What is a stable rug?
A stable rug is a rug designed for indoor use, without direct exposure to the elements. Unlike outdoor rugs, they are breathable, soft and comfortable.
In horse-riding facilities, this equipment helps horses recover after work or during rest periods. They are particularly useful in stables where horses work regularly in sport or leisure riding.
stable rug are designed to provide adequate warmth without overheating, while allowing the horse sufficient freedom of movement in the stall.
The different types of stable rugs
In the stable rug category, we mainly find stable rugs designed for prolonged wear. These models come in a range of weights to suit the climatic conditions and specific needs of each horse.
Lightweight rugs are ideal for unshorn horses or well-insulated stables. Thicker models provide extra warmth in winter.
In riding stables, stable shirts are often the most commonly used models. Shirts provide a light, breathable blanket ideal for accompanying the horse after work. Shirts are also highly appreciated in riding facilities for their versatility and ease of use.
It's important to note that fleeces and cooler rugs are not strictly speaking stable rug. They are intended for specific use after exercise or showering.
Completing your stable rug
A stable rug can be complemented by a fleece blanket for occasional use to provide extra warmth. This solution makes it possible to adapt the horse's equipment according to temperature and activity level.
In certain situations, riders also use shirts as an intermediate layer under a warmer blanket. This combination is particularly appreciated when horses are moving from work to a rest phase.

The choice of a stable rug is based on several essential criteria.
Size is essential to ensure a good fit and avoid chafing. Sizes offered by West Cheval range from 3'6 to 7'3, covering ponies and large horses alike.
