The Bony Pony

A stable blanket is generally a quilted blanket that is not waterproof. Stable blankets come in two main weights, medium and heavy. You will also find lined sheets and cotton or nylon stable sheets. When choosing a stable blanket, you want it to fit well as your horse will be spending a lot of time in it. Would you like it if your blanket was always slipped off to one side?

There are two design styles of stable blankets, your "American" or "Quarter Horse" cut and your European cut. Depending on your horse's build, one may work better than the other at staying in place.
