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.
Made from our specialist Air-Tech ventilated neoprene the boots are highly breathable, minimising the chance of your horse's legs overheating. Velcro wrap-around straps make the boots easier to use & remove and contribute to the contouring action of the boot. A shockproof layer protects the leg against brushing or impact from strikes.
A quick and easy alternative to bandaging. Used by professionals in all sorts of disciplines including racehorse trainers, dressage trainers, dressage riders, event riders, polo players, carriage drivers and stunt riders. The outer loop back tricot is durable, easy to wash and allows for custom fitting.
Featuring a moisture wicking jersey lining that aids quick drying and has a soft hand feel, ideal for horses with sensitive skin.
Sports boots are anatomically designed and come recommended by vets for the purpose of supporting all major tendons and ligaments in your horse's legs. Jersey stretch binding has been incorporated that stretches with the boot for unrestricted adjustment.
Your Air-Tech Sports Medicine Boots have been carefully hand packaged in a complimentary, reusable zip-fastened storage bag to keep your tack room tidy when not in use and for easy carrying
