The number of blanket and sheet repairs I've paid for, Alanna's positive review, and an internet special prompted me to purchase a turnout sheet from SmartPak that has a 10-year guarantee against damage. It arrived yesterday, and I tried it on Lance today. I got an 84" because I have an 81" that is a bit too small for Lance, but I'm thinking an 81" in this brand would fit him better. What do you think?
As for me, Polarfleece breeches and wool socks keep me warm during our rides; that, and something to cover my ears. We tootled around in the arena this afternoon; I asked for a couple canter departs each direction just as a reminder to us both, and was pleased with Lance's response. But mostly we walk, and it is enough for now.

Oh...I love the high neck version of this blanket. Roz may need one next year (and next time they are on sale for 30% off). It's hard to say on the size...3" smaller may be snug. Although after a second look at the photos you might be okay with an 81". He's a big boy!
I'd go with 81 inch. Haunches flaring out when too big just lets drafts in. I think that blanket must run large. I like the high necks but they tend to accordion back toward withers after a while.
Hello,
My name is Alyssa and I author the equestrian blog 'Brunette in Breeches'.
My blog is quite new (only about 2-3 months old) and in the time I have been blogging I have noticed that the equestrian blogging community is quite small (compared to other blogging 'niches').
So I thought that I would make a group where equestrian bloggers can network, meet other bloggers, look for projects, guest/posts, seek advice etc. If this is something that you may be interested in I would love to see you in the facebook group:
