The best show rugs for horses are versatile. Not only do they need to keep your horse looking clean and smart, but as your horse is likely to be standing around between classes, a good show rug should keep him warm on a chilly day and help him cool down on a warm day – breathable and wicking properties are essential here.

The best show rugs can also be used for travelling, which means you only need one rug all day, saving you from packing a full wardrobe. You’ll be thankful for the simple fastenings that feature on most show rugs, too, tack when you’re rushing to your next class and your horse is slightly more on his toes than normal.
