Buying a horse rug can be a minefield. There are so many different types of horse rugs which serve different purposes, which can be confusing.

We have put this mini horse rug guide together, so you can buy the right sheet or rug and keep your favourite member of your family happy.

Cooler Rugs, Fleeces & Sheets

Cooler Rugs prevent your sweating horse from getting a chill as they cool down, they are also breathable.

Fleeces or Fleece Rugs do a similar job as a cooler rug but can also be used as a under rug, light stable rug or a travel rug.

Stable Sheets are a very light rug, which will keep your horse happy and clean in the stable.
