I don't normally blanket either, but if the weather is bad at a ride, I
would like to get Sunny dry and warm without all that heat buildup. The
best I've found is the Gore-Tex HIB sheet made by Classic Cover-ups. 
They also make a blanket.  They are not cheap.  ABout $229 for the
blanket, $205 for the sheet.  However, they are almost impossible to rip
and the horse dries quickly without being chilled.  I have been VERY
pleased with my sheet, which is what I recommend unless you live in the
great frozen north. If you have ever owned a Gore-Tex jacket, you know
how windproof and waterproof they are.

They have an Ad in Equus this month....Page 72.  Think you can order
direct by calling (610)932-9400.  Perhaps they will send you literaure. 

It's sorta like saddles....you can spend lots of money trying various
ones or custom order one you KNOW works.
