Winter blanket help? (best answer!)?

Okay so this is my first horse and I have never had to purchase a winter blanket beforeSo I have some questions:1What gram fill should I get? Temperatures here in winter range from 20 degrees (F) to 40 degrees (F), and my horse will be outside for the whole day, but she will come into her stall at night.2Does she need to be blanketed at night, even though she will be in a stall?3I know theres like different deniers or whateverMy horse doesn't really run around a play in the paddock, so what kind should I get? I know they make like 600D and 1200D, but I don't know what one to getThanks! :)

Answer:

Not worth itI bought a set and every one of them leaksThey only stay flat for a couple of days, then air gets in them and the stuff you have in them is the same size as before you sucked the air outThe way they package them creates breaks in the plastic which allows air leakageDon't waste your money.
Mostly they leak, in my experience, and then you've got stuff stuck as it expands.
Get a 200 gram rug with a removable neck rug ( can have neck rug off on warmer days) and a 350 gram combo for outdoor rugsA lightweight is also good for if it's raining, but not really coldFor indoor a fleece a 200 gram indoor and a 350 gram indoorNeck rugs optional .
