Layers, Layers,Layers. It is really
quite simple. Have a selection of blankets, coolers, liners etc. Put
on or take off layers to keep the horse comfortable. If you ride in an
area where cold rains are possible, the top layer should be completely
waterproof.
We purchased very cheap cotton canvas sheets many years
ago. I then treated them with Thompson's water seal. (not silicone
waterproofing or Fluorocarbon, like Scotchgard(TM) or Teflon(TM)). The
result is a somewhat stiff, ugly, completely waterproof blanket.
