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.
The beautiful swirls of Activated Charcoal in our Chunky Charcoal Soap Block is well-known for its ability to absorb impurities and deeply clean, leaving your horse with exceptionally clean skin and soft shiny coats.
It is perfectly safe for use on absolutely any colour of horse, from Greys and Palominos right through to Bays and Blacks. Charcoal is not a dye so it will not colour them, but it will make their colours brighter and their whites whiter. Our Chunky Charcoal Soap Block even has our gorgeous Spearmint Essential Oil in it which helps to alleviate itchy skin so is great for most skin types, plus it smells amazing too!
Comes in a natural Hessian bag. Either use it in the bag and take advantage of the texture it provides to give a good scrub, or take it out to use and pop it back in and hang up to dry. The choice is entirely yours.
The charcoal we use is sustainably sourced in New Zealand.
