Horse rugs
Horse rug manufacturers are constantly innovating and introducing new features and types of rugs to cater for horse and owner needs. So whether you are looking for a turnout, stable, cooler or travel rug, this is the place to find out about the latest new rugs being released.
Rugs have come a long way from the heavy jute and canvas New Zealand rugs of yesteryear. Now rugs are highly breathable, light and easy to use. A vast range of different weights and thickness are available allowing owners to adjust their horses’ warmth to keep them comfortable in all types of weather. The development of fly rugs for the summer months have made many horses’ lives more bearable during the horse-fly season.
