I rarely blanket when trailering. I was taught that the closer your horse is to "nude", the better for them. They generate alot of heat within the confines of the trailers. Having said that, on the rare occasion when I did blanket I just used a normal cotton stable sheet.

there are no blankets sold specify for trailering. A cotton or fleece one would be fine. If my horse is wearing a blanket outside, he usually wears it if we trailer any wheres as well. Though, keep in mind, we usually don't travel far, 15-20 mins tops, and my horse isn't one to get nervous on the trailer and sweat.

If i was to travel any farther, it would depend on the weather, if it was winter time, i would probably just put on a fleece/cotton/rain sheet instead of his winter one, and in the summer he wouldn't wear anything anyways.

thanks guys, I have only blanketed Bay-Lee once for trailering, the barn owner suggested it because he was nervous..He has come a long way with the trailer, I think he realized that the trailer does not always mean a new owner..:)....I am shopping for a rain sheet, I will use that if I need one for the trailer..
