The Extreme Turnout Blanket continues this tradition, combining innovative materials, thoughtful design, and uncompromising craftsmanship to ensure your horse’s wellbeing.

Extreme Warmth for Freezing Temperatures

The 5/A Baker® Extreme Turnout Blanket is built to keep your horse warm even in the coldest conditions, with a 555-gram polyfill insulation that provides exceptional thermal protection. This heavyweight insulation ensures that your horse remains comfortable and warm, even when temperatures dip down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Whether your horse is turned out during a chilly winter day or standing in a wind-swept paddock at night, this blanket offers maximum warmth and coverage.

This blanket is ideal for colder climates, ensuring that horses with thinner coats or those that have been clipped are fully protected from the cold. The insulation provides a consistent layer of warmth, which is essential for maintaining your horse’s health and comfort during extreme weather.

Durable Outer Shell Built to Last

A turnout blanket’s durability is essential, especially when used in tough weather conditions and during active turnout. The 5/A Baker® Extreme Turnout Blanket is constructed from an incredibly strong 2,100-denier polyester ripstop fabric, which is one of the toughest materials available for horse blankets. This high-denier fabric is designed to resist tears, scratches, and abrasions, making it perfect for horses that enjoy rolling, running, or engaging in playful behavior while turned out.

In addition to its durability, the outer shell is treated with DuPont Teflon fabric protector, which adds stain and dirt resistance. This helps the blanket maintain its appearance, even after days of muddy turnout or exposure to harsh weather conditions. With this turnout blanket, you won’t need to worry about frequent repairs or replacements—the Extreme Turnout Blanket is built to last.

Waterproof and Breathable for Ultimate Comfort

Even in freezing weather, moisture from rain, snow, or your horse’s own sweat can lead to discomfort and cold stress. To prevent this, the 5/A Baker® Extreme Turnout Blanket features a 3,000mm waterproof rating, which ensures that no water penetrates the outer layer of the blanket. Whether it’s raining, snowing, or sleeting, this waterproof membrane acts as an impenetrable barrier against moisture, keeping your horse dry and protected.

At the same time, the blanket remains highly breathable with a 3,000 MVP breathability rating, allowing moisture from perspiration to escape. This is especially important for horses that are active during turnout—while they may exert energy and generate body heat, the breathable membrane prevents sweat from accumulating underneath the blanket, reducing the risk of overheating or discomfort.

Thoughtfully Designed for Maximum Comfort

Comfort and fit are critical when selecting a turnout blanket, and the 5/A Baker® Extreme Turnout Blanket is designed with your horse’s comfort in mind. The blanket features gusseted shoulders, which provide ample room for natural movement. Whether your horse is running, rolling, or grazing, these gussets allow for full freedom of movement without restriction.

-The contoured rump and tail flap offer additional protection for your horse’s hindquarters, keeping the area shielded from wind, rain, and snow. The fleece padding at the withers adds a soft layer of protection, reducing the risk of rubbing or irritation in this sensitive area.

-The surcingle system includes 2" nylon black crossed surcingles with elastic and stainless steel hardware, which ensures a secure and adjustable fit. These surcingles keep the blanket firmly in place, even during active turnout, while still allowing for flexibility. The detachable and adjustable 1" black elastic leg straps further secure the blanket, preventing it from shifting or slipping during movement.

-The front closure is designed for easy adjustment, with two 1" nylon front straps with grommets and buckles that provide a snug, custom fit across the chest. The reinforced front panel includes a 2-inch Velcro “stay put” feature, which helps ensure that the front straps remain secure and the blanket stays in place throughout the day.

Practical Features for All-Day Wear

The 5/A Baker® Extreme Turnout Blanket includes several practical features that enhance its usability and performance in everyday turnout situations. One of the standout features is the blanket’s 4 rectangular loops, which allow for the easy attachment of a neck cover. This provides added flexibility and versatility, as you can increase your horse’s coverage by adding a neck cover when additional protection is needed.

In terms of maintenance, the 5/A Baker® Extreme Turnout Blanket is designed to be easy to clean and care for. The blanket is machine washable—simply wash it on a cold, gentle cycle with non-chlorine bleach as needed, and then drip dry. This ensures that the blanket remains in excellent condition, season after season, even with frequent use.
