Horse Riding Boots: Paddock Boots

Some accessories that evolved with horse riding over the years have become style statements, especially the riding boots. With time, riding boots have also changed. The classic boots for riding were high enough to prevent the direct friction from the saddle, and had robust toe to provide enough protection. The most visually appealing element was the heal. It was high and helped prevent the foot from slipping through stirrup.

The boots based on the function further branched out. A number of different styles became the norm in different situations. For example, hunting boots had the structure running up to knees, protecting legs while riding in dense vegetation-full environment; similarly, for pleasure riding different boots came into existence. Most popular riding boots are Field boots and Paddock boots.

Field boots: As the name suggests, these boots were worn by military field officers. They have laces at the vamp to be accommodating and comfortable to different individuals, who use shorter stirrup for better clearance. They are a standard accessory for hunting and show jumping. However, with design especially suited for riding, they are not applicable to work conditions, making them highly uncomfortable to walk-in.

Paddock boots: Designed to suit pleasure riding and everyday use, paddock boots have great functionality in comparison to other boots that developed over the time, for riding. They are ankle length, have an extra visual outer-layer on the toe and were originally designed to offer better protection. In fashion industry, they have become a rage, worn frequently with jeans and women even wear them with skirts.

Turnout Blankets and Stable Blanket for Horses

A common topic among horse lovers is whether horses need blankets to keep them warm. Many argue horses are naturally conferred with the ability to tolerate harsh cold weather. The counter argument is that the human intervention has changed their natural mechanism. Although the first argument is true to some degree, the counter argument presents better insight. The perpetual breeding, change in habitats, diet, and grooming have produced a set of horses who on their own cannot live through severe winter. They need continuous care from their human friends, including blankets during bad weather, though sometimes, blankets are used for specific purposes, such as keeping horse’s hair short, and to provide an optimum body temperature after a strenuous workout.

However, blankets for horses are divided broadly into turnout and stable blankets. Both types are available at our website, grewalequestrian.com.

Turnout Blankets

As the name suggests, they are worn when horses turn out either for show, pasturing, or ride in severe weather. Different weather demands different blankets, which vary in thickness, fabric, with or without filling, and special patches such as tail cover. The common feature among all types of turnout blankets is durability as they are worn frequently, allowing unfettered movement. To impart this feature in our blankets, we use ballistic weave nylon to manufacture these blankets. Nylon provides great water and wind proofing attributes. A 300-gram fiber insulates horses from adverse winter, still making it light and flexible enough for unhindered movement of horses.

Stable Blankets

The purpose of these blankets is to provide warmness during winter to horses in the closed, regulated environment of a stable. It may seem that any blanket would do the job, however, horse lovers know the sweating pattern of horses and consequences it can have when not managed carefully. Caregivers have to make sure that stable blankets allow moisture vapor to wick away from horse. We have made sure that our specially designed blankets serve this purpose. Our blankets are durable; as they are doubly sewn at stress points and additional reinforcement are put into the design.

Blankets for Horses to Endure Winters

Although evolution has bestowed horses with a natural insulating mechanism to withstand winter, they still need care from humans to live healthily during this period. Winter chills bring deadly respiratory infection with it; out of those, most common is pneumonia. The best way to protect your colt against these weather-specific diseases is to provide cozy horse blankets.

The blanket retains body heat and repels chills with its stress-points double sewn fabric with additional reinforcement, which helps prevent tears. A 300 gram fiber fill makes sure the insulation is optimum. For better fit, it has adjustable leg straps and double strap front.
