Coolers and Fleeces

Coolers and fleeces enable your horse to cool down after exercise in cold weather and without catching a chill. These rugs are fashioned from moisture wicking textiles which draw moisture away from the skin and direct it towards the surface of the rug where it then evaporates. The sheets are designed to allow air to freely circulate so your horse can dry out naturally. Meanwhile, the rugs insulate your horse so their temperature does not drop too rapidly. Coolers are also extremely useful if you travel with your horse. They will help to keep your horse clean in transit but without them overheating.

Sheets

At Equi supermarket we offer a comprehensive range of horse sheets. Exercise sheets are worn whilst you ride and cover your horse’s hind quarters. They will protect them from the elements and high visibility styles enhance safety on the road. Stable sheets provide additional insulation in the stable and help to keep your horse clean. Summer sheets protect your horse from the harmful rays of the sun. This prevents their coat from fading but without the risk of overheating.

Stable Rugs

It is unwise to leave your horse in the stable whilst dressed in a turnout rug. The rug could be damp which is unpleasant for the horse and also means that you can’t clean and dry the rug. It is best to invest in a stable rug which provides a warm and dry alternative.

Turnout Rugs

Just as a turnout rug is an unwise choice for the stable environment, so a stable rug should not be used outdoors. Stable rugs lack the required waterproof layer for wet weather. Turnout rugs are fashioned from technical fabrics which are robust yet breathable. They wick sweat away from your horse whilst providing valuable insulation against the cold. Horses vary in their ability to keep warm and so turnout rugs are available with a variety of fills.

Under Rugs

From time to time your horse may benefit from an extra layer. An under rug provides extra warmth on the coldest days and prevents your horse’s turnout rug from rubbing.

Horse rugs are available in several sizes and to suit every horse. It is important that you choose the correct size as this will ensure that your horse has the freedom of movements it needs and that the rug will not slip.
