Horse rugs
Horse rug manufacturers are constantly innovating and introducing new features and types of rugs to cater for horse and owner needs. So whether you are looking for a turnout, stable, cooler or travel rug, this is the place to find out about the latest new rugs being released.
Rugs have come a long way from the heavy jute and canvas New Zealand rugs of yesteryear. Now rugs are highly breathable, light and easy to use. A vast range of different weights and thickness are available allowing owners to adjust their horses’ warmth to keep them comfortable in all types of weather.
