Big D Sussex Medium Turnout Blanket

Blankets with features on their mind. Tailored shoulder gussets are engineered to fit the natural curve of the shoulder. Velcro and double buckle closure reduces sagging and rubs. All seams are double sewn and heat-sealed. Rear darts are tailored instead of?just folded over. Tough 210 Denier taffeta show coat lining limits coat damage while 240 grams of fiber fill provides plenty of warmth. Fleeced wither prevents rubs and the self closing tail flap protects the hindquarters from the wind. Adjustable bias surcingles and removable elastic leg straps reduce blanket movement. Rip-stop, waterproof and breathable exterior is 450 Denier.

Good if you have a horse that it fits.

It seems to be a very good blanket. It is holding up well to a fellow horse pulling on it most of the time! I bought it for my average size Belgian draft in a size 86 (I measured her). The blanket is very nice, however it does not work well for her conformation. She has a large neck so the breast strap is a little tight while the rest of the blanket is slightly on the large side. I forwent the velcro and buckled it as loose as possible to make it a little looser so it is ok, but she can't graze with the top strap buckled. I would not recommend this particular blanket for draft breeds.

This blanket is a good value and is a very nice blanket for my large draft. The only problem is that it is a little tight at the neck and the front straps barely can be buckled. My draft is very large especially thru the shoulders, where it is tight. The belly and leg straps fit great.

This is a really nice blanket for my horse, who lives outside. Fits him perfectly, he's an 84". A couple of other horses at our barn have them and the buckles are really nice and it is very easy and accessible.

Love the Big D blankets. They are usually not recommended for thoroughbreds, but fit all mine great. Never had a tear or problem with them. I have 2 that are years old and then this new one for my new horse.

Might be a bit long for my 14.1 hand pony, but she needed the 72 for her bus length body!

The blanket fits beautifully. However, in the month that I've had it, it has gotten ripped TWICE. It needs to be stronger.

I have used Big D Blankets for decades and have always found them to be excellent fit as well as lasting durability. In Texas during the winter, it gets very cold. The way it covers the hindquarters is great so no wind gets through to freeze my horse.

I love this blanket for my horse! Just the right weight for our California winters. Can't really attest to it's durability since my horse has only worn it for two weeks now. But it appears very well made. I love the velcro along the front opening under the buckles. And I appreciate the webbed keepers for the extra strap length when the buckles are on the tightest closure.
Even better, I know my horse is warm, but he's also not sweating under this blanket.
Many of the other horse owners in my barn also use this blanket, so it came highly recommended.

I liked this blanket so much as I had bought one for my old horse last year. When I got my new horse, there was no question in my mind as far as what I was getting him for a winter blanket.
These fit well, don't shift, keep them warm in our cold NE temps and look brand new after spring cleaning. Well worth the money.
