Outdoor horse rugs are essential equipment for protecting your horse from the elements, cold and damp when he's in the paddock or meadow. There are different types of blankets to suit the seasons, lifestyle and specific needs of each horse. Whether it's a waterproof rug, a rain cover or a more technical model, the choice should always be carefully considered.
Our online saddlery offers a complete selection of horse rugs from brands renowned for their reliability and technical expertise.
What type of outdoor rug should I choose for my horse?
Waterproof and rainRug
Waterproof rugs are ideal for protecting your horse from rain, wind and humidity. This type of blanket is made from hard-wearing technical fabrics, while remaining breathable to guarantee your horse's comfort over time. Brands such as Equithème offer reliable, durable models, perfectly suited to daily use in the meadow or paddock.
Lightweight or weightlessRug
Lightweight rugs are particularly suitable for mid-season or unshorn horses. This type of protection protects the horse from the elements without causing overheating when temperatures remain moderate. These blankets are often used in spring or autumn, when weather conditions are changeable.
Rugwith neck or high neck
Blankets with a neckline, especially high-neck models, offer extra protection around the withers and neckline. This type of cut limits water and wind infiltration, while ensuring greater blanket stability. High-neck models are particularly suitable for horses living outdoors for long periods or sensitive to climatic variations.
How to choose the ideal outdoor rug for your horse?
Size and cut
Choosing the right size is essential to guarantee your horse's comfort. Each brand can cut differently, and each type of rug has its own specific cutting characteristics. Size guides are available on each product sheet to help you select the most suitable size. If in doubt, our customer service team is on hand to answer all your questions and help you make the right choice.
Weight by type of use
Weight determines the level of warmth provided by the blanket. This type of criterion must be chosen according to the season, the horse's clipping schedule and its environment. Blankets without weight are suitable for mild temperatures, while warmer models are recommended for winter use.
Materials and resistance
The technical fabrics used for outdoor rugs must offer excellent resistance to rubbing and tearing, while remaining breathable. This type of design guarantees comfortable, long-lasting wear, even during prolonged outdoor use.
