How it works

Enter a location, get a blanket recommendation, and save thresholds only if you want them. The app compares your horse's feels-like temperature against your thresholds and applies the rain adjustment when precipitation chances are high.

Current setup: Light <= 54°F, Medium <= 44°F, Heavy <= 34°F, rain rule 25% / -10°F.

Weather source: OpenWeather with Open-Meteo cross-check (alert if difference >= 4°F).
