FAQs

What is the purpose of a blanket on a horse?

A horse blanket provides essential protection and comfort to horses by helping regulate their body temperature, especially during colder months. The blanket shields them from harsh weather conditions such as wind, rain, and snow and keeps their coats clean and dry whilst also allowing breathability to allow for changes in the weather. Additionally, the blankets protect the horses from flies in the summer months.

When should horses be blanketed?

Horses should be blanketed during cold weather or when they lack adequate body conditions to keep warm. The decision to blanket a horse depends on several factors, including access to forage, breed, whether the horse is clipped or not, age, and location (e.g., more exposed areas). These factors, along with the outdoor temperature, determine the need for a blanket. To check if a horse needs a blanket, feel its lion to see if it is cold or warm. If it feels cold, a blanket should be considered.

What is the blanket you put on a horse called?

The blanket you put on a horse is called a horse or blanket. Turnout rugs are designed for outdoor use and offer weatherproof protection, while stable blankets keep horses warm and comfortable in the stable.

What size horse rug do I need?

To determine the right size horse rug, measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point just before the tail starts. This measurement, usually in inches or centimetres, minus 10cm or 4 inches, will correspond to the rug size you need. Proper fit is crucial to ensure the horse's comfort and prevent chafing or movement restriction. To learn more, visit our blog post on how to ensure your horse blanket fits.

Which horse rug is best to protect against horseflies?

A fly sheet and a fly mask is the best horse combination to protect against flies and insects flys. Fly sheets are made from lightweight, breathable mesh that covers the horse's body, providing a physical barrier against flies and other biting insects.
