I come from Wyoming... it would depend on how much you blanket your horse overall (during the summer etc., or only during the winter months)..but that being said... I'm not sure how 'cold' you get (we have a dry climate here so it's different.... but in my opinion I'd use a light-weight one vs. the medium. I only blanket when ours are locked in a pen and the weather is awful and only use the medium-weight. I bought a really nice mid-weight for my daugther at college and he's hardly needed it...but we've yet to get into our 'cold' yet. *if your older horse stuggles with 'weight' himself (i.e. needs extra food-stuffs) I'd go with the medium. hope that helps you :/ I come from Wyoming... it would depend on how much you blanket your horse overall (during the summer etc., or only during the winter months)..but that being said...

It depends upon what you mean by "nicer days". Up here in Minnesota, a nice day is still zero degrees in the winter. Check the information on the blankets. They should show a range of temps. I believe light weight blankets are good in the 40's-50's, midweights in the 30's-40's for most manufacturers. The description of the blanket should include a temp range. That would be the best gauge of which type you need.

It's primary purpose is to clean synthetic jackets and other garments, so I don't really think it's appropriate for horse blankets. If its made out of a material such as wool and you want to use a "gentle" but effective cleaning agent I would recommend Woolite.

My wife loves it..she says light to medium weight but warm. We live in Maine and she has really enjoyed. She didn't use it in the summer as it was too warm. Hope this helps and good luck.

By my standards is about medium weight. its not heavy or anything but it does keep me warm without me overheating. It light enough to breath. I really like it.

Your little girl will love it. I put a nice warm and soft blanket in mine. I wish you the best. Thanks for loving animals.

It's pretty heavy so I recommend a commercial grade reel. http://www.amazon.com/Commercial-Grade-In-Ground-Pool-Solar/dp/B003K1AESO/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1400548015&sr=8-10&keywords=solar+blanket+reel

I think you could. The fabric is a very nice, thick, quality fabric. If it turns out to be a little light or chilly, you could always put a light blanket within.

Its been a while since I bought this, but 30lbs seems like a lot. The blanket doesn't weigh much, so shouldn't be near 30lbs.

I would say medium weight. We have been very pleased with it and it still looks good. I have not washed it but I did run it thru the dryer once.

There is a bottom made of light canvas. I just put a blanket down for my dog.

Pack some tar line. The tar line has a break strength in the area of 300#, but is light and ties easily. The thickest has 400+ feet on a roll but only weighs a pound. Get here or at sporting goods stores. Might not have it in the Northern states, it may be more of a southern catfishing thing for trot lines, but I

All season light weight. We use it year round and don't have to change out multiple blankets to fit the temp. Love it.

My Oyuki bedding comfort set is better for summer because it is very light, in the winter you would need to use a heavy blanket

If you want a light weight comforter, I would recommend synthetic. As far as goose down goes it is a good weight, it breaths well, it will keep you warm, but you won't overheat.

It is a medium thickness fleecy soft blanket. I use it coupled with other blankets during the winter, but by itself during spring and summer. So as long its not super hot I think it would be fine.

It is EXTREMELY light - weighs less than a blanket. My daughter likes it - it keeps her warm enough, but does not suffocate her.

i have a medium weight comforter and for me i find it too warm for the spring and fall. try a lightr wieght that would probably work out best.
