If you’re planning to update your horse’s wardrobe and put on a horse turnout blanket or rug this season, you’ve come to the right place. The following bumper selection of turnout rugs and blankets includes a horse choice of rug wear to keep your horse protected from the cold and wet weather.
Before you start shopping around, make sure you know your horse turnout rug lingo. A lightweight horse turnout blanket or rug has no filling, or 50g of filling at most. These rugs protect your horse from the wind and rain and are a good option if your horse isn’t clipped, but you want to keep him clean and dry. A medium lite has 100g of filling, making them a good choice of horse turnout rug for those changeable days as they provide warmth, but are still light enough if the temperature rises a little.
A mediumweight horse turnout blanket or rug has between 150g and 220g of filling. This is ideal if your horse is clipped, as it should offer the extra layer of warmth they need to get through the winter. Alternatively, a heavyweight turnout has a 300g filling or more. If your horse feels the cold, is fully clipped and turned out 24/7, this weight rug could be a good option.
