The IonX paddock blanket should be applied after the horse has cooled and is in its stall. This blanket furthers the benefits of ionized fabric by continuing the process of increasing the levels of oxygen in the horse’s blood, leading to a more rapid recovery and increased healing. The blanket is made of 16 oz. Yukon Fleece, which offers a wonderful soft feel with the look of wool. This traditional sheet provides maximum freedom of movement and features a reinforced open front with one buckle and strap closure, standard cut neck only, one hidden surcingle and tail piece for a great stay put fit.
