?I have found you need at least 1000 +denier to stay waterproof and last. I find the "Oricans" by Weatherbeeta a good deal -often on sale. I have gotten some as low as 59-69$ for? funky colors or off season specials.?

?And the Dover 1000 denier" Internationals" hold up well and? not to? $$
???? These have held up and the horses stayed dry underneath in? 2-3 day constant rain in Ga.?

?And I have put them on wet horses in a pinch---if you stuff some hay up on their withers and along their back , it holds the blanket up enough they can dry with it on. Has? always worked ..
? Or of course you can put a fleece cooler/sheet underneath,and it will wick the water off under the sheet.
