:My Horse Blankets

Your horse needs a blanket because their natural oils and dirt that keep them warm in the wild are removed each time you brush or curry them. When you clip your horse, you then remove all of the additional warm hair. Most stables are not heated, and it is critical that you compensate for the loss of heat by using some sort of a blanket. A horse will begin to lose weight if not kept warm enough. Of course it is always important to feed more hay in the winter also.

It is usually cheaper to keep your own horse, than to have some one look after your horse. Not everyone has a pasture or field in their back yard. If you know of some one with horses you could approach them and see if there is room for one more. This could cost less than having to board your horse at a stable and or riding facility. If you have no place to keep your horse, you should research stables in your area. Doing some investigation could save you money. Some stables charge a set monthly fee and your horse is taken care of completely. All you have to do is arrive and mount up, after riding you can simply hand your horse over to a groom and go home. This set up is not cheap and not always necessary, so consider how much involvement you would like with your horse at a stable.

Western tack is also known as ‘cowboy tack’. There is a difference in some of the western tack as opposed to, say, English tack. The English, for instance, have different tack to accommodate their different usage and riding styles. Western tack is used more for the purpose of riding the range, in rodeo events, western horse shows, and on western ranches and farms in North and South America.
