Some horse owners blanket their horses in the rain while others do not. A lot depends on where the horse lives, temperatures, age of horse, etc. It’s a decision up to the owner. If you do use rain sheets, a good sign that it’s time buy your horse a new rain sheet is when you remove the sheet after a day in the rain and find your horse is soaked. Water proof and water resistant materials on your horse’s blanket do not last for the lifetime of the blanket. In fact, if you wash your blanket with regular detergent you could strip the water resistant properties right off the blanket. You have a couple of options when your rain sheet is no longer protecting your horse from the rain. You can buy a new one, you can apply a water resisting spray yourself, or you can have it treated professionally. Learn more from your vet clinic Wichita KS.
