The Rider's Hug blankets are great for horses that are hard to fit, wide in the neck and shoulders, and for horses with rubbing issues. Super neat front closure is a panel that ultimately closes up on the neck with a buckle, that can be adjusted for a wider neck opening. Here's the heavy weight as an example:

The Hug line is currently on sale because Dover is closing out the current model to bring in a newer design/colors/whatever next season. There's a heavy blanket, a turnout sheet, a stable sheet, and a stable blanket currently on the line. My hope is that a medium weight comes into existence sooner rather than later.

Can you tell I just left work? I had a customer today ask me every little detail about these blankets. I almost had to ask a supervisor to pull it so I could take a look at it. Thankfully she let up after I told her what I just told you!

What size blanket is he?

Full fit is great too, FWIW, if you want to go to stick with Dover products! :D

I had a Hug blanket for my mare, who was a TB and the exact opposite of drafty. When she died, her blanket went to a Belgian cross, and it fits him just fine too. (And it's lasted for at least three full years now.) The Hugs are awesome--I hope they're still around when I finish grad school, get a real job, and can afford a horse again!
