Material fails quickly

“Material fails quickly”

We own 6 of these blankets, and loved the initial quality. As each of our other manufacturers blankets failed over time, we would replaced them with these blankets.
We now own 6 of these bought over a 3 year period. We had a strap shear last year and presumed it must have got hung up in a fence or tree limb, it was sheared clean across, almost like a scissor cut. This year four more straps on 3 blankets sheared in the same way. We took all the blankets to a repair center that specializes in horse blanket repairs. They said they had seen a number of this make of blanket exhibit the same problem from all over. They also drew our attention to the hem of the blankets which were also all fraying!
The so called 3 year warranty is worthless, it is solely a "waterproof and breathable guarantee".
We are switching our allegiance away from this brand, it has let us down and left us with a hefty replacement bill.
