Hi, on behalf of expertvillag.com, my name is Shelly Roberts with AA Callister in Salt
Lake City, Utah, I am going to show you some points about how to do buy a winter horse
blanket. Fist I would like to show you what a winter horse blanket is. It is a body cover
that will usually cover from their chest back to their tail and this is Rudy here. Rudy
also has on a hood and we will go into hoods a little later but just a winter horse blanket
something to protect your horse from the elements. Now some people might say why does my horse
need a winter horse blanket. Horses have been around for thousands of years and it's true
mother nature has provided them with a layer of head that will protect them from the elements.
But as we have domesticated horses, we've taken them out of their natural environment
and put them in places that they wouldn't naturally be like in a snow covered pasture
up to 3 feet where they can't get any food vegetation. So we've had to get horse blankets
to provide them with the natural covering that they would need in that environment that
mother nature hasn't provide for them. So we will go over what a horse blanket is, types
of horse blankets there are, what sizes there are and how to size your horse for the winter
horse blanket. So that is how to start choosing a horse blanket, a winter horse blanket.
