How to choose

Weight

Lightweight rugs are for mid-season; heavier ones are for cold winters. The choice depends on climate, clipping, and the horse's condition.

Waterproofing

Outdoor rugs have a technical waterproof layer; stable rugs do not. Using a stable rug in the pasture during rain is counterproductive.

Fit

A well-sized rug covers from the wither to the tail without rubbing; it's advisable to check for rub marks daily.
