I put this blanket on my horse for the first time for 20mins, normally would fight with him to get him to warm up for a good 20 mins before he would really begin to work well for me. After the first time using the EMT Breezy Blanket my horse was warmed up and relaxed in the first 5 mins on riding him, he rounded much better, held himself easier and was just unbelievable in the difference in his attitude!! He was much more willing!! I would definatley recomend this rug to anyone!!!
