Turnout Rug The Best Horse Safety
Horses are great animals that love to roam free in the farms and open grasslands. In cold conditions and rainy climate, every owner wants to protect the horse so that it does not get affected be the weather. In such cases, the best solution is to get your horse a good turnout rug. This rug will not only protect your horse in rains but also in cold wintery conditions too.
There are different grades of these rugs available which you can choose depending on your needs. There are the heavy weight rugs that have over 0.3kg filling to keep the horse warm in real cold wintery conditions. The medium grade rugs have between 0.15 to 0.3kg filling and the lightweight ones have up to 0.15kg filling. The lighter grades are good for summer and to protect against rains while the medium is for cool conditions. So depending on the weather in your area you can choose one of these.
If you live up north where you get everything from rains to real cold and dark winters, you would need different set of rugs for each season. This is not practical as you really cannot invest in multiple rugs. An good alternative in that case is to purchase under rugs. These are not as expensive as your turnout rugs and when used with a lightweight rug can serve as a heavyweight rug too. Just add as many layers of these under rugs are your feel necessary and cover them with a lightweight rug.
It is vital that the rug you pick comes with good waterproof solution. Typically, the turnout rug water proofing are quite durable and you do not have to keep renewing it regularly. Another important aspect is the comfort that the rug offers the horse. Since, you will be fastening the rug to the horse, you do not want to restrict its movements in the effort to keep it warm.
If you are using multi piece models, you need to wrap the neck and hind quarters of the horse with separate pieces. In that case, take special care that the main large part of the rug covers all the parts properly. There should be no gaps between the three pieces, else the entire purpose of the rug is defeated.
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 conclusion, turnout rug is great accessories to have if you own horses. They are great for all weathers. They can protect your horse in rain as well as winters. A well select rug will give your horse the freedom to roam out in your farm all year round.
