This spring and summer has been horrid. I swear its going to snow tonight ! I am still blanketing my 2 horses I clipped for a May 1st show. My favorite blanket has the traditional under the belly metal closures . This closure scares me , not so much during the day where I can keep an eye on her , but at night when I know they are down for sleeping . I worry a hoof will get caught in the belly strap. Anyone else worry too? I am sticking to the velcro belly strap, I feel like in an emergency they can break free, except these blankets are 1. not warm or thick enough for our temps 6 degreese C and lower... and 2. they are closed at the chest so they can get completely out of them... anyone know of a 100% safe, breakaway , warm ,water resistant , breathable rug ? I tried those rubber safe closures you put on the metal clasps... but those are so dourable that there is no way my refined little mare can break the rubber ...it was a cool idea though. My horses are not stalled at night, they have a large stall, where they can sleep together but I keep the door open so they can go out and get fresh air in a small pasture connected, so they are constantly moving , they are at a higher risk for getting caught up on something, even though I have horse proofed the area. I would love to get some deals too if I can , if anyone knows of someone with a few blankets i need 42 s .
