are great for the heavy rain in areas where it is not cold (like we get in Texas sometimes) You can add a blanket under them if it is cold out too. The price is excellent, at about $90 from Stateline Tack. They run big. I bought all of mine in size 69, and that seems to be the best size for averaging out a fit on all my Arabs. Have had them on tall, longer built, and short, fat horses. I would not buy any less than the 1200 deiner if you want waterproof. These have kept them dry in the worst storms. Used them at both long XP rides in 2001 and 2004. I like the hardware on the Weatherbeeta blankets too. Some of the knock offs, make you think you are buying a blanket "just like" a weatherbeeta, but when it gets down to construction and hardware, you will see the difference. Oh, and if you need a warm blanket, they make them lined too. I have a blanket that is about 15 - 18 years old. A Weatherbeeta, that is patched, repaired, and has been used hard, but still is going pretty strong. No hardware breaks. That is the end of my sales pitch for the day. I am just very happy with these turn out sheets, especially for the money! Jonni in TX
