Hello,
Next month I am leaving my 19 year old dressage gelding at the trainers for three months and I’ll be quite some distance away. We live in Michigan, and a case of EPM seems to have damaged his thermoregulatory system, thankfully, this is most of the damage. However, this means that if it’s below 55 and cloudy/windy/rainy he shivers and his muscles become tense and stiff. He already has a back up mid-weight (1 Amigo and 1 Northwind). Even the best blankets at this barn have been leaking with the rain/snow mix. I figured to make the BM’s and Trainers job easier I should invest in an “worse case” mid-weight, so they don’t have to deal with layering liners and sheets. Any recommendations on cheaper, waterproof mid-weights? He’s always at the top of the pecking order so durability isn’t a concern. I’ve looked at Mio’s and Rider’s Internationals but am unsure. I’d rather not spend more that $100. As far as fit, he’s a well muscled warmblood with a large chest and neck.
Thank you in advance!
