Despite all the hurdles you have to jump over to cross the final furlong and bring a horse home, this lovable animal remains one of the most popular pets in the U.S.

Whether you're a trainer who already has a herd on your property or you're bringing home a new horse for the first time, lots of planning and supplies are needed to make sure your latest addition has a comfortable place to live before you can sit back, relax, and share a bucket of beer with your new best friend

A horse blanket can help protect them from harsh weather conditions, regulate body temperature, and even help prevent certain skin problems due to wet coats.

Keep in mind when shopping for the best blanket for your horse that the “fill” is letting you know how heavy the blanket is. The higher the fill, the heavier the blanket, so higher fills are best for horses in cold environments.

Check out our best horse blanket guide to find out which horse blanket sizes, types, and materials our veterinarians recommend for your horse.
