Because horse blankets aren’t cheap, knowing how to effectively repair them can save you hundreds of dollars. If you’re on the road or trail and need a quick, immediate fix for a blanket tear, try one of the following:
–      For small tears to Polyester blankets, use a cigarette lighter to melt small holes and frays. But be sure to use common sense and take the blanket OFF your horse before attempting.
–      Duct Tape! It will hold a torn blanket together until you are able to better repair it.
–      For larger tears and holes, use an iron-on or denim patch (available at discount department stores)
