Horse Blankets

A good horse blanket earns its keep through a Missouri winter — keeping a clipped horse warm, protecting a horse turned out in wet weather, or taking the edge off for an older horse that feels the cold more than it used to. Waterproof turnout blankets handle rain, sleet, and wind in the pasture, while stable blankets and winter cross trainers work for horses kept in during cold snaps. Nixa Hardware & Seed Co. carries horse blankets suited to the Ozarks climate — match the weight to the temperature range you’re dressing for and your horse’s individual tolerance for cold.
