This waterproof LED exercise rug was developed specifically for moments when standard reflective material is no longer sufficient. It makes you and your horse actively visible—white light to the front and red signal light to the rear—significantly increasing safety in traffic. At the same time, it reliably protects against rain and wind without weighing the horse down or restricting movement. The combination of 0 g filling, breathable ripstop material, and a soft fleece lining ensures a comfortable climate during movement, while the EasyOn system allows the lighting to be controlled directly from the saddle. An exercise rug for riders who want to stay safe, visible, and in control even in poor weather and low-light conditions.
 

• EasyOn – easily accessible from the saddle: If dusk sets in suddenly or you need your lighting, there’s no need to stop or dismount. The button is located right behind the saddle and is always easy to reach, allowing you to activate the lighting quickly and effortlessly without interrupting your ride. This way, you can stay focused on riding while remaining safe and visible with no extra effort.

• LED lighting – visible and safe in traffic: The blanket features white LED lighting at the front, ensuring clear visibility and enhancing the visibility of both rider and horse in low-light conditions. The red LED light at the back improves visibility from behind and serves as a signal for approaching vehicles. Both lights comply with road traffic regulations and contribute to increased safety, especially at dusk or in the dark.

• With a long-lasting Eremit battery – power that won’t fade: Thanks to its high energy efficiency, the battery provides reliable and long-lasting performance that won’t let you down, even on extended rides. Unlike conventional power banks, which can pose risks such as overheating or even fire hazards due to intensive use or improper charging, the Eremit battery ensures safe charging and stable usage. The included charging cable allows for gentle recharging, extending the battery's lifespan—even if the charging process takes a bit longer. This safe and steady charging guarantees that you can always rely on consistent lighting without worrying about the battery or its performance.

• 1200D Ripstop – maximum strength, long-lasting protection: This material, with its special weave structure, is particularly tear-resistant and durable. It provides excellent protection against external influences such as rain, wind, and dirt, while remaining long-lasting and easy to care for. Even with intensive use, the material stands up to the challenge, keeping your horse reliably protected.

• 0g filling – protects without adding weight: It ensures that the horse stays perfectly temperature-regulated during training or movement, without adding extra weight or heat. This filling allows for maximum freedom of movement and comfort while also providing protection from external elements.

• 5,000 mm Waterproof Rating – reliable even in heavy rain: This high level of water resistance means that even during prolonged heavy rain, no water penetrates – keeping your horse dry. Compared to conventional blankets, the ISO-certified 5,000 mm waterproof rating offers significantly higher resistance to rain, ideal for prolonged bad weather or damp conditions.

• Breathable – moisture escapes for comfortable wear: With an ISO-certified breathability of 3,000 g/m², this blanket ensures optimal moisture regulation. Its high breathability allows sweat and excess heat to escape effectively, keeping your horse dry and comfortably tempered. Perfect for active horses or variable weather.

• Fleece on the inside – cozy on the inside, protected on the outside: It keeps the muscles warm during relaxed walking rounds in the field, promoting circulation. After training or an intense ride, the blanket’s high breathability effectively wicks moisture and excess heat away, allowing your horse to dry quickly and feel comfortable. The fleece not only maintains a pleasant temperature but also supports natural moisture transport.

• Elastic closure at the chest – perfect for unrestricted movement: It adapts to the horse’s natural movement and stays securely in place even during fast or intense movements. This ensures a comfortable fit while optimizing support. The elastic closure provides the perfect balance of comfort and security, allowing your horse to move freely and unhindered.

• Reflective Elements – better visibility for more safety: The blanket’s trim is made from reflective material, increasing your horse’s visibility and safety. This ensures your horse is easily recognizable from any angle, even at dusk or in the dark.

• Individually adjustable at the withers – adaptable to every body shape: This allows the blanket to be easily and quickly adjusted to different body shapes without compromising freedom of movement. The hook-and-loop fastener ensures a secure fit and prevents slipping, even during intense movements. This guarantees that the blanket stays in place while providing your horse with maximum comfort.

• Activation – connect and light up: To activate the lighting, two cables need to be connected: one is located at the chest closure of the blanket, and the other is integrated into the blanket itself. Both cables are cleverly hidden behind a zipper, protecting them from dirt and moisture.

Did you know… In many countries, including Germany, horses are considered road users? In low light or poor visibility, drivers and other road users may not recognize a horse and rider until it’s too late, especially if there is no adequate lighting or reflectors. Poor visibility can lead to dangerous situations and accidents. As a rider, it’s your responsibility to ensure that both your horse and other road users are protected. With our waterproof LED riding blanket, you help minimize the risk of accidents and injuries.
 

FAQ for the "New York" Riding Blanket:

Innovation

• How does the EasyOn system work?
  The EasyOn system allows you to control the lighting conveniently from the saddle. The switch is located directly behind the saddle, so you can activate the lights anytime without having to dismount or stop.

Material

• Is the riding blanket waterproof?
  Yes, the riding blanket has a water column of 5,000 mm, making it ISO certified and highly waterproof. It reliably protects your horse from heavy rain.

• What does "1200D Ripstop" mean and why is it important?
  1200D refers to the strength and fabric of the blanket. It indicates the material density of the fabric, with "D" standing for Denier, a unit of measurement for fiber thickness. Ripstop describes a special weaving technique in which reinforced fibers are woven into a grid pattern. This structure prevents small tears from spreading, making the blanket more durable and resistant to damage. These features are particularly important to ensure the blanket remains long-lasting and resilient, even under heavy use, such as in pasture conditions or for horses that are very active.

• Is a water column of 5,000 mm sufficient for continuous rain?
  Yes, a water column of 5,000 mm is absolutely sufficient for prolonged rain. A water column indicates how much water pressure per square meter the fabric can withstand before it starts to leak. With 5,000 mm, the blanket reliably protects against heavy and persistent rain. In practice, this means that the blanket remains highly water-repellent even during intense rainfall, keeping your horse dry.

• How is breathability ensured?
  The breathability of our blankets is ensured by the Ripstop fabric used, which has a permeability of 3,000 g/m². This allows moisture and heat to escape from the horse, while simultaneously keeping external moisture out. Therefore, it is important that rain sheets do not have a water column higher than 5,000 mm. A higher water column would impair breathability, causing the horse to sweat quickly under the blanket.

• What does 3000 g/m² breathability mean?
  This specification describes how effectively moisture (e.g., sweat) is transported through the material to the outside, ensuring a comfortable climate for the horse. In this case, 3000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the material within a day. This keeps the horse dry and prevents overheating or moisture buildup.

• What does ISO certified mean?
  An ISO certification for a horse blanket means that the product meets certain international standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This certification ensures that the horse blankets have been tested in various areas such as quality, safety, and environmental impact. For rain sheets, this could mean that the material is waterproof and breathable, the blanket has passed specific durability tests, and the production methods are environmentally friendly. An ISO certification provides customers with the assurance that the rain blanket is not only functional but also sustainable and of high quality.

• Can moisture or heat accumulate under the blanket?
  Thanks to the high breathability of our blankets and the Ripstop fabric technology used, moisture and heat cannot build up under the blanket. The blanket allows for effective ventilation, so excess heat and moisture are released, while rain and moisture stay outside. This keeps your horse dry and comfortable without causing any uncomfortable heat buildup under the blanket.
