Abstract
An adjustment device for modifying the front of a horse blanket prevents the blanket from rubbing off hair and causing sores on the horse's shoulders and withers. The adjustment tabs are formed by sewing a first strip of hook and loop connecting material on each side of the outer facing of the blanket on a line positioned diagonally between the center of the chest and the top of the wither. A second strip of mating hook and loop connecting material is connected to the first strip. It passes through a rectangular loop and attaches back to the first strip. By pulling the second strip through the loop any desired amount, a pleat is formed in the blanket on each side of the horse on the slope of the shoulder approximately halfway between the point of the shoulder and the wither. The necessary overlap of material is confined high on the slope of the shoulder in an area that is relatively immobile and with an area of the blanket that is not subjected to significant strain, thus preventing the blanket from rubbing off hair and causing sores on the horse's shoulders and withers.
