Turnout Rug Excellent Horse Protection
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.
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 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.
These turnout rugs tend to have pretty decent waterproofing features. So you really do not need to focus on that aspect. However, it is always better to go for a rug that has pretty durable water proofing so that you do not have to keep recoating it every season. The next important part is the comfort of the animal wearing these rugs.
Some rugs come in multiple pieces to cover different part of the horse body separately to ensure good movement. If you are purchasing such a rug, you must ensure that the piece of the rug that will cover the entire body is large enough to overlap individual smaller pieces too. This way there will be no exposed part on the horse to affect it adversely.
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.
Horses tend to graze near the fence and trees. The branches and spikes on the fences can shear the rug. So go for rugs that are rip resistant.
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.
