I am SO happy with my blanket purchase. It has made such a difference with my horse. He has anhidrosis and respiratory issues during the summer here in South FL. I typically have to hose him down for 15-20 minutes straight to get his breathing back to a normal rate. When I use the blanket, I just have to give him a quick hose and can let the blanket do the rest. It is also great option for cooling him down and not soaking his hooves with water every few hours.
