FINDING THE RIGHT RUG FOR YOUR HORSE

Horse rugs are a must for any stable, because a good quality and well-fitted rug ensures that your horse remains healthy and in peak condition, while being safe and comfortable.

Our range includes winter rugs to keep your horses protected from the cold, rainy days in the paddock, and summer rugs to offer protection from the sun and insects. Horse blankets for all seasons are also available, providing year round coverage for your horses. We haven't forgotten the ponies with smaller sized rugs available in most styles.

TYPES OF HORSE RUGS AND ACCESSORIES

There are many different types of rugs, and they all have different uses. To help decide which is the right one for you, here is a list of rug types and a range of popular accessories.

WINTER RUGS

Keep your horses extra warm in winter, with layers of padding, thermal insulation and windproof outer layers. Our range of cold-weather winter rugs is sure to keep your horse safe and comfortable through those chilly winter nights and windy days.

SUMMER RUGS

The Aussie extremes of heat in summer can be extremely uncomfortable - and sometimes dangerous - for animals. Light and breathable, our summer rugs will provide your horse with comfort and protection through the hot summer days.

ALL SEASON RUGS

These handy all-rounders offer year-round protection. Our all season horse rugs and canvas horse ripstop rugs are popular amongst horse owners, providing strong, natural, breathable and affordable fabrics that have many advantages over more modern synthetic fabrics.

HORSE NECK RUGS

Horse neck rugs offer additional protection around the vulnerable neck area of your horse, alleviating the impact of extreme temperatures and minimising irritation from bugs and insects. They can be easily added when your horse needs extra warmth or weather protection.

HORSE HOODS

Horse hoods cover the head just above the muzzle, with openings for the eyes and ears. Summer hoods with light, breathable material keep your horse cool and protected from insects. In winter, a heavier horse hood can provide warmth and protection from wind, rain and cold.

HORSE TAIL BAGS

Ensure that your horse’s tail stays sleek, tangle-free and smooth. Horse tail bags keep your horse's tail clean and free of dust and debris from the paddock, and this will encourage healthy growth. Keeping your horse’s tail neat and tidy means less grooming time for you.

SAFETY TIPS

• Well-fitted rugs allow for the horse’s hair to stand up as a warmth reflex
• Check rugs daily to ensure straps are not broken, as this can be dangerous
• Horse rugs should be removed regularly to prevent chafing and water leaks
• Rugged horses must be groomed frequently to remove built up skin and hair
• Horses wearing hoods must be checked regularly to ensure that eyesight is not impaired
