"Hi on behalf of expertvillage.com, I'm Shelly at AA Callister at Salt Lake City, Utah and I want to show you how to get the best turnout blanket for your money. Now there are three things you want to consider when purchasing a turnout blanket. One is going to be the outer covering. The outer covering is very important on a turnout blanket because that is going to tell you whether that is water resistant, waterproof, windproof. That is what is going to come about by the outer layer of the turnout blanket. Inside the turnout blanket next to the horse's skin, we have a lining that is right next to the horse's skin. This one has a soft nylon lining. We will go into lining in a minute but this is right next to the horse's skin. In between the lining and the outer covering, is the insulation. We will go into insulation a little bit later also. But those are going to be three things to consider when purchasing a turnout blanket so that you know if you are getting the most blanket for your buck and if you have purchased something that is going to be right for your elements and your climate and your horse."
