What Is A Horse Blanket?
Some people like to collect horse blankets and use them as decoration around their home. The western décor is a popular one, especially in some areas of California, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Colorado. Although not limited to these areas, the horse blanket has reached high levels of popularity.
If you have ever been to a rodeo, you are sure to have seen a horse blanket. It's all part of the western charm of the rodeo. Maybe you aren't a rodeo fan, but just love horses. You may be a horse racing fan, own a farm, or just have a horse for a pet. You don't have to own a horse to own a horse blanket.
Horse blankets are often sold in tourist attractions across the United States. Along the route from Texas to California, you can find horse blankets in the tourist stores along the interstate. Almost any farm clothing store will carry horse blankets to sell. Some hardware stores stock a few. There are those made in Mexico, for sale to the tourists who want to take home a warm or decorative memento of their travels. You can find them at stores or flea markets held on Indian reservations. You may be lucky enough to pick some up at garage sales.
Some like to scatter them around their home for use as throws to keep them warm as they watch television or a movie in their living room or den. They can be quite attractive tossed over the couch or favorite recliner. You can even use them as curtains or throw one on your bed to complete your room! Do you have an unsightly mess you wish to cover? Put that horse blanket to use! Give an old one to the kids to play with, for use with their outdoor picnics to spread on the ground for a nap, or to arrange their toys for a pretend farm scene.
A horse blanket can be carried in the car to use on long trips. It can cover your stained seats, your valuables bought along the way as you make trips to shop or visit the tourist attractions, or to keep you warm if your heater is on the blink!
Horse blankets are made of sturdy, durable materials and are long-lasting. There are blankets made of softer materials that just have a horse's picture on it and not for actual use on a horse. It would probably be a stretch to even call it a horse blanket.
