How to remove a horse blanket while moving?
Hey people,
It's very cold in North Rhine-Westphalia at the moment (down to -15 degrees Celsius), which is why we bought a 100g blanket for our Shetland pony, who has nowhere to shelter from all sides. However, I don't know anything about blankets and wanted to ask how I should handle the blanket when lunging or doing other work. It can't just stay on. Should I just take it off and get going, or how do you do it?
Thank you for your answers! 🙂

So I’ll just say you:-)
Do you have a sweat blanket?
If so do the blanket before the training on it and make the pony warm (step and bit of tramp)
When it’s made warm, you pull the blanket off and at the end you pull it up again and leave it on until it cools. Then you can cover again
Yeah, that’s what it looks like – when you’re covered, you don’t look like a blanket. Never.
Yes perfect one we have 🙂
That’s why you have different blankets. The stable/outdoor blanket comes off and you then either make a renal blanket on it or when the horse has run warm enough without.
So, the blanket should definitely be removed. The pony gets warm at work. This is not a problem.
A Shetty with a blanket? Where did you get the nonsense?
The “nonsense” comes that there are minus 15 to 20 degrees… plus snow/icestorms. Unfortunately, the ponies have only one roof but no protection from the sides and are therefore completely unprotected. I don’t think you should justify yourself, but I just do it anyway. You don’t know if the pony is sworn or sick. Just because it is a Shetty does not mean that it must not have a blanket if it requires the circumstances.
The weather makes a Shetty nix. If it’s gone, you’re, you’re said, you owe yourself. And I wouldn’t put a sick animal out if there was only one roof. Bzw generally no horse. Substation with protection from the three sides is a must.
As I said, our at present wears a blanket for the sake of the circumstances, and then nobody else has to do something 🙂
My question was not whether my Shetty needs a blanket;)
