Blankets galore!

Beauty has needed a new set of blankets for a while. Her old blankets were bought when she was four or five, and not done growing or muscling out, so she was a 69". Well, as she matured and got some muscles on dat body, it started to be clear that her blankets were a little short and her bum was hanging out. Her medium was also starting to become a little ragged (Tough-1 is not so tough) - the tail flap had ripped off, one of the belly straps was starting to come undone, the leg straps were long gone... But, being the horse poor college kid that I am, I couldn't afford new blankets, especially two new blankets, when they run upwards of $100 each!

Enter Cyber Monday at my favorite local tack shop! They were having 20% off already marked down blankets, and I was able to score a light sheet and a medium for $50 each!!! And they are good quality, too. They are Saxon brand, which if you ask me, is a diamond in the rough of blankets. Her last sheet was this brand and it has not done me wrong over 3 years. They are cheap, but great quality and super cute! I don't know how they would be for a blanket destroying horse, but for Miss B, who is generally kind to her blankets, they hold up very well!

Unfortunately, the medium was too wide in the shoulders and gaped open on her, so we will have to send it back. Too bad, she looked sharp in it!

But I looooove the sheet. Super cute!

Thank god she chose only snow to roll in
