A rug is one of the best ways to keep your horse warm during the winter months and protect them from harmful UV rays in the summer, as well as keeping flies and other insects at bay.

Finding the right fit is vital for a horse’s comfort and well-being. If it is too big, it could pull back and expose them to the wind, rain or sun. Too small and the rug will restrict movement and may irritate the skin.
