| Senior Member  | *winter blankets...* Montana is 64 inches long measured from middle of chest to butt... he has a pretty wide chest and as he is 3 he is going to grow a lot 'out' if you know what i mean... what size winter blanket should i get... i thought 66" because hes still growing and broad chested... what do you think? |

| Senior Member+  | I think you'd be safe to go with a 66. What kind are you getting?

| Senior Moderator  | A 66 shouldn't hurt, but if you get 2 big then they have a problem keeping it on. |

| Senior Moderator | Has your horse ever been blanketed? If not I would go with something cheap until he learns to not try to rub them off. |

| Senior Member+ | I would go for a WeatherBetta Turnout blanket. You can keep it on while he's stabled and while turned out. I can give you some webites that have pretty good deals on WeatherBetta blankets if you want...

| Senior Moderator | If you want to do something cheap, light, and waterproof I like my stormbuster blanket, it has a belly wrap that velcros (I am a big fan of velco, it so much faster). My only complaint is the color fades pretty fast. |
