The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.

This rug is a fantastic for on my big girl she has really big shoulders and as you can see a good roll it stays in place. My go to rug
Fiona H.5/5Verified
Unfortunately the first lot I got hadn't been waterproofed. 😔 However I sent photos to NZ tack exchange was organized that day the day after I got instructions for the exchange once I did my bit the covers turned up the next day which was impressive as I'm an RD address. These covers have only been on a few days but the girls are dry and happy 😁 I have purchased a few covers from NZ tack and this was the first time I've had an issue and I'm very happy with the way everything got sorted. Amazing customer service.
Tina F.5/5Verified
Only rugs that fit my clydie cross mare across the chest. Wouldn't use anything else.
Fiona M.5/5Verified
Love these covers on my boy
Taryn G.5/5Verified
This cover wasn't my initial first choice. The team at NZ Tack recommended it after the one I was after wasn't in stock anymore. This was my first purchase from NZ Tack and as always, was a little weary.
I needn't have been... these covers have been put through the works the last 8(ish) weeks. Total frost, wind, rain and some beautiful sun (but cold). These covers have stood the test every single time.
I am so surprised, but over the moon, to have found a cover that actually works for my horses. My youngster has a very forward shoulder but he's still growing so a bit weedy too. The shoulder and neck space are such a good fit for him.
Bonus that the team at NZ Tack were also so lovely. Their customer service was too notch. Definitely going to be buying from here again.

These rugs are best value for money, plenty of shoulder room for those big horses. They last the longest out of all the different covers I’ve had and I love the colour
Taniaspencer68 S.5/5Verified
Even though a Norwegian Fjord, my pregnant mare was shedding in July, then came the cold and rain. Existing cover too warm, the no fill one is perfect.
Cate T.5/5Verified
Sika's hoping to very warm and dry in this one. Blue is his colour !
Priyanka K.4/5Verified
My big 17.1 hand sb looked handsome in his new pj's. He's a long wheel base and needs room. This fits him great all over. Thanks team. Love your products.
Janelle T.5/5Verified
Love the Duke range for my boys.
Kendra O.5/5Verified
Great covers. Look very smart and fast posts
Lauren O.5/5Verified
This is the pink duke 200 which I purchased early June and now I have purchased the blue duke 50 g coming into warmer weather, love these covers they fit my Ella perfectly and also for my chunky monkey there are very well designed attachments on the front over chest to play with for the right fitting. Good service always speedy delivery.
Linda S.5/5Verified
Horse stayed dry over two days of rain, plenty of room in the chest, doesn't choke her when she puts down her head to graze. Good weight and keeps solidly in place. Since she's not a super built horse, I did have to put knots in the belly straps.
I would love to see a larger tail flap, but overall a great cover!
Amy D.5/5Verified
Perfect for my chunky monkey who lives on a windswept hillside with no shelter & loves to roll in the mud.
Hilary B.5/5Verified
Great fitting rug and Ted looks super smart! :-)
Lisa H.5/5Verified
I love love love the quality, and how well it fits on my horse. I refuse to buy anything but Nz tack because of this. I wouldn't say my horse is a rug ruiner, but he does put them to the test. I love that I can chuck it on and not worry about him getting soaked or being too hot, (as he runs quite warm.) I love NZ tack for the peace of mind I get putting it on my boy. My last season rug has taken a beating being left outside most of the time, and it still stood up to the test during these last two weeks of non stop rain and storms. 10/10 recommended these rugs. Not only are they nice bold colors, but they sit well (ie: no shoulder rub), and they hold up to pretty much anything.
Britt W.5/5Verified
Super impressed once again! Crazy wind and rain last night and totally he was perfectly warm and dry this morning 🥰
- wish you guys still did smaller covers!!
Emily D.5/5Verified
Tika loves her new jacket.
Sam D.5/5Verified
All set for the cyclone! All four of ours have these 50g covers they’ve been invaluable for the weird wet windy weather events we’ve been experiencing this summer.
Andrea S.5/5Verified
Love the 5ft 9. Fast delivery, good fit .. could have gone up one more size but my 17hh Clydie X pretty happy with it. Keeping the cold southerly off him. Thanks NZ Tack.
Linda M.5/5Verified
Love NZ tack covers on our chunky mare Mika. They are the only rugs that don't slip and rub her wither.
Great quality and fantastic service.
Jenny G.5/5Verified
Since our weather is all over the place and we are still getting frosts, thought it was time Emmy got a decent zero weight cover for those chilly nights. As you can tell, someone loves their new cover 🥰
Toni A.5/5Verified
Great fit
Ami H.5/5Verified
Really happy with the cover it’s a perfect fit thankyou NZ tack 💙
Kelly S.5/5
Love the option of rug only for horses that have thick, long manes like my 2yr old cob. I don’t want to but a combo or detachable when he already feels the heat under all that hair. Generous roomy fit that suits this build too.
Serena F.5/5
30 years old and still look good in my new fancy cover
Patricia P.4/5Verified

J V.4/5
I love the way that the rug keeps Jazz snuggly & warm ( even thou it’s a tad on the big size wise in some areas)
Pamella L.4/5
We use this 100g standard neck for a daytime rug on our fairweather girl through the winter and change her into a heavier combo for nighttime.
We have 4 horses and 7 of the nztack rugs in all different weights and combos!
Love them!!
Mary C.5/5Verified
Such speedy friendly service. Rug arrived two days later. Its a great fit with a decent drop and so light yet very cosy. Nod is clipped but snug in his new rug thank you!
