A HORSE BLANKET ALLOWING FOR FREER MOVEMENT OF A HORSE IN USE

摘要

A horse blanket (10) of the type which is secured under the belly (24) of a horse in use and the edge (23) of which falls below the line of the point of elbow (25) is provided with means, such as cut-outs (14; 15) allowing lengthwise extension of the blanket (10) when the horse extends its legs (26; 27), respectively and which prevent gathering of the blanket (10) between the inner leg and the body of the horse during a reverse movement of the legs (26; 27). The blanket (10) is conformable to the contours of the body of the horse and prevents the likelihood of friction-related injuries caused by wearing the blanket due to minimal contact between the material of the blanket and the body of the horse.
