It was amazing in 2010 and equally amazing in 2011. I’m talking about the fever – you know – the Cowgirl Fever Horse Blanket. I’ve written about this most interesting horse blanket twice before and questions keep coming.
After the release of this blanket by Ozark in late summer of 2010, people rushed to get one. In a short time, trendsetters, tack shops and e-commerce sites snapped up all available blankets. A follow-up shipment arrived at Ozark and promptly sold out.
When all is said and done, this Ozark horse blanket isn’t just a blanket or a colorful printed fashion for horses. This is a winter horse blanket turnout that is waterproof, well insulated and durable. It is a horse-clothing item that also happens to be fashionable in a contemporary chic style. The print incorporates the various popular symbols of today including the retro peace sign, a skull, and florals. It is a hardworking winter horse blanket that also happens to be attractive, colorful and trendy.
To quote myself, “This Cowgirl Fever blanket is a fabulous horse turnout. It is well constructed, waterproof, insulated and breathable. It’s longwearing and durable - All these great things about this horse blanket and it’s good looking too.”
This really is a well-constructed turnout. It fits well, can be purchased with an open front or closed front and blocks inclement weather. The horse can move easily due to the generous shoulder gussets and the tail flap keeps out wind and rain on his backside as well. One thing worth noting is that this year, it is also
possible to purchase a ¾ hood in the same design to complete the look and provide almost total coverage.The Cowgirl Fever is outfitted with elastic leg straps and belly strap surcingles that can be replaced without difficulty simply by snapping on a new one. Seems are reinforced and I am getting excellent customer testimonials.
My own store has sold a fair share of these remarkable horse turnouts. In fact, I have shipped them to both Switzerland and France. At this time, I have another shipment going to France to a different customer.
I wish I could state what’s happening with the Cowgirl Fever for the next winter season; I just don’t know. There have been pieces of gossip floating around but, truthfully, I am waiting for accuracy before I’m going to talk about it this time. Even the sales representatives at Ozark cannot state with absolute certainty what is planned at the moment for Cowgirl Fevers.
Meanwhile, if you like the Cowgirl Fever concept, then purchase a horse sheet – it comes with the lively print we have come to enjoy so much, and is bordered in black trim. It is contoured to fit very well and looks smart on the horse.
You know you love it. Go on, get one before they’re all gone again - Perhaps for good this time.
Stay tuned.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)I am laughing out loud, because we went through horse country in Tryon, NC/upstate SC, and several horses were wearing those CF blankets....my husband said "Look at those horses wearing dresses!" I cracked up, and was going to ask you about it, but you wrote it up before I could ask...thanks. Great pic, and great article...the horses look fabulous in those.I love it when I hear about the horses wearing these blankets and where they are located. It is interesting that we have "fashion blankets" for our horses and then, why not? I find the colorful blankets are ever so easy to spot in the pasture or paddocks. At first, I thought I might put all my horses in one color or pattern. But in retrospect, why not color-code them. The eye reads color very quickly and it's easy and almost instant to spot your horse(s). So easy to keep an eye on them and what they're up to. Love your comment and these blankets are colorful. We all know pretty colors make us happy. Teeheehee.
