			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following article presents the very latest information on Horse Blankets. If you have a particular interest in Horse Blankets, then this informative article is required reading.</p>
<p>Any prospective horse owner should know that your horse equipment is a necessity when you decide to buy a horse.  Ask someone who already owns a horse and they&#8217;ll probably make it seem like owning a horse is quick and easy.  Well, it can be if you start with the proper horse equipment.</p>
<p>First you&#8217;ll need to remember that a horse blanket is a useful item to have, not to mention a necessity should you also buy a western saddle.</p>
<p>Well, what&#8217;s the big deal about adding a saddle to your list of horse equipment?  A saddle comes in all shapes and sizes and functions.  Yes, a saddle should fit the occasion.  If you only plan to pleasure ride, you won&#8217;t need a barrel racer&#8217;s saddle.  If you won&#8217;t be racing your horse professionally, you won&#8217;t need a saddle fit for a horse jockey.<br />
The proper horse equipment can make your horse like you and want to stick around or be difficult from the first day!  Some horses, mind you, do have a more aggressive temperament and can be stubborn no matter how much you try to please them.  They are, in this way, like some people who come to mind who are better off not mentioned!  But for the most part, horse ownership can be a welcome adventure.</p>
<p>If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole Horse Blankets story from informed sources.</p>
<p>So can the process of getting the perfect horse equipment.  Again&#8211;don&#8217;t forget the horse blanket!  Horses don&#8217;t require much clothing, as anyone knows.  But a horse blanket could be considered their clothing and is an essential piece to add to the list of equipment.  Even little puppies like to have their own blankies!  Besides the possibility of becoming a mental security blanket, the horse blanket has several more important uses, and you may even want to purchase one for yourself.<br />
When you choose your horse equipment, or even your horse blanket, seek the aid of an experienced horseman.  You may want advice from both someone who is new to the field, to avoid the same mistakes as them, and someone who has been a horse owner for several years who can share with you which pieces you&#8217;ll want to make sure are quality choices and where to find them.  Even the horse blanket should be a quality piece of work.</p>
<p>Mentioned earlier was the necessity of buying a horse blanket for use with the western saddle.  This type saddle is not padded and can be a source of discomfort for the horse when used alone.  A horse blanket must be placed underneath the saddle to prevent blisters, raw patches caused by sweat and rubbing, and muscle soreness.  A thoughtful rider gains better results from the animal.  If you want your horse to respect you, you must respect your horse.</p>
<p>As there are different types and sizes of saddles, different types and sizes of blankets are available.  Sometimes no blanket is necessary.  Whatever the case may be, please understand the importance of having the right equipment for the right situation.  The horse will thank you by way of affection and performance, not to mention good health and form.</p>
<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s tough to sort out all the details related to this subject, but I&#8217;m positive you&#8217;ll have no trouble making sense of the information presented above.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Physically the horse is a thing of incredible beauty and unbelievable wonder. There are very few things in the world more beautiful then a well groomed horse in motion. It doesn&#8217;t matter if that horse is performing a complicated dressage test, running down the backstretch, sailing over a jump, or chasing after a calf, the horse is a thing of incredible beauty.</p>
<p>In addition to being structurally designed to steal your breath , horses have a hair coat that is designed to withstand the elements. As long as they have plenty of fresh water, lots of roughage and a good shelter there is very little reason to blanket a horse. Most breeds have skins that are fairly tough. In addition to a tough skin they are blessed with a wonderful hair coat. Their hair is designed to fluff and catch pockets of air, once the air is caught in the hair it is warmed with the horses body heat. A healthy horse with a good hair coat will stay warm, wrapped in their air pocket throughout the winter. If you don&#8217;t believe  drive past a field of unlamented horses in the winter, chances are pretty good that they will be completely ignoring any shelter they have been given. The only time the average horse has a real problem with staying warm is if they have gotten wet, or if their hair has been flattened by mud.</p>
<p>Just because the average horse doesn&#8217;t need a blanket in the winter doesn&#8217;t mean that they all don&#8217;t. Several breeds, including Arabians and Thoroughbreds, have thin skin that is easily chilled. Older horses can also have a difficult time staying warm. Horses that have had an injury or illness that caused them to loose hair. Horses that are underweight are another group of horses that should be watched carefully to make sure they don&#8217;t develop a chill.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s really a good idea to probe a little deeper into the subject of Horse Blankets. What you learn may give you the confidence you need to venture into new areas.</p>
<p>There are a variety of reason&#8217;s horse owners might choose to leave their horse blanketed during the winter months. Some people who ride during the winter months choose to save time cooling out and waiting for their horse to dry after it has been worked by body clipping, horses that have been body clipped must be blanketed.</p>
<p>Several show barns might decided to leave their horses blanketed so they are able to attend shows in the early spring with a horse that is sleek and shiny as opposed to a horse that is covered in a thick winter fuzz.</p>
<p>In the summer there are three main reasons a horse owner might choose to blanket their horse. Some horses, especially light colour ones are prone to sunburn, wearing a light weight blanket allows these horses to be outside without burning. Some horses are highly susceptible to bug bites a turnout fly sheet prevents bugs from biting their sensitive skin. Horse owners who spend a great deal of time on the show circuit will use a light weigh sheet to prevent the sun from bleaching their show horses coat. A few horse owners will even resort to a heavy weight turnout rug in an attempt to help sweat off a few of their equine friends excessive pounds.</p>
<p>Knowing enough about Horse Blankets to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you&#8217;ve just learned about Horse Blankets, you should have nothing to worry about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When most people think of Horse Blankets, what comes to mind is usually basic information that&#8217;s not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there&#8217;s a lot more to Horse Blankets than just the basics.</p>
<p>Let us say winter is here and you&#8217;re warm and cozy by the fireplace, drinking the hot chocolate and reading a good book.  Maybe you are enjoying some soothing music while ensconced in your favorite pajamas; all wrapped up comfortably in your soft blanket while the snow falls lightly outside.</p>
<p>What about your horse?  Is your horse in a clean, warm stall in the barn, with fresh hay and clean water, protected from the elements?  Did you remember his horse blanket?  It&#8217;s not as though he can waltz over to his little closet and take it out of the drawer!  Your precious investment is depending on you to remember the particulars of his care.<br />
A cold horse in winter is a pitiful thing indeed.  If you decide to buy a horse, even if it is just for the sake of saying you own one, please take the time to provide proper care and housing, medical attention, and the right equipment.  Part of that equipment and proper care involves the horse blanket.</p>
<p>A horse blanket is particularly needed in the cold, hard elements of the winter season.  The horse has no way of actually saying, &#8220;Hey, could you hand me that blanket, please?&#8221;  It is a living, breathing creation and is counting on the master of the estate to give it what it needs to survive.</p>
<p>Truthfully, the only difference between you and Horse Blankets experts is time. If you&#8217;ll invest a little more time in reading, you&#8217;ll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to Horse Blankets.</p>
<p>The horse blankets need not be elaborate, expensive pieces of valuable art.  They simply need to be functional for the animal.  The function here is to hold in the animal&#8217;s body heat in the winter.  Of course, they are also used as cushioning underneath the saddles among other things.  Which, by the way, is also needed in the winter and the blanket helps the horse stay warmer while being ridden outside.</p>
<p>Miniature horses have their own furry horse blankets in the winter.  Even though all horses have thicker hair in the winter, the minis look woolly!  They sometimes enjoy running in the snow just for fun!  One type of miniature horse is the Falabella, which are said to be survivors of the Ice Age.  They must have been an extremely tough breed of animal to survive the harsh winters from that period of time.</p>
<p>Maybe you are wondering if the horses of the Ice Age needed blankets.  While I&#8217;m sure plenty survived without them, horses being gentled and tamed by mankind have also been bred somewhat spoiled or weakened, if you will.  I suppose you could compare it to a dog that has been kept inside with the central heat since a pup.  If you put the dog outside in the yard in the harsh winter, it will struggle against the cold.  Besides, just because a horse survived the Ice Age doesn&#8217;t mean he should be forced to endure the winter without a horse blanket now.  Humans survived living in caves with no electricity or modern amenities, but now we&#8217;ve spoiled and pampered ourselves and most would have a hard time surviving harsh conditions of nature.  So, care for your horse with the love and tenderness that is deserved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have even a passing interest in the topic of Horse Blankets, then you should take a look at the following information. This enlightening article presents some of the latest news on the subject of Horse Blankets.</p>
<p>As humans we are aware of the danger of staying in the sun to long. We know that if we spend to much time out in the sun we run the risk of turning a nice tan in to an ugly sunburn. In addition to being unattractive and painful we are also aware that sunburns can lead to skin cancer. We use all sorts of tricks from sunscreen to light weight covers to prevent are<br />
skin from frying.</p>
<p>Because they are big and appear to be infallible (a trait that every horse owner knows is a illusion) we often forget about the affect that the sun has on our horses.</p>
<p>Horses, just like people, can sunburn. Sunburn is most frequently seen on horses with  a light colored hair coat such as Appaloosa&#8217;s, Lipizzans, Paints, Pintos, Andalusian, and grays. Horse owners who own horses with white noses and a lot of pale skin around the eyes often find themselves treating their equine partners for sunburn. A sudden change in hormones, like horses that have been bred, can cause a horse to develop sunburn. Although dark horses aren&#8217;t typically irritated by sunburn the sun often bleaches the dark hair. In some cases severe sunburn is believed to lead to some liver damage.</p>
<p>Horse owners should also be aware that some medications can also trigger sunburn in horses. Tetracycline is one medication that has been known to cause sunburn in some horses.</p>
<p>Equine sunburn looks just like human sunburn. The skin turns an angry shade of pink or a violent red. If the skin is left untreated long enough it starts to chap and crack. Horses that are suffering from severe sunburn will start to blister. Sunburn can cause hair loss.</p>
<p>Treating sunburned eyes is fairly simple. All an owner needs to do is purchase a fly mask for their horse. When using a fly mask it is extremely important to make sure that the fly mask is kept clean. Simply use a hose and a sprayer to rinse the dirt and eye gunk from the mask. After rinsing the fly mask hang it in the sun to dry.</p>
<p>Some fly masks have an extension that protects the end of the nose from getting sunburned. If you do not own a fly mask that covers your horses nose all you need to do is rub your horses nose with sunscreen that you can purchase at your local drugstore.</p>
<p>If you find yourself confused by what you&#8217;ve read to this point, don&#8217;t despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish.</p>
<p>Some horse owners, especially ones who are interested in showing, try to prevent the sun from damaging their horses coat by keeping them inside during the day time hours when the sun is the most damaging. Other owners prefer to keep their horses covered with a light weight turn out blanket or fly sheet to protect their horses hair coat. One of the reasons some owners prefer a blanketed horse to one kept inside is that they feel that keeping a horse stalled and completely free of sunlight can lead to depression.</p>
<p>I hope that reading the above information was both enjoyable and educational for you. Your learning process should be ongoing&#8211;the more you understand about any subject, the more you will be able to share with others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many items are needed to care for horses.  Let&#8217;s explore two such items now.  Suppose your horse needed added warmth?  Would you just let it shiver and risk illness?  No, you&#8217;d provide it with something called a horse blanket.  Horse blankets are quite handy and can be used in many different ways, to benefit both you and your horse.</p>
<p>Some people collect horse blankets to use as decorations around their home, office, or restaurant.  Museums have collections of horse blankets, which date back centuries.  A true horseman respects the use of the horse blanket and has discovered much value in owning several.  The old West was not complete without horse blankets.  They kept the horse comfortable by providing padding underneath the saddle, kept the horse warm and even at times provided warmth or a pillow for the rider.  They were valuable to use for trade in areas where they were not readily available.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s discuss the leg wrap.  If you prefer, you can find a leg wrap to match the color of your horse blanket.  This might be an issue is you are entering a parade or showing your horse or if you just prefer such attention to detail.  There are many colors available in leg wraps.</p>
<p>Most of this information comes straight from the Horse Blankets pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you&#8217;ll know what they know.</p>
<p>Horses do get injuries and require leg wraps as part of your medical supplies.  A conscientious horse owner would keep a few on hand for emergencies.  They are sold at veterinary supply offices.  Use your leg wraps wisely so as to enhance and not hinder the healing process of your wounded animal.  Magnetic leg wraps are sold for aid to circulation problems and to enhance cellular activity for quicker healing.  This might benefit problems with joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.<br />
There are elastic bandage leg wraps, also used by some people for their own injuries, sold in four by five yard rolls, which stick to themselves.</p>
<p>Should you want your youngster to feel important while caring for your wounded pet, you could use animal print leg wraps.  This would make learning about horse care more appealing for the child.</p>
<p>If color isn&#8217;t an issue, there is your basic black leg wrap, made of neoprene.  Or you could buy a fancy satin white leg wrap.  Quilted leg wraps can be washed in your washer and thrown into your dryer, providing longer lasting use.<br />
If you are out rounding up livestock far away from the home and maybe are unable to get back quickly, suppose your horse develops cuts on his legs and you have nothing suitable to use as a bandage or leg protection before heading into rougher territory.  Once more, we bring leg wraps and horse blankets together.  What&#8217;s more important, the blanket, or your animal&#8217;s welfare?  Cut off a piece of the horse blanket and use it as a temporary leg wrap. </p>
<p>Always consider consulting your local veterinarian for your horse&#8217;s injuries.  A leg wrap may not be necessary and if not used properly could inhibit the results.</p>
<p>Hopefully the sections above have contributed to your understanding of Horse Blankets. Share your new understanding about Horse Blankets with others. They&#8217;ll thank you for it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who owns horses knows that fly are a problem. Even barns and horse owners with the tidiest stables, that haul their manure away immediately and have nice dry sandy lots have to deal with fly issues. Many horse owners attempt to control their fly population by using a variety of methods including fly sprays, fly strips, bug zappers, fly misters that mist the stabling area with fly sprays, and a variety of wraps and collars that have been soaked in fly spray. Mustangs will search for mud holes that they use to cover themselves in mud to discourage fly bites. In an effort to keep their horses bite free some owners try to keep them blanketed from head to toe, but hot summer temperatures often force them to removed the blankets during the hottest hours of the afternoon.</p>
<p>Several horse owners use fly sheets as a form of fly control.</p>
<p>The material used to make fly sheets is the same type of finely woven mesh material used<br />
to make vinyl lawn furniture. The same type that has been used since the 1960&#8242;s.  Fly sheets are typically constructed of polyvinyl that is resistant to UV rays and comes in a wide variety of colors (including blaze orange for horse owner that live in the middle of a hunting region.) The polyvinyl is normally designed in a loose weave pattern. Polyvinyl is damage caused by dirt and oils.</p>
<p>Horse owners have two different types of fly sheets to select from, a scrim sheet and a turnout fly sheet.</p>
<p>Fly sheets that are designed for turnout purposes are typically made of a stiffer lightweight material then scrim fly sheets. When outfitting a horse with a turnout fly sheet owners should make sure that the sheet fits well enough that the breast straps, surcingles, and leg straps do not have to be tightened excessively which can impede the horses movement. Owners should not cross the leg straps of a turnout fly sheet. Leaving the leg straps uncrossed will allow the horse to flap his under his belly without ensnaring it in the straps. When purchasing a fly sheet for turnout owners should look for one made of a lightweight mesh material that is easy to clean. In the event of severe stains (manure and grass are the most common) blanket owners can try using a stiff, sudsy brush directly on the stain. this works especially well if the blanket is laid on a concrete surface. A fly sheet made with polyvinyl will typically dry within thirty minutes of being washed.  Machine washable is ideal. It is not a bad idea to purchase two turnout fly sheets, that way if one gets dirty or tears owners have another one available.</p>
<p>A well crafted turnout fly sheet will be designed to tear if the horse gets it caught on something but should be designed in such a way that the damage will be minimal.</p>
<p>Most horse owners prefer elastic leg straps on their turnout fly sheets over the nylons variety.</p>
<p>Scrim flysheets are designed to be used while the horse is in a stall, typically after a thorough grooming has removed all the naturally protective dirt and oils from the horses coat. Scrim fly sheets are designed to loosely cover the horses body. because of the loose fit horses should never be turned loose while clothed in a scrim fly sheet. Many owners also use scrim fly sheets as an anti-sweat blanket.</p>
<p>The mesh design of fly sheets will not prevent the horse from becoming dirty and dusty like solid blankets.</p>
<p>Those of you not familiar with the latest on Horse Blankets now have at least a basic understanding. But there&#8217;s more to come.</p>
<p>A fly sheet should help wick moisture away from the horses body which will keep them cool and comfortable throughout the hot summer months.</p>
<p>The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact. Then you&#8217;ll be glad you took the time to learn more about Horse Blankets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The more you understand about any subject, the more interesting it becomes. As you read this article you&#8217;ll find that the subject of Horse Blankets is certainly no exception.</p>
<p>If you look in any horse catalog or browse through the blanket section of any tack store you will immediately notice that there is a wide selection of several different types of blankets. To the uninitiated the exact use for each of these blankets can be confusing.</p>
<p>Turn-out rugs are exactly what they sound like. Turn-out rugs are blankets that are sturdy enough to handle the wear and tear of life outside. They are designed to hold up to the roughest of play. They are also designed to rip if the horse gets caught on something in their field.</p>
<p>There are two types of turn-out rugs. The heavy variety are designed to be used during the cold winter months while the lighter blankets (the lighter variety of blankets are typically called sheets while the heavier type are called rugs).</p>
<p>Quarter sheets are strange looking things. Held next to the full size sheets and rugs they look like somebody forgot to attach the from half of the blanket. Blanket designers haven&#8217;t forgotten a thing. Quarter sheets are designed to hook to the saddle and cover the horses haunches. These blankets are typically used to keep a horses muscles warm while the rider<br />
waits to go into the show ring after a rider has finished their pre-class schooling session. Some riders decide to save money and instead of purchasing a quarter sheet they simply use their stable sheet folded in half to cover their horse.</p>
<p>Most of this information comes straight from the Horse Blankets pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you&#8217;ll know what they know.</p>
<p>Stable sheets are light weight sheets that are too thin to be used outside of the stabling area. They are generally used to cover the horse after its been groomed and bathed. They have the very specific purpose of keeping the horse clean. Some riders use stable sheets to cover a horse while it is being transported. Many large stables have their stable sheets<br />
custom done in their stables colors. Some catalogs and tack shops refer to stable sheets as dress sheets.</p>
<p>Coolers are another type of blanket that are self-explanatory. Coolers are placed on a hot horse to help slow the cooling process. They cover the entire horse, ear to tail. The open design of coolers allows the air to flow through them. Coolers are typically custom designed in a stables colors and can be monogrammed. Several shows give away coolers, instead of trophies and ribbons, as an reward for high point championships.</p>
<p>Fly sheets are blankets that are designed to help keep flies from pestering their horses. Horse owners can choose between a close knit fly sheet or one that has a large weave pattern.</p>
<p>Blanket liners are typically designed from thin smooth material that is designed to slide smoothly across the horses muscles without rubbing off the hair or chaffing the skin. Typically blanket liners cover only the horses chest and shoulders where blankets typically wear at the horses hair.</p>
<p>No matter what type of blanket you decide to use it is important to make sure that the blanket properly fits your horse. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine the next time you join a discussion about Horse Blankets. When you start sharing the fascinating Horse Blankets facts below, your friends will be absolutely amazed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Horse boots?&#8221; you ask.  &#8220;Horse blankets&#8230;does my horse come with its own wardrobe?&#8221;  The purchase of a horse can bring so many changes; it can overwhelm the owner just by the information needed on the supplies.</p>
<p>For your journey into horse care, you&#8217;ll need good horse blankets.  More than one is quite handy as one alone is sure to get dirty and need attention just when you count on it the most.  The horse blanket, of course, usually goes along with owning a western saddle, which requires the use of a blanket underneath because of the lack of padding.  It would be cruel to use a western saddle without a horse blanket, and usually a pad is used in addition to the blanket.  You want optimum performance from your animal.  You get that result by taking good care of your horse, which mean using the proper equipment and supplies.</p>
<p>Aside from the horse blankets, pads, and saddle, you&#8217;ll want other things such as a horse trailer for hauling the animal, a properly fenced area for grazing, a barn for storing hay and stalling the horse, curry combs for the care of the mane and tail and to groom the horse&#8217;s coat of hair, a big water barrel or trough, grains for feeding, bridles, bits, a halter, and various other items that might come in use.</p>
<p>The more authentic information about Horse Blankets you know, the more likely people are to consider you a Horse Blankets expert. Read on for even more Horse Blankets facts that you can share.</p>
<p>One of those items could possibly be horse boots.  Don&#8217;t worry, you won&#8217;t have to take your pet shopping and spend hours at the shoe store while they choose their selections!  You could be amazed, however, at the stores that do sell horse boots and at how many varieties there are.  There may be as many as there are different selections of blankets.<br />
Your beloved pet need not be dressed in its &#8220;horse clothes&#8221; each time it leaves the barn.  Unlike our clothes, which we could get arrested for not wearing in public, your horse would wear its clothes only when appropriate for the situation.<br />
As with the horse blankets, the horse boots are not just for looks.  You can, however, match the color of the boots to the color of the blanket, if that is an issue for say, show purposes.</p>
<p>Available for purchase are vinyl boots, bell boots, rubber bell boots, and splint boots among others.  You can buy boot covers to keep the boots clean.</p>
<p>One of the important uses of horse boots is for the miniature horse used as a guide horse for the blind.  These tiny creatures are extremely intelligent and must be protected from the abuse of the city sidewalks and scorching pavement.<br />
Horse boots have occasionally been used in lieu of horseshoes, yet another necessity for the new horse owner to learn about.  The shoes in question do not refer to dress shoes or casual wear, but the shaped metal pounded into the bottoms of a horse&#8217;s hooves.</p>
<p>Hardened surfaces can be brutal against a horse&#8217;s hooves.  Especially a horse subjected to tough work conditions.  One type of horse that comes to mind is the horse used for police patrol duty in cities.<br />
No matter what activity you choose to use your horse for, remember it is under your care and control and deserves the best treatment.</p>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s impossible to put everything about Horse Blankets into just one article. But you can&#8217;t deny that you&#8217;ve just added to your understanding about Horse Blankets, and that&#8217;s time well spent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever feel like you know just enough about Horse Blankets to be dangerous? Let&#8217;s see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from Horse Blankets experts.</p>
<p>What do you need for the proper care of your horse?  Besides things such as horse blankets, saddles, a horse trailer, the right food, clean water, adequate housing and roaming room, a horse brush, treats, careful training, and lots of love and attention?  You need veterinary care.</p>
<p>One of the things a horse can encounter includes something called splints.  There are splint bones, not to be confused with the injury itself; however, splints do affect the area of the splint bones.  There is a bone called the cannon that is affected as well.  Blind splints occur between the two.  These are harder to diagnose and take longer to heal.</p>
<p>The locations of the splint bones run alongside the cannon bone, being attached by a ligament to the cannon bone itself.  The ligament is called the &#8220;interosseous ligament&#8221;.  Understanding the terms will help familiarize you when the vet comes to call.  This is helpful especially if you are a first-time horse owner.</p>
<p>Pain and swelling of the bone area occurs on the inside of the leg, just below the knees.  It is possible for this injury to happen to the back legs as well.  Splints normally would happen to a horse up to five years of age.</p>
<p>Sometimes the most important aspects of a subject are not immediately obvious. Keep reading to get the complete picture.</p>
<p>The condition can cause lameness for several weeks.  Fast, hard overworking can cause splints, so please be kind and considerate to your animal and don&#8217;t expect him to work until he literally drops from exhaustion.  Especially understand that the work load and pace must be reduced for the horse to heal.  Try to put yourself in his place.  The horse can&#8217;t tell you verbally when he&#8217;s had enough.  If you had a sprain or a fracture, you would want the same consideration from others.<br />
The area will feel hot to the touch when inflamed.  Help your horse remain calm, keep him or her in an area where no one and nothing could spook, hose the hot area with cold water.  Allow rest.</p>
<p>Although you should reduce the workload, light exercise on a soft surface is recommended to encourage the healing bone growth.  It may take a few days of treatment with the cold therapy.  Surgery is possible, but it is not as productive as you would think and may increase the size of the splint injury.</p>
<p>Splints are usually caused by a hard hit to the splint bone area, such as another horse&#8217;s kick.  Working on hard surfaces is another possible cause, but this usually will affect both legs at once.</p>
<p>When you place your horse on rest and recovery, remember to put that horse blanket to good use.  If a horse is kept warm and comfortable, healing will be much more pleasant.  The horse blanket is like a jacket to a horse, and an injured horse may need his jacket more than normal.  If he is running fever from an inflammation, he may get chills.  If he is recovering during the cold weather season, the blanket may save an even bigger vet bill!</p>
<p>If treated properly, complete healing is expected.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot to understand about Horse Blankets. We were able to provide you with some of the facts above, but there is still plenty more to write about in subsequent articles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Current info about Horse Blankets is not always the easiest thing to locate. Fortunately, this report includes the latest Horse Blankets info available.</p>
<p>At first it can seems like such a simple task, all you have to do is open that glossy horse supply and tack catalog that is laying on the table and purchase a new Western saddle pad. No problem.</p>
<p>You can see that there&#8217;s practical value in learning more about Horse Blankets. Can you think of ways to apply what&#8217;s been covered so far?</p>
<p>Just a few short seconds after opening the catalog you realize exactly how big a project you are about to undertake. Instead of opening the catalog and finding the one or two saddle pads you expected you find your self facing page after page after page of saddle pads. Each saddle pad has its own cut, material type, and function. The magazine offers a brief blurb on each pad but nothing that is really helpful. The only thing that the blankets seem to have in common is the price&#8230;expensive.</p>
<p>The first thing you need to consider is your budget. The typical horse person operates on a tight budget. Every day they are confronted with a flood of bills that never seems to stop, feed bills, veterinarian bills, board bills, lesson bills, and miscellaneous bills. It is tempting to purchase the cheapest saddle blanket the catalogue sells. Before you place that order you should stop and think. When it comes to tack cheaper is typically not better. Cheap saddle blankets tend to be so thin that they offer next to no cushioning, the flimsy material often bunches and can cause saddle sores if the owner is negligent when saddling. Cheap blankets can slide while the owner is riding (this is especially true if your horse is as round as a barrel). The advantage to cheap saddle blankets is that they are typically washing machine cleanable, but the downside is that they seldom last for more then a few cleanings. The one time I recommend buying a really cheap Western saddle pad is when you are first saddling a young horse. If cost is a major issue consider looking in the clearance sections of the catalogs and tack stores. I&#8217;ve found that I typically find the best deals on saddle blankets when I&#8217;m not looking for one.</p>
<p>The second thing you need to take into consideration when you are looking for a Western saddle blanket is what type of saddle do you have. Not all Western saddles are designed the same, there are saddles cut to fit specific breeds  (Arabians and Quarter Horses typically use a different saddle design), saddles that are designed for different purposes (a barrel racing saddle looks completely different from a saddle that a roper will be riding in). The important thing to remember is that the when the saddle pad is on, no part of the underside of the saddle should be touching the horses back.</p>
<p>It is important to consider your horses body type when you are purchasing a saddle blanket. If you own a horse whose mid section resembles a barrel and their withers are nothing more then a distant memory (this is the typical body type of ponies) you will want to look for a saddle pad that is made of material that is designed not to slip and slide all over the place. If you are a rider that typically leans heavily on one side of your saddle you will also want to consider a non-slip saddle blanket. If your horse has prominent withers you will want to look for a saddle blanket that will add extra protection and padding in the front. A swaybacked horse requires a saddle pad that will offer extra support everywhere, you&#8217;ll also want to look for a saddle pad that is thick enough you saddle will sit above the horses withers and hips.</p>
<p>Western saddle pads are not easy to clean. They are typically to stiff and cumbersome to fit in a washing machine and if you are able to cram them into your washing machine you will quickly learn that it can take several days before they are dry. Once a Western saddle pad has been washed it typically doesn&#8217;t look the same again. Most Western riders try to keep their saddle pads clean by placing a cheap Navajo rug under the think fluffy Western Blanket.</p>
<p>Those who only know one or two facts about Horse Blankets can be confused by misleading information. The best way to help those who are misled is to gently correct them with the truths you&#8217;re learning here.</p>
