Turnout Rug Give Your Horse Safety And Freedom
Horses are great animals that carry themselves with pride and grace. No wonder that many people attach special significance of owning and riding these wonderful animals. They need a lot of free open space to roam and that is true in cooler and wetter climates too. So how do you protect the horses during such seasons? Turnout rug is your solution : they can protect in cold winters and also in wet rains.
When you go out looking for the perfect rug for your dearest horse, you will encounter multiple weight rugs, so which one would you choose. The idea is very simple. All the rugs are classified as heavy weight, medium weight and lightweight rugs. The weight is determined by the amount of filling in these rugs. Obviously, heavy ones have the most filling and provide the best protection in cold weather. The medium and light weights can be good for less severe weather and all are great for rains.
If the seasonal changes are quite drastic, then a single rug will not solve your problem. In that case, you can look at using layers to suit the weather. What you could do is purchase a good quality lightweight rug and some blankets or under rugs. If it starts to get too cold, just cover the horse with under rugs: more than one if necessary and finally to protect from the weather and wetness, cover it with the lightweight rug. That will solve the problem in extreme cold conditions. In summer rain, just use the lightweight rug and it will work just fine.
The important thing in any rug is its waterproof feature and comfort. All rugs tend to have long lasting water proof coating, so you really do not have to re coat the rug every year. The comfort part is really important. Some of the rugs are designed in parts to allow maximum freedom for the horse to move. Some others use frills to provide that extra space.
To address the comfort aspect, some rugs are designed in multiple pieces. There are separate pieces for the neck, hind legs and one large piece covering the rest of the body. If you are looking at this option, make sure that the large piece of the rug is large enough to overlap with the smaller pieces. The ultimate aim is that horse is covered completely without any gaps.
With the single unit rugs, you must ensure that they fit in properly on the horse. It should not restrain the horse or it would not enjoy the warmth the rug is supposed to provide. These must go well below the belly for real good protection in all weather.
Once of things that owners have problem with using rugs is that they get torn when the horse grazes near the barbed fence or tree branch. Now a days there are rugs that are rip resistant and you should prefer those over regular rugs. They will not shear due to barb wires and last longer.
In summary, you can give your horse good protection and freedom to roam for all 12 months with the turnout rug. Just wrap the rug on the horse and let it out in the open lawn or farm to enjoy.
