Brand new to the Whitaker range is the Vivid R037 Stable Rug. With a bright, royal blue turnout hind cover and blazing yellow pipe, this stand-out rug is perfect for injecting colour into the grey winter months. The double chest and belly surcingles help to keep the rug in place, while the tall shoulder gusset doesn’t restrict movement and the 300g fill is perfect for cold winter nights.

The bestselling JW1925 Union Jack Stable Rug is perfect for sub-zero weather and features an impressive 450g fill, with double surcingles across the chest and belly and a padded tail guard.

Combined with the matching JW1925H hood (sold separately), this rug is the perfect defence against even the coldest of winters.
If 450g is too heavy for your needs, this rug is also available in 300g fill.
