When does my horse need a stable rug?

Often, thestable rugsare also equipped with a wicking function, offering a combination of a sweat rug and a stable rug.Horse blanketsfor the stable are also useful if there is a draft in the stable. Astable rugis also recommended for older and sick horses.
Stable rugs are made for the following uses:
- Stables
- Horse transporters
- Trailers
Stable rugsare made from lightweight materials to provide maximum comfort and can be worn for extended periods. They are therefore only suitable for enclosed areas and consequently have no impregnation to protect them from moisture.
These are the different weight classes and fillings for horses
Stable rugs are available in various thicknesses and weight classes. How heavy a horse blanket is depends on the material and the padding.
Lightweight stable rugs between 100 and 200g
Very lightweight horse blankets have a net weight of 100 to 200g. From our manufacturerKentucky Horsewearwe offer a stable rug with 100g fiber filling. Thanks to their robust workmanship and very easy-care materials, the manufacturer promises that the 900D ripstop polyester stable rugs are an investment for decades. The lighterhorse rugsare well suited for unshorn horses that only need a small warmth booster.
Medium stable rugs between 200 and 300g
Also from Kentucky Horsewear, you can buy slightly heavierstable rugswith a 200g fiber filling or horse blankets with a 300g filling. These horse blankets are particularly well suited for use in winter, as they provide more warmth than the lighter versions. These stable rugs are also a good choice for shorn horses.
Some manufacturers such asBucasalso offer combined outdoor and stable rugs. The Quilt Silk Feel rug has a weight of 300g and can also be used as an under blanket for outdoor use.
Heavy stable rugs with 400 and 500g weight
The heavier the stable rug, the warmer it is. Kentucky Horsewear also offers corresponding variants here. The ribbed fabric of the 400g stable rug makes it difficult for animals to bite into the blanket and pull it off their bodies. In addition, the fabric prevents shavings from sticking to it.

You can also buy stable rugs with an extra warm fur trim. The fur in the neck area provides an additional warming layer on sensitive body parts. You can buy stable rugs with fur, for example, from ourmanufacturer Eskadron.
