Shop Mini and Foal Horse Blankets

Find the perfect blanket for your miniature or foal horse.  View our large selection of Miniature & Foal Horse Blankets, or take a look at some of the featured blankets here.

Miniature horses have unique needs and sizes, so selecting the appropriate blanket is crucial for their comfort and well-being. Here are some key things to look for:

  1. Size and Fit:

    • Mini horses come in various sizes, so it's essential to measure your horse accurately before buying a blanket. Measure from the center of the chest to the point of the buttock (the "A" to "B" measurement) and consult the manufacturer's size chart to find the correct size.
    • Ensure that the blanket fits well without being too tight or too loose, as it can cause discomfort or rubs. Look for adjustable features like surcingles, leg straps, and adjustable chest closures.
    • Here are some common foal blanket sizes:
      Small: This size is suitable for very young foals or newborns. It's designed to fit foals that are just a few days old. Small foal blankets are usually around 28-30 inches in length.
      Medium: This size is appropriate for foals that are a bit older, typically around 1 to 2 months of age. Medium foal blankets are usually about 32 inches in length.
      Large: Large foal blankets are designed for older foals, typically around 2 to 3 months of age. They are generally about 36 inches in length.
  2. Material:

    • Choose a blanket made from durable and weather-resistant materials, such as waterproof and breathable fabric. Common materials include nylon, polyester, or turnout blankets made with synthetic or natural fibers.
    • Consider the weight of the blanket material. Lightweight blankets are suitable for milder weather, while heavy blankets are designed for colder climates.
  3. Insulation:

    • Depending on your climate, select the appropriate level of insulation (fill) for your mini horse's needs. Options include no-fill, light fill, medium fill, and heavy fill blankets.
    • Ensure that the blanket is designed for the specific weather conditions your horse will face, whether it's rain, snow, or just providing an extra layer of warmth.
  4. Design and Features:

    • Look for features that enhance comfort, such as a smooth lining to prevent rubbing, a tail flap to protect the tail, and a high neck or neck cover to provide extra warmth and protection.
    • Consider blankets with reflective strips or bright colors for added visibility, especially if your horse is turned out in a field.
  5. Durability:

    • Check the quality of stitching, closures (buckles, snaps, and straps), and reinforcement in high-wear areas. A well-constructed blanket will last longer.
    • Some blankets come with warranties that can provide peace of mind regarding their durability.

Remember to regularly check and adjust the blanket's fit as your mini horse grows or changes shape. The right blanket will keep your horse comfortable and protected in various weather conditions.
