Description
Yukon Freedom Fit blankets are designed as waterproof turnout blankets.
Features include:
Yoke Front, Angular Gusset and Sliding Connectors These patented features make the Yukon Freedom Blanket unique from any other blanket and the market. The features allow you to get a custom fit for your horse’s neck chest and shoulder conformation.
The unique design of the Yukon Blanket also eliminates the movement restriction of the shoulder and chest areas that lead to fur loss and coat rubs.
3 different thicknesses
- Unlined Turnout: Ideal for rainy days or when you want to keep mud off your horse’s body.
- Medium Weight Turnout: 200-gram quilted lining adds a layer of warmth for protection against cold rain and snow.
- Heavy Weight Turnout 400-gram quilted lining adds warmth without restricting movement. Protects against cold temperatures, wind, and snow.
Large Tail Flap Protects against wind whipping under the blanket
Replaceable Rear Leg Straps Adjustable, Non-elastic web leg straps allow for easy replacement if needed. However, with no elastic to stretch out or fray, and heavy-duty stainless steel snaps and D rings, these leg straps should last the life of your blanket.
Single Girth Surcingle Our experience has found that by having a single surcingle right behind the front legs and rear leg straps, the blanket moves more evenly and doesn’t bind or pull the front of the blanket towards the rear of the horse
Colors: Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Hunter Green, Red, Black
Sizes: 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82
Measurement should be taken from the center of the horse's chest, along the side of the ribs to the center of the tail bone.
Yoke Sizes: Narrow Chest (8 - 10"), Regular Chest (11" - 13"), Wide Chest (14" - 17")
Measurement should be taken between the bony points of the shoulders.
Common problems when trying to find a blanket to fit your horse.
Can't Adjust
Most blankets are not adjustable to fit different neck set and chest width of different breeds of horses.
Yukon Blankets Are Adjustable
Yukon Blankets with the patented separate Yoke, allows you to adjust the neck higher or lower by the use of simple stainless steel thumb snaps.
Yokes are available in 3 different widths. Small, Medium, Wide
Loss of Fur
Loss of fur on shoulders and chest are the result of blankets that restricting the natural shoulder movement of the horse:
- Coat Rubs
- Shoulder rubs
- Skin abrasion
Yukon Blankets Allow Freedom of Movement
Yukon Blankets have an exclusive, patented angular gusset that follow the angle of the horses shoulder. This feature allows total freedom of movement for the shoulders. The patented sliding connectors attaching the yoke to the blanket also helps to eliminate any movement restriction horse’s chest and shoulders.
Saggy neck lines are never an issue with Yukon Blankets.
With 4 D rings on the yoke, you can adjust the neckline to the correct fit for
your horse’s neck conformation.
Customer Reviews
These blankets are a game-changer! Check them out at Equine Affair if you're there this weekend!
2 years ago I sent out a call for help for Maverick's blanket rubs!
Shoulder guards made no difference, multiple blanket brands including Smartpak Ultimate still caused them. Mav has a lot of shoulder movement and plays quite rough in the field, but since we typically only get to show in the off season, blankets aren't optional.
Pam, who I had and still do work on Dressage for Mav and myself, had just started designing Yukon Freedom Fit and got tagged in my post. We connected at the 2022 Equine Affair. Maverick ended up with one of the very first prototypes of the Yukon Freedom Fit. It was amazing, within a month his hair was growing back even with him basically living in the medium weight blanket. The rest of that Spring and the following Winter he had that blanket on almost exclusively and no shoulder rubs in sight! The design works! I told Pam as soon as she had them in production I wanted his full blanket set to be Yukon!
If anyone has issues with blanket rubs, shoulders loosing hair, or even simply their horses lack of mobility with other blankets, I reccomend you try Yukon Freedom Fit!
Mav's prototype held up to 2 years of rough (and I mean rearing, biting, and sliding full force into the dirt 🤦♀️ rough) play before needing a small repair where previous blankets often needed mid-season repairs!
