Dover Saddlery Blanket Wizard

How To Use The Horse Blanket Wizard

1. Choose Easy Keeper or Hard Keeper

   Easy Keeper - Choose easy keeper if your horse maintains weight easily without the need for extra quantities of food, special foods or weight-gain supplements. (Low maintenance.)

   Hard Keeper - Choose hard keeper if your horse requires a close eye on weight maintenance, typically runs underweight, and requires extra food. This horse may require extra supplements and special food designed for weight gain. (High maintenance.)

2. Choose Clipped or Not Clipped

   Clipped - Choose clipped if your horse sports a full body clip, strip clip, or trace clip. Proper blanketing is important to replace your horse's natural protection.

   Not Clipped - Choose not clipped if your horse's natural hair coat is intact and offers natural warmth. Blanketing may be necessary for extreme weather conditions only.
