It's that time of year when "blanket pattern baldness" will appear on your horse or pony. Hairless patches develop on the shoulders, withers, tail, and other areas where he moves. The ultimate solution is a better fitting blanket, perhaps with a different cut, but there are some temporary fixes to the problem you can use before going shopping.
Sew think fleece on the inside of the blanket on the "rub" areas. You can also put a tight fitting lycra "underwear" that covers the rub zones. With these fixes, you will prevent further damage to the hair follicles that can result in discoloration or permanent hair loss.
