Keep Your Newest Arrival Warm Without the Guesswork

Those first few weeks are when foals need the most help regulating their body temperature — especially in drafty barns or during early spring cold snaps. The Weaver Leather Foal Blanket 420D gives your newborn or growing foal just the right amount of warmth for stall comfort, without the bulk or risk of overheating that comes with heavier turnout rugs. It's designed specifically for indoor use, where breathability and gentle contact with delicate skin matter most.

Built with adjustable closures that expand as your foal hits those weekly growth spurts, this stable blanket keeps them snug from birth through weaning. The smooth nylon lining won't rub tender "baby coat" hair, and the medium-weight poly-fill provides consistent warmth without trapping excess heat. From the breeding shed to the sales ring, this is the blanket breeders reach for when a clean, flat coat and reliable temperature control are non-negotiable.

Why Breeders Choose the Weaver Leather Foal Blanket

• Adjustable fit through rapid growth stages — Touch-tape front closures and long belly surcingles let you size up without buying multiple blankets in the first months.
• Gentle nylon lining protects delicate skin — Smooth interior prevents rubbing and keeps hair laying flat and shiny for inspections, sales prep, or Keurings.
• Medium-weight warmth without overheating risk — Poly-fill insulation provides essential thermoregulation for newborns in stalled environments, preventing hypothermia without excess bulk.
• Breathable 420D outer shell for stall durability — Tough enough to handle bedding and stall activity, yet breathable enough to keep your foal comfortable overnight.
• Prevents sun-bleaching and thick winter coats — Keeps foals clean and show-ready, ensuring they look their best for weaning sales or breed inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this blanket waterproof for turnout?

No, the Weaver Leather Foal Blanket 420D is a stable blanket designed for indoor use or very limited turnout in dry weather only. The 420D material is breathable but not waterproof, so it's best suited for stall comfort rather than extended outdoor exposure.

Q: How do I measure my foal to get the right size?

Measure from the center of the chest, around the side of the body, to the center of the tail — this gives you the most accurate foal blanket size. This blanket is built with adjustable closures to help bridge the gap as your foal grows quickly in those first weeks and months.

Q: Can I use this on a brand-new foal right after birth?

Yes, this blanket is frequently used for neonatal care to help newborns regulate their temperature in drafty barns or during cold snaps. The medium-weight poly-fill provides essential warmth without the risk of overheating in a stalled environment.
