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.

More Information
If separation is occurring because of injury or rehabilitation away from the herd, the horse may need our Rehab Calm remedy which supports both the emotional and mental needs of confinement.
Oral remedies need to make contact with a mucous membrane such as the tongue, gums or lips.

DOSING
When To Dose
Separation Anxiety – Equine is professionally formulated to soothe an anxiety response that starts when other horses are being tacked up or prepared for travel. Start dosing as soon as the anxious horse realises they will be separated or left alone, then give a second dose just before separation happens. The effect of this remedy is cumulative, so you are likely to see improved results over 3-5 days.
How To Dose
When first using this remedy, dose twice a day for 7 days, then stop dosing and observe behaviour for the next 7 days. If symptoms are still present, repeat the 7-day dosing regimen. Once behaviour has improved, only dose on days when separation will occur. If behaviour is triggered again, start another 7-day dosing regimen.
90ml Pump Bottle Dose 2 pumps into the mouth or onto a treat twice a day for 7 days. For more nervous horses, pump a dose onto your finger and dab onto the horse’s tongue, gum or lips.
90 ml Pump Bottle = 230 doses (2 pumps per dose).
* This remedy is not suitable for adding to the water trough.
Bottles are food grade aluminium with a hygienic serum pump lid and over cap. Great for dosing on the go.
