Tracy's Equine Blanket Services was founded by Tracy Groeneweg in 1984. Tracy started this business as a previous horse owner. Our office is located in Duvall, WA. Tracy's Equine Blanket Services is family owned and operated by Avonna Small (Tracy's daughter) and Loni Owens-Tracy.
Here at Tracy's Equine Blanket Services we have been caring for horse blankets for 25 years. We only use the best biodegradeable environmentally products available to wash and care for your horse blankets. These products contain no artificial fragrances or dyes. We cold water wash and line dry all horse blankets. We do not put turnout blankets into driers. Many times, driers will ruin the polypropylene in many turnouts. We ensure we will care for your blankets to the highest level possible. If we ruin or loose your blankets we will replace them. This very rarely happens. Tracy started that policy in 1984 and it still stands.
To clean a blanket, it goes through a six stage process. We do our cleansing and disinfecting in very large specialized commercial washing machines. These machines help to aid in the quality and function of your horse blankets. Multiple agitations and rinse cycles are key to cleaning your horse blankets properly.
The horse blankets drip dry for 24-36 hours after cleaning. We highly advise you to send us your blankets regularly. Ammonia (NH4) is acidic and over time can degrade the fabrics and make is easier for your horse to tear the blanket.
The number one worse thing you can do for your blankets is store them for the summer without having them cleaned. Heat activates the ammonia in the urine and creates permanent stains on the blanket. This also makes the fabric weaker.
