Choosing the right horse rug is essential for keeping your horse comfortable, protected, and performing at its best. With so many different rug styles available, it can sometimes be difficult to know which one is right for your horse and the conditions they’re in.
At Newmarket Saddlery, we stock a wide range of horse rugs designed to suit Australian conditions and different horse needs.
Types of Horse Rugs
Summer Rugs
Summer rugs are lightweight and designed to protect your horse from flies, insects, and sun exposure while still allowing airflow to keep them cool.
Winter Rugs
Winter rugs provide insulation and warmth during colder months. They are typically waterproof and lined to help your horse stay dry and comfortable during wet weather.
Stable Rugs
Stable rugs are designed for indoor use when your horse is in the stable. They provide warmth without the waterproof outer layer used for outdoor rugs.
Choosing the Right Fit
A well-fitting rug is important to ensure your horse remains comfortable and avoids rubbing or irritation. When selecting a rug, make sure it fits snugly across the chest and shoulders without restricting movement.
If you’re unsure about sizing or which rug is best for your horse, our team at Newmarket Saddlery is always happy to help.
