Protection

200 grams of poly fill inside our Thunder 360 Midweight Turnout provides enough extra warmth for most horses on moderately cold days outside or inside a closed barn on winter nights. A 1680 denier heavy duty outer shell is strong, breathable and waterproof to guard against both the elements and horse antics! A removable neck cover, also filled with 200 grams of poly fill, is included. Head-to-tail protection is further enhanced by a longer drop and an extended and gusseted tail flap. Our Thunder 360 Midweight Turnout is fully lined with a soft poly taffeta lining with added fleece padding at the withers to add a final layer of protection for you horse’s coat.

Durability

The 1680 denier ripstop polyester outer fabric is our toughest turnout, but our Thunder 360 Midweight Turnout blanket has lots of other features designed to stand up to weather and horses! Fray-proof high tensile seat belt quality surcingle with stainless steel hardware stay put and the hardware will withstand mud and snow. Buckle holes are all riveted for longevity and a heavy-duty polypropylene binding adds an extra barrier of protection.

Comfort

Not all horses who wear the same size blanket are the same size, and our Thunder 360 Midweight Turnout was designed with this in mind. It is slightly more generously cut through the shoulder with a front closure that adjusts up to four inches to allow for a customized and comfortable fit. Our neck cover attachment system is just a hook and loop fastener and fabric so there is no metal hardware or snaps against the horse’s neck and withers, especially when laying down or grazing.

Visibility

High visibility top stitch on the binding combined with reflective strips on the tail flap help you see your horse at dusk when the days are shorter. A bit more visibility is provided by the reflective Equinavia horse head logos inside the shoulder gussets.

Blanket Care

Follow these easy steps to safely clean, waterproof and store your blankets for next year.

Step 1: If your blanket is caked with mud or really dirty, gently hose blanket off before washing.

Step 2: If your blanket has a lot of horse hair stuck in lining, you may want to vacuum as much hair as possible out (this is why we prefer smooth nylon lined blankets!)

Step 3: Wash in a FRONT Loader washing machine (do NOT use an agitator style washing machine - the agitator damages the fabric and can permanently ruin the fiber fill insulation).

Use cold water
Use the bulky item cycle if your machine has it
Use the low spin speed cycle
Use a detergent specially made to maintain waterproofing - we use and recommend Rambo Blanket Wash

Step 4: Hang your blankets on a fence to dry (do NOT put in dryer as it will ruin waterproofing and can damage the fabric).

Do NOT Use Agitator Style Washer

Agitators can damage the outer shell of your blanket and compromise the fiber fill distribution. Blanket manufacturers will not honor warranty claims if blanket is washed in an agitator style machine.

Use a Front Loading Machine

If your front loading machine has a bulky cycle, use it. We recommend cold water and a low spin speed.

Hang Blankets on Fence to Dry

Do NOT put your turnout blankets in a dryer. The heat ruins the waterproofing and can damage the outer shell.

Step 5: Once your blankets are clean and dry, now is a good time to see if they are still waterproof. Take a cup of water, and pour over blanket. Water should bead up and roll off, if not, it is time to re-waterproof.

Check for waterproofness and re-waterproof if necessary

Passed Waterproofing Test

We treated this old turnout with Dry Guys Waterproofing.

Step 6 (Optional): Re-waterproof your turnouts. Trust us, do it now, so when it is 35 degrees and pouring next Fall and you need your blanket waterproof, you will be glad you didn't procrastinate! We like Fiebings Water Protector Spray Spray (also comes in a concentrate). Spray your blanket evenly with the Fiebings. Let it dry and do a second coat. One regular bottle does 2 blankets well.

Step 7 (Optional): If your blanket has any nicks or tears, you can repair them easily using Rambo Stormsure and Rambo Rug Repair Kit. You can also replace leg straps and tail cords if they are worn.

Step 8: Store safely for next year. If you have the original blanket bag, you can use it or we also like using the Space Bags. If using a Space Bag, you may want to put the content details on an paper insert (easier to read then writing on bag). Be sure to store in a rodent free area - it would be a big bummer to find a hole chewed in your carefully cleaned and stored blanket!

Trust us, next winter pulling your fresh, clean, waterproof blanket out of its storage bag will be ALMOST as rewarding as buying a new one!
