Before

Don't be afraid that your blanket is too dirty. We get blankets caked with Virginia red clay, dirt, and other unmentionables! Our washing machines are tough and can handle it all.

After

You can hardly tell it is the same blanket, but we guarantee you it is. Getting baked on dirt and grime off blankets is critical to their longevity. No blanket is too dirty to bring back to life.

Laundering

At Luckyhorse, we use industrial washing machines designed to handle the size and heavy dirt load of horse blankets. Our process ensures a thorough, deep clean without damaging the fabric.

What do we wash with?

We use sodium percarbonate, an oxidizing agent that’s completely safe for both humans and horses. You’ll also find it in everyday products like toothpaste and body care items.

How does it work?

When mixed with water, sodium percarbonate breaks down into hydrogen peroxide—great for tackling tough stains—and sodium carbonate (also known as washing soda or soda ash), which effectively breaks down oily residues thanks to its alkaline nature.

Is it safe and fragrance free?

Yes! Sodium percarbonate is fragrance-free and leaves no residues behind, even in the many layers of batting and fabric found in horse blankets. This makes it a safe option for horses with the most sensitive skin.

Can you wash my dog bed?

Absolutely! We can clean dog beds, covers, and just about anything else you’d rather not put through your home machine.

Water Repellant

Horse blankets are treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish when they’re first made. This helps water bead up and roll off. However, over time, factors like dirt, abrasion, UV rays, age, use, and material can reduce the effectiveness of this finish. To keep your blanket performing at its best, it’s important to care for or reapply the DWR regularly.

How does Luckyhorse re-waterproof blankets?

We use a Durable Water Repellent finish designed to be applied to wet blankets and set with low heat during the drying cycle. Our DWR product meets all current safety and environmental regulations, giving you peace of mind.

Does washing my blanket remove the waterproofing?

Actually, it’s the opposite! Washing your blanket helps remove dirt and debris that can interfere with the DWR finish. To reactivate the waterproofing, it’s essential to apply low heat during drying.

How do I know if my blanket needs waterproofing?

Simply sprinkle some water on the It’s simple—just sprinkle some water on the blanket’s surface.

If the water beads up and slides off, your blanket is good to go!

If the water soaks in and darkens the fabric, it’s time to reapply the waterproof finish.

How Often Should I Re-Waterproof?

Luckyhorse recommends re-waterproofing at least every other season for medium to light use. If your horse is always blanketed, we recommend re-waterproofing every season.

Blanket Repairs

Let’s face it—horses can do a number on their blankets! At Luckyhorse, we’ve seen a lot, but we never claim to have seen it all. The good news? We can repair just about anything you bring our way.

Our goal is to extend the life and water repellency of your blanket as long as possible. We’ll always repair exterior holes, but sometimes we choose to leave liner tears untouched if they don’t affect the blanket’s performance.

Sewing Machines

Our repairs are built to last because we use industrial-sized sewing machines designed to handle even the thickest and fluffiest blankets. These machines are originally made for sewing sailboat sails and leather, so they’re more than capable of tackling horse blankets. The strong, durable stitches ensure long-lasting results.

Thread

Blankets are an investment, and we want to help them last as long as possible. That’s why we use bonded polyester thread that resists UV damage and daily wear and tear. Your blanket will stay strong through sun, dirt, and whatever else your horse gets into.

Hardware and Webbing

Don’t count your blanket lost just because a surcingle or strap is damaged! Luckyhorse has surcingles, snap hooks, slides, and D-rings to replace any missing, bent, or broken hardware. We use bonded polyester webbing to withstand dry rot, sun, and dirt, so your repairs hold up over time.

Leg Straps and Butt Straps

Need replacements? We can replace leg and butt straps, too! Want a few extras to keep on hand? Just let us know, and we’ll add them to your invoice.
