Which Blanket Should I Choose?

I am looking for a blanket for my horseI am just not to familiar with BlanketsI am just looking for a blanket I can through on her when I put her in her stallNothing that is too warmJust something that she can have on that is comfortable and wont make her over heat! I am just don't know much about blanketsThen also I am looking for a blanket for when I put one of my horses out in the turn outSomething to put on her after she worked outwhen she is all sweatyI am not sure if I should get a fly sheet or whatAlso where would I get any of these blankets? Thanks so much!

Answer:

Can't go wrong with a Weatherbeeta (brand)If you want to blanket your horse, you'll need a light-weight turnout blanket, medium-weight turnout blanket, and a heavy-weight turnout blanketYou could also use a cotton sheet If it's winter and she gets sweaty, a wool cooler is what you should buyIf you blanket her, she won't get as hairy, so cooling her down in the winter won't be as difficultKeep in mind that you can't just let the horse be naked until it's 0 out and then throw a heavy blanket on them-if they're going to wear a blanket at all, it has to be all winter long.
After a few years of memorizing all the organic chemistry without actually understanding it, I took ionic organic chemistry which was a graduate level courseIt basically allowed you to look at any set of chemicals and figure out what was likely to reactIt was actually easier than memorizing all the reactionI don't know if that is helpful besides saying there is a light at the end of the tunnelYou can tell from the relative proclivity (searching for a word) of a particular groups to give up electronsIt does have to do with the electronegativies but it is more about how free the electron pairs are able to move from atom to atomYou need to have groups or atoms that can take electrons when there are electrons to giveYou have to think about it from the point of view of certain groups attracting electrons that might make it easier for another group to form a bond thereIt was quite a while ago when I took the courseI only knew it as ionic organic chemistryIt would be worth looking into because you seem to have anticipated it.
