What should I look for in a raincoat?

Keep That Horse Dry

If you're short on ideas for unique horse gifts, why not pick a gift that will keep that equine warm and dry! Horse raincoats are useful and smart gifts that any horse nut will appreciate.
Horse raincoats come in two main styles. The first style is made from a waterproof material (it looks like a turnout sheet) and it is used in the pen or pasture. The second type covers the entire horse and is a little cooler on the animal.

When shopping for a turnout rain sheet, look for one that is durable and can withstand wear. Keep in mind that horses are clever and like to chew and tear. Also, be sure that it is both waterproof a breathable—you don't want to overheat the animal. Additionally. Keep in mind that a good rain sheet will have sealed seams that will not be destroyed in poor weather conditions.
