When you're looking into buying a horse rug, the range available can seem quite daunting, especially if you have not owned a horse for long.
The idea behind a horse rug or a horse blanket is to keep your animal warm and cozy when the temperature starts to dip, and protect it from the wind and rain. There are various designs of horse rug, but the idea behind all of them is the same - keeping your animal happy and in the best possible condition.
Comfort is a big factor when it comes to choosing the right horse rug and you need to make sure it fits the animal properly. There are a huge range of colours and styles on the market making your choice even more difficult, but the main thing to get right is the type of horse rug you need. A lightweight blanket will be of no use to an animal in October when temperatures drop and the rain comes.
Below is a selection of the types of rugs available and the uses they have.
Anti-sweat rugs can be made from a cotton or nylon mesh and are used by horse owners to keep their animal from cooling down too quickly and getting a chill after a period of exercise. They are light enough to allow the animal's body to breathe and can protect your horse from insects, while other anti-sweat rugs can offer protection from the sun.
New Zealand rugs are usually heavy turnout rugs made from a waterproof, thick canvas material which is designed to keep the horse warm as well as dry when it is outside in the winter months. These rugs are designed to be strong and durable and can be re-treated to maintain performance.
Fleece rugs are very versatile and can be used in a number of situations. On their own they can make a great stable or travel rug, keeping your horse warm and comfortable at all times. Alternatively they can make the perfect under blanket, for use underneath another rug in order to provide that extra bit of warmth. A soft fleece rug can also be used to prevent rubbing when a horse needs to wear a heavy coat in the winter months.
Equestrian clothing can be expensive, so before spending your money on horse rugs make sure you do plenty of research and ask the advice of experts. It's also wise to check online as you can make some considerable savings on the high street price.
