At the latest by the end of the season, the question comes up: wash your horse blanket yourself, or have it professionally washed and repaired? Both have their place – here’s some help deciding.
Why your home washing machine hits its limits
Household washing machines are usually too small for horse blankets: the drum volume isn’t enough for a truly thorough rinse, and standard detergents attack the waterproof coating. The result: the blanket looks cleaner, but loses its water resistance – exactly what you need come winter.
When is the professional service worth it?
- The blanket is heavily soiled or smells after a long season
- The membrane or waterproof coating needs preserving or renewing
- Tears, broken buckles or worn leg straps need repairing
- You have several blankets to get winter-ready at once
How our wash and repair service works

Before & After
Even heavily worn blankets can often be saved with the right repair technique – saving on replacements and resources.
The Bottom Line
For quick care in between, brushing off and air-drying is enough. But once it comes to thorough cleaning, waterproofing or repairs, the professional service pays off – precisely because it preserves the membrane and water resistance.
