Protecting the ones we love is very important. When the ones we love are horses we must consider the best options for protection. They often need assistance to stay dry, warm up and cool down. Horse rugs provide additional assistance when weather conditions become extreme.
Coverlets come in many different weights, colors and sizes. Most cloaks have clips and straps for added security. There are attachments from under the belly, between and around the back legs and around the chest. Using sheets, which are light weight, are perfect for the summer months and are effective in protecting your equestrian friend from insects. Heavier blankets are used during the brutal winter months to provide additional protection from rain, sleet and snow.
In order to keep your equestrian friend warm on harsh winter days, use a thick and heavy weighted fleece blanket. Many blankets have the added benefit of being water resistant or water proof. If you need even more protection, you may choose to add a neck cover.
There are many different types and styles of rugs and blankets to choose from. There can also be a difference in the weight of the fabrics used for this protection. There are stable, turnout, fly, water proof and cooling blankets as well as anti-sweat sheets. Each has a very distinctive use.
Stable cloaks can be provided to keep your equestrian friend warm when he is in his stall. Turnout coverings are best used when your animal is out in the pasture on a sunny winter day. Fly sheets are used to protect your animal from being bothered by flies during the summer months. Cooling rugs can be used to cool your animal's core temperature after a vigorous workout. There are many different types of coverlets to choose from depending on the need of your horse.
It is imperative that your horse be dry before blanketing. Placing a blanket on a damp animal can cause him to become ill. If he is damp, use an anti-sweat sheet to absorb moisture before placing a turnout or stable blanket on him. Make sure you remove the anti-sweat sheet first, otherwise the exterior blanket would hold the cold, damp sheet against him which could cause severe problems.
Blanketing an animal too soon can keep it from growing a winter coat. It is best to allow the winter coat to grow first. Use the blanket only when it is absolutely necessary. If you use a blanket too early in the season, your horse will have to wear it until warm weather returns.
Horse rugs are the perfect accoutrement for extreme weather conditions. Providing exceptional care for your equestrian friend is a top priority. Determine what size, type and weight will best fit your animals needs. Regardless of whether it is summer, spring, winter or fall there is a rug for every occasion. There is one additional benefit as well. They will look adorable wearing their winter jackets.
