Temperature Guide to Rugging a Horse

Temperature Guide To Rugging Your Horse

 

What rug to put on is a daily debate at our yard. Is it at yours?

It’s especially tricky with changeable temperatures and conditions. Combined with which rugging is very different for every horse as it depends on breed, weight, climate, his work load, and even their coats themselves. Horses that are used to the colder weather and have spent most of their time outside, tend to cope better with cooler temperatures than horses that are stabled all the time. It also depends on the actual weather, for example - is it just cold or is it cold and raining or even snowing?

Do you need a stable rug to keep him snug and comfortable or a new turnout rug to keep your horse warm and dry out in the field?
