Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	What do you do for a horse that has blanket rubs on their chest, shoulders, and hindquarters? He wears a rotation of 4 different blankets from 3 different brands. He's very broad and stocky and when he puts his head down, the neck of his blankets are always really tight against the base of his neck, sometimes causing the velcro to come undone/fold over. Suggestions for blankets for big horses like that? Would lycra sheets underneath his blankets help with friction? It's easier to wash those too. Edited by cavyrunsbarrels 2018-01-29 2:36 PM

Just like not all cuts of jeans work for each person. www.sstack.com has shoulder and wither relief blankets that are very high quality.

It has made a huge difference. https://www.sstack.com/horse-blankets-and-sheets_waterproof-turnout-...

Expert Posts: 5290	We've been in the 80s for the last month here so I just put all my blankets away into storage. I can't remember the brand of mine but they never rub! They have some adjustments to the fronts that allow more movement.

Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	Lycra sheets are amazing and really help bring out a shine to the coat. A full body and if you have use a hood get one that covers the face and neck too
