Stable Rugs

Stable rugs can be an essential part of the stabled horse's wardrobe - especially if he is clipped. Stable rugs offer the horse extra warmth whilst stabled over the winter and colder months. Stable rugs have warm, insulating fillings to help keep out the chill, and are breathable to help the horse better regulate his temperature. Stable rugs have durable outers to protect against the general stresses of stable life, however these rugs are not waterproof and not suitable for turnout. Whilst some people opt to use stable rugs as under rugs for turnout rugs, this is not recommended - it is much better to use the correct weight turnout for the conditions or to use a specific under-rug to give a better fit and prevent the rug slipping, causing discomfort and rubbing.

Stable rugs come in different weights, from lightweight at around 100g, ideal for milder weather or hardier types, through to super heavyweight at around 550g, ideal for the finer, fully clipped horse. They are also available in standard neck or full/combo neck designs for horses who require extra warmth and protection.
