Choosing the right winter rugs help to keep horses healthy, comfortable, and protected from the elements, which is essential for their overall well-being.
Benefits of rugging your horse during winter
- Keeping Warm: In cold weather, horses can suffer from hypothermia and other cold-related health problems. Winter rugs help to insulate the horse’s body and keep them warm, preventing them from becoming too cold and uncomfortable.
- Protection Against Weather Elements: Winter rugs also offer protection against harsh weather conditions such as snow, wind, and rain, which can be uncomfortable and unhealthy for horses.
- Preventing Coat Growth: Horses that are kept under lights to maintain their coat can start to grow their winter coat too early if they are not blanketed. This can make them uncomfortable and also limit their ability to be worked.
- Maintaining Health: Horses that are not blanketed during the winter months can lose weight and develop other health problems as their body uses up energy to maintain its core temperature.
