Where can I get a blanket washed?

[DQ2B]

I thought I had seen an add for a local tack or harness shop that cleaned horse blankets. Anyone know where I can have this done?

I've used Snowflake in the past, 301-253-9115. You can mail the blanket or she can add you to her pickup route. She did a great job repairing the lining of a t/o sheet. It came back clean and re-waterproofed. Reasonable rates too. Or you can always find a commercial front load washer, use white vinegar in the final rinse to get rid of any soap residue.

every morning I pass a feild of horses, my question is why do some of the horses have blankets and some dont. I would think if one needs a blanket, they all would.

Owner preference, they're really fine without. Though some get clipped and need blanketing to stay warm.

Thanks, I was just wondering. Glad to know they DONT all need them.

I have a simple philosophy concerning blanketing. If I put on my coat and go out to work with the horses and I'm comfortable, the horses will be comfortable without their blankets. If I put on my coat and go out to work with the horses and I'm still cold, the horses will be cold. However, Fredsaid is right. A clipped horse will probably need a blanket. Also, some owners will blanket below a certain temperature period. I also have a horse with Cushings who gets extra "fuzzy" in the winter and most days would be too with a blanket. In fact, he's not the happiest camper today but we don't want to clip him until we're relatively certain the weather is going to stay warm. Poor horses, they're so at our mercy.

blanket wash

I take my horse blankets to the Charlotte Hall Laundry Mat and wash them in the large washer.
