Many winter blankets are on sale during the summer months, and you can often find the best selection before sizes begin disappearing in the fall. We're especially big fans of WeatherBeeta blankets for their durability and fit, and they're one of the brands participating in the Ride It Forward program.   Plan ahead now, thank yourself in December.   When you shop through our Ride It Forward link, a portion of qualifying purchases supports Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue at no extra cost.   ![](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t1c/1/16/1f6d2.png) Shop here: [https://www.statelinetack.com/s/gentle-spirit](https://www.statelinetack.com/s/gentle-spirit?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demo0e0e2s7k&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExN0lNUGMxME9qMzlrUmthRHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5V8fMQpikw13G84hYhhhHsnvWWt_LHVCvh7W7hj-cIdiX_jmeO6likFUJI2A_aem_Cc4m9pd6D1pz8CojUblJHQ)   [#StatelineSaturday](https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/statelinesaturday?__cft__[0]=AZaS9BldtZLW-pR3OFFchsx4RsbSyBhsrO93lgpT5voibpMuYNZaz_pQXjPlL1pHy9-qQg67xx-cv-9zkYGres4v_y9wxQhX_Y_9Xv1pEPNGuD0pl0Pe5v9H4kz-WbEmAbiC84IoEjjFb0z5IN0cKZMi&__tn__=*NK-R) [#WinterDreams](https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/winterdreams?__cft__[0]=AZaS9BldtZLW-pR3OFFchsx4RsbSyBhsrO93lgpT5voibpMuYNZaz_pQXjPlL1pHy9-qQg67xx-cv-9zkYGres4v_y9wxQhX_Y_9Xv1pEPNGuD0pl0Pe5v9H4kz-WbEmAbiC84IoEjjFb0z5IN0cKZMi&__tn__=*NK-R) [![gentle_white](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/hs-fs/hubfs/gentle_white.png?width=240&height=135&name=gentle_white.png "gentle_white")](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/) Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue 29571 419th Ave Scotland, SD 57059 Email: [info@gentlespirithorses.org](mailto:info@gentlespirithorses.org) - [The Horses](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/horses) - [Our Programs](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/programs) - Support - [Articles & Updates](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/blog) - [About](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/about) [![homesforhorsescoalition-1-1](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/hs-fs/hubfs/homesforhorsescoalition-1-1.png?width=200&height=100&name=homesforhorsescoalition-1-1.png "homesforhorsescoalition-1-1")](https://homesforhorses.org/) [![](https://widgets.guidestar.org/TransparencySeal/9336389)](https://www.guidestar.org/profile/shared/f1cd717a-7607-4928-aef1-e60548010247) Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization, sheltering horses since 2010.
