Frequently Asked Questions
What weight rug does my horse need?
Rug weight depends on temperature, your horse's clip, and their natural coat. As a guide: 0g for mild weather above 15°C, 100-200g for 10-15°C, and 300-400g for below 10°C with a clipped horse. Adjust based on your horse's individual needs and your local climate.
How do I measure my horse for a rug?
Measure from the centre of the chest, around the side of the body, to the point of the buttock. This measurement in inches or centimetres corresponds to the rug size. Always check each brand's sizing guide, as sizing can vary between manufacturers.
What is the difference between a turnout rug and a stable rug?
Turnout rugs are waterproof and designed for outdoor paddock use, with durable outer shells that resist rain and mud. Stable rugs are not waterproof and are designed for indoor use, providing warmth without the need for weatherproofing. Some horses need both types.
How do I care for my horse rugs?
Brush off dried mud regularly, spot clean as needed, and do a thorough wash at the end of each season. Many rugs can be machine washed on a gentle cycle or professionally cleaned. Re-proof waterproof rugs annually to maintain their water resistance. Store rugs clean and dry.
Does my horse need a fly sheet in Australia?
In most Australian climates, a fly sheet is highly beneficial during summer to protect against flies, mosquitoes, and UV rays. They can significantly reduce insect-related irritation and sunburn, particularly for light-coloured horses. Look for breathable, UV-protective options.
Do you ship horse rugs Australia-wide?
Yes — all horse rugs and accessories ship from our Australian warehouse with fast, tracked delivery to every state and territory. Orders over $249 ship free. Most rug orders dispatch within one business day.
