Well I'm glad we can help! Sometimes I wish we had consistently cold weather so we could just buy a MW or HW, leave it on, and be done with it! I bet a 100gm would be perfect for what you need, too.

I'll keep an eye out for them in the future

Since i have a $150 credit at Dover, I'd really like to use that for the blanket.

I know you want to use your Dover credit -- but for the future RockHorseRanch on here sells the EOUS blankets and they are actually really amazing for the price!!

I've been eying the Eous blankets for a while, but I haven't seen any that have the fill I need! And most seem to be 600D. I love the colors and the fit though

Not sure where you are looking... they are mostly 1680D now.

Two of my HW blankets are Eous. My old man's is a 1680D, but I think the one I have for Cayenne is 900D.

They are great blankets, so if you move somewhere colder they're a great bet.

I know this may sound crazy, but I think some brands denier is heavier then others. One of my friends just bought a Centaur sheet that's 1200d, and it feels thinner then by new Amigo that's 600d.

I also wouldn't recommend an Centaur. There are a pain in the behind trying to fit. There's a small tack store near my house that carries them, and I tried on 4 of them and never found one that actually fit.

Shannon, I love your blanket threads! I've been following each one, because our horses are so similarily built! So what I think fits Maraiah will most likely fit Torreau & "Nasty Wench Mare" aka Nitha well too. Only difference between us is I need a 200g fill & you need a 100g fill

So here are my thoughts for blankets based what everone has said (thank you everyone!

Now can anyone tell me now true to size the those brands (centaur, eous & weatherbeata) fit??

It seems like the Centaurs are a no go...They have the Rider's International in 200gm too

Personally I love the look of the Madrid blanket but I don't know how the Eous fit.

Weatherbeetas definitely run big, so I would be buying a 78 for Mariah who is somewhere between a 79 and 80. They normally recommend you go down a size, though I think they come in 3" increments so I'm not sure I would order a 78 for an 81 inch horse

^^ I was just thinking Centaur no-go......I just read the one review.....if it rubs an "average built horses shoulders" it'll rub my guys REALLY bad! the have HUGE shoulders & there's lots of movement up there.....so ya it's out.

Good to know about the Weahterbeeta's -- I wrote down size 75" to buy for Torreau, since he's a 78" when measured.

I was looking for a 200g Riders International and couldn't find one on Dover. I mean I can't order from there anyways, but at least it gives me a price compairison for when I head to the Royal and do all my shopping......

COrrection: found the Riders International blankets at Dover -- there's 3 possibilities from that company -- so how do they fit??
