      Hello Conni, unfortunately there Bucas no indication of the water column anywhere. However, we can say from personal experience that the Power Turnout Blanket is absolutely waterproof with proper care. Almost all of our employees use this blanket for their horses. When washing the duvet, please make sure that you do not put the impregnation agent in the machine, otherwise the sweating inside loses its function. It is therefore better to use the ceiling conditioner after normal washing https://www.lepona.de/bucas-decken-conditioner-500ml.html

      Best regards,

    Hello,
    Depending on what I do, I want to invest in 2 covers of thermoregulators Bucas.
    La 1ère serait pour une ponette âgée, qui n'a jamais été couverte mais en raison de son age, a dû porter une couverture.
    Pour mon 2eme poney, it's parfois tondu en hiver (tondu de moitié), depending on the research également and couverture thermoregulatrice Bucas.
    What do you recommend ?
    cordially

      Good morning,
      As we explained in the article, it all depends on the horse's feeling. Uncleared horses usually need a 50 to 100g blanket at the current temperatures. This is where the Bucas Power Turnout Light on. The light version of the Power Turnout horse blanket is suitable for a temperature range of -10 ° C to +16 ° C. The is suitable for shorn or partially sheared horses Version medium. My 11-year-old gelding is also partly clipped (back and kidney area, as well as croup and flanks are not clipped) wears the Power Turnout Medium and gets along well with it.

      A good test is always to put it under the blanket and when the horse is lukewarm, the blanket is thick enough. If the horse is very warm, the blanket is too thick. If the horse is very cold, then it is too thin.

      Horses that freeze tremble just like us humans.

      Best Regards

    Hello dear team of authors,

    The ideal temperature range for the Smarex in the text corresponds to the yellow area in the illustration. Has there been an error or have I misunderstood something? For the other blankets, the green area is always mentioned in the text.

    Regards
    Andrea
