how do you clean silver jewerly? using home solutionsThanx, Kitty
Well first off, horses love to be outside, even in the cold nasty weather! Even a thoroughbred can live outside without a blanket until about -10, providing he is healthy and has shelterI would encourage you to let your horse out more, let him discover what its like to be a horse! But when he is in the stable a stable blanket, with filling if you are meaning a sheet, should be fine, as long as it isnt drafty, then the wind will just whip through the blanketI leave my mare's stable blanket on when she is inside for the night in the winter, (I live in Ontario) and she is fineBut if you are going to get him out more, I would buy a stable blanket and then either a rain sheet or a medium weight to go over topOr you can buy a three in one type of blanket, where you get pretty much every blanket you need.
Aluminium foil, baking soda, and hot waterI line a small pot or cup with aluminium foil shiny side up, add some baking soda, and pour hot waterThen I dive the item to be cleanedDon't use if there are gemstones.
A stable blanket will be okay as long as his stall isn't directly open to the yardIf there's plenty of straw in his stall he'll be okaywhen you put him out make sure he doesn't stay out for too long or he could get very very chilled.
If you want a stable rug why notJust don't put it on if your horse has been out and got wetI have a friend who bought light weight summer sheets large enough to cover the stable blanketTurned them out with the two on and removed the outer rug when they were in.
If you want to get a stable blanket go for itBut you really wouldn't have toI have never put a stable blanket on my horses and were I live in winter it's usually in the teens but does get down in the single digits and negativesSo it's really just a choice.
