horse blanket

Equine warmth layer

A horse blanket is a large covering placed over a horse's body for warmth or protection from weather.

The blanket typically fastens around the chest and under the belly.

Figuratively, horse blanket describes anything oversized or cumbersome: That newspaper is a real horse blanket.
