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.

Warranty
Warranty Claims
Blundstone take great care in the manufacture of their products. If you believe the footwear you have purchased from our website contains a manufacturing fault, and wish to make a claim under this warranty, you must return the footwear (at your own cost) to the place of purchase for assessment. You must also have your original receipt and make this claim within six months from the date of purchase.
If, following such assessment, we determine that the footwear contains a manufacturing fault that renders it unsuitable for the purpose for which it was originally purchased, we will replace or repair them at our expense.
This warranty is void if you have used the footwear in a way that has caused damage to them beyond normal wear and tear. This includes, without limitation, the exposure of the product to caustic materials that may cause the footwear (or parts thereof) to break down.
Applicable for New Zealand only.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under New Zealand Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Any benefits you receive under our 30 Day Comfort Guarantee and our 6 Month Manufacturer's Warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies that you may have as a consumer under a law in relation to the footwear to which these warranties relate.
NOTE: Hydrolysis (deterioration through moisture) can occur when PU is stored or used in warm climatic conditions. If stored for an extended period, footwear should be kept in air-conditioned premises. Failure to observe these precautions can lead to premature deterioration. The date of manufacture is marked on the end of the box.
Always dry wet footwear at room temperature.
The materials used in certain products have been designed with a “pre-worn” look. Because of this, all pairs are unique and will continue to change during use.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
STEP 1 - Foot length
The best way to do this is to stand barefoot on a piece of paper and mark where your longest toe ends. (Fig 1)
Measure your foot length in millimetres from the back of your heel to the tip of your big toe (Fig. 2).
Repeat this step with both feet, and use the largest measurement to calculate your Blundstone size from the chart above.
STEP 2 - Trying them on!
When you receive your boots, try them on while you’re wearing the socks or stockings you will typically wear with your boots.
Ensure you’re standing up, and try them on a carpeted surface so the bottom of the boots are protected.
Unisex sizing
All Blundstone lifestyle boots come in a unisex size - even our women’s heel boots. To find your size, use the “Adult unisex sizes” chart above.
