The time is fast approaching for the weather to turn cool again, so it is a smart idea to check that any clothing that your horse will need is clean, repaired, and ready for Fall use. As most of you (hopefully) already know, Saddlers Row offers blanket and sheet laundry and repair services year-round. Just to give a quick run-down of the details:

Blanket laundering prices are $15 for sheets (this is a ONE LAYER sheet ONLY!! Turn out sheets with two layers or other multi-layer sheets count as “blankets,” even if they are technically considered “turn out sheets” or whatnot) and $18 for blankets. Blankets are machine washed in large capacity front-load washers and are air-dried hanging on racks with fans aimed to speed the process along a bit. We can also waterproof your turn out sheets and turn out blankets (sorry, we cannot waterproof your stable sheet!) for an additional $18.

Along with laundering we also offer blanket repair services. Holes can be sewn or patched, straps can be repaired or replaced if necessary (best efforts are made to match the appearance of all blanket parts), and buckles can also be replaced, so don’t despair if your horse has done some damage! Prices vary based on the type or amount of work done on the blanket. Serious repair efforts take some time, so the length of your blanket’s stay with us may be increased a little bit, as well. Turn-around time for blankets in for wash/repair has typically been 10-14 days, although that can vary based on time of year and amount of staffing that we have allocated to the blankets.

*As a side note: If you bring in an item for repair is MUST be laundered, also! We cannot patch a hole or replace a strap on a dirty blanket as it would ruin our machinery and then we would not be able to fix anyone else’s blankets.*

Blankets are returned to you clean and folded, each in a clear plastic zip-up case for easy storage and identification when it is time to get them out and use them again.

We accept blanket drop offs seven days a week, so get anything that might be in need of washing or repair in to us soon, so that you can be prepared for any sudden drops in temperature – Fall is almost here! Until next time…
