Rug Fill / Weight Guide
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.
Bee Kind Natural Beeswax Polish All Purpose Leather Preserver
Our All Purpose Leather Preserver is used to protect and enhance saddles, riding boots and gear by horse riders and competitors across NZ & internationally. A 100% natural Beeswax and Carnauba wax formulation with pure essential oils of Eucalyptus & Tea Tree - to waterproof, soften, preserve, & feed leather keeping it soft, nourished & durable. Eucalyptus & Tea Tree are antimicrobial and antibacterial so they naturally inhibit mold and mildew and prevent leather and stitching from deteriorating. Beeswax and Carnauba wax are natural lubricants and protect leather from harsh elements, forming a protective wax barrier on the surface of the leather so durability is increased.
There are no neurotoxic petroleum by-products, no solvents, turps and no artificial fragrances in our homemade special recipes. Every ingredient is renewable, 100% biodegradable, non-flammable and earth-friendly. Create a healthier home and use a product that is safe for your family, your health, and the environment.
Easy to apply: Just softly wipe on with a cloth! You can use your hands without fear of harshness or toxicity to your skin. Leather is a skin with fibers and pores, that requires proper natural lubrication and needs to breathe. Because leather no longer has a body to provide proper natural oils, we must provide these oils for it. When applied to leather, the wax deeply penetrates the surface, coating each individual fiber with a balanced application of natural oils making the leather much softer. This wax revives older leathers that have become very hard, brittle and dried out.
Great for any leather used in the outdoors to protect from water, mold, mildew and dampness, great for vinyls, footwear, clothing, saddlery and harness equipment, leather lounge suites and upholstery, handbags, belts, motorcycle leather, boots, leather jackets, leather purses, leather wallets, leather bags and any old brittle leather that needs restoring and reviving.
We guarantee you will be very impressed at the impeccable finish and the long-term benefits of using this quality superb wax.
