Time for turnout rugs

Wet fields and cold nights: a good turnout rug keeps your horse dry without making it sweat underneath. Start with 0g or 50g and switch to 100g to 200g when it freezes. Want to get through the whole season with one outer rug? Choose a rug with a liner system and simply swap the inner layer. We ship our best-selling turnout rugs today.

All about horse rugs, by season and by use

Which rug your horse needs depends on the weather, whether your horse is clipped and whether it is stabled or turned out. Below are the main types of rugs with a short explanation, so you can quickly make the right choice.

In the field: turnout and winter rugs

A turnout rug of 0g to 50g keeps an unclipped horse dry in autumn. In frost or if your horse is clipped, choose a winter turnout rug of 100g to 400g. A neck cover also protects the neck against rain and cold.

Liners and under rugs

With under rugs and liners you turn one outer rug into a rug for the whole season. You clip the liner into the outer rug and simply swap the inner layer when it gets colder or warmer.

In the stable and after riding

In the stable, use a stable rug, which is lighter and more breathable than a turnout rug. After riding or washing, your horse dries off quickly under a cooler or fleece rug.

During work

An exercise sheet keeps the muscles warm while walking and cooling down, even in the rain. For the horse walker there are special horse walker rugs, and for extra muscle support choose a therapy rug.

Summer and insects

In spring and summer, fly rugs protect against insects, and fly rugs with waterproof top also keep your horse dry in a shower. For horses with sweet itch there are sweet itch rugs. Also view summer sheets and fly exercise sheets.

Special rugs and maintenance

For competitions you'll find show rugs and for young horses foal rugs. With rug accessories such as wash, reproofer, trigger clips and tail cords, your rug lasts longer. Shop all horse rugs.

Frequently asked questions about horse rugs

About choosing and caring for rugs

Which turnout rug does my horse need in autumn?

For an unclipped horse, a 0g or 50g turnout rug is usually enough in autumn. It keeps out rain and wind without being too warm. If your horse is clipped or the temperature drops below 5 °C, choose 100g to 200g fill.

What is a liner and when do I use one?

A liner is a separate inner layer that you clip into an outer rug. With one turnout rug and three liners (100g, 200g and 300g), you're covered for the whole season. That's cheaper and more practical than three separate rugs, and you only need to wash and reproof one outer rug.

How do I measure the right rug size?

Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side of the horse, to the back of the hindquarters. The length in centimetres is the rug size, for example 195 or 205 cm. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger one.

My rug has torn in the middle of winter, what now?

First check whether a repair is worthwhile: a tear in the outer fabric can often be patched with a repair kit from our rug accessories. If the rug is worn out, we keep the common sizes of our best-selling winter rugs in stock all season.

How do I wash and care for a horse rug?

First brush loose dirt and hair out of the rug. Wash the rug at a low temperature with a special rug wash and do not use fabric softener, as it damages the waterproof coating. Let the rug air-dry and reproof a turnout rug after a few washes.

How do I know if my horse is too warm or too cold?

Feel under the rug behind the withers with your hand. If it's damp or hot there, the rug is too warm. If it feels cool, a heavier rug or liner may be needed. Cold ears alone don't tell you much: the temperature under the rug is the best indicator.
