	Winter is approaching and I have never bought a sleazy(Lycra) or a hood for my horses, but I will this year considering I bought a horse that is a little bit higher maintenance lol... Theyvhave good turnout blankets but not sure what else to get! Help,

	Also they have an open barn, but are usually outside... I dont know if it snowed and it got on the Lycra if it would make it worse considering it is wet?

Slinky's hold their hair down tight, which eliminates the innate ability to raise the hair and create natural insulation that horses use to stay warm. Blankets and hoods do too, for the most part, but not as completely as a slinky. At lease a good blanket adds back insualtion and acts as a wind breaker.

It's not my fault I'm perfect Posts: 13739 Location: Where the long tails flow, ND	Get a good turnout with a detachable hood, that is what my horses live in here in ND. Although if you want manes, you will have to take them off regularly so they don't mat. I have these blankets : WB Original 1200D Detach-A-Neck Heavy
