A horse blanket includes a panel structure with right and left shoulder portions. The shoulder portions of the panel structure are configured to lie upon a horse's shoulders when the blanket is worn by a horse of a size corresponding to the size of the blanket. A withers portion of the panel structure is configured to have a free-standing condition spaced upward out of overlying contact with the horse's withers when the blanket is thus worn by the horse. This avoids chafing of the withers.

Horse blanket with raised withers portion

An article of manufacture and a method of releasably attaching an article of manufacture to extant means in an environment of intended attachment. The environment of intended attachment includes articles of equine saddlery. The article of manufacture comprises at least two surfaces, one of the surfaces further comprising first means whereby the article may be releasably attached to extant means in the environment of intended attachment, the first means comprising generally U-shaped resilient clip means having a first leg, a second leg, and a joint joining the legs, the first leg being secured to said surface of the article, the second leg extending rearwardly and downwardly from the surface and joint, the extant means in the environment comprising outwardly extending bridging means, at least one of the legs of the first means comprising detent means disposed so as to extend towards the other of said legs and in spaced relationship from the joint, whereby the interior space formed between the first and second legs is divided into at least two longitudinal portions extending substantially parallel to said surfaces, such that the portion between the joint and the detent means is of a longitudinal dimension so as to substantially mate with the extant means in the environment while effecting releasable attachment therewith.
