This message is from: "Debby Stai" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I know there are alot that don't blanket. I don't have a problem with that. I have always blanketed. Depends on the horse and the situation. When this mare shivers, its time for a blanket. I know some say a blanket flattens the hair and I do notice that. Wouldn't put a thin lightweight blanket on and expect that to keep her warm. Hers is waterproof and the weight is appropriate, I stick my arm under to feel and I'd crawl under there if I could, warm and toasty. I've done this for years and it works for me. Whatever rolls your boat or toots your horn. Debby
