Yes, it is possible to waterproof a horse blanket. There are a few ways to do this:
-
Use a waterproofing spray: There are several waterproofing sprays available on the market that are specifically designed for horse blankets. These sprays can be applied to the outside of the blanket to create a waterproof barrier. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
-
Use a waterproofing wash-in solution: There are also wash-in waterproofing solutions available that can be added to the washing machine when washing your horse blanket. These solutions will create a waterproof barrier on the blanket. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
-
Have it professionally treated: Some horse blanket manufacturers offer professional waterproofing treatments for their products. This may involve sending the blanket away to be treated or having a professional come to your barn to treat the blanket on-site.
It's important to note that even with waterproofing treatments, horse blankets may still become damp or wet during heavy rain or snow. It's important to regularly check your horse's blanket for signs of wear or damage and replace it as necessary to ensure your horse stays dry and comfortable.
