Turnout Rugs For Heavy Horses
Having a heavy horse may present you with difficulty finding suitable horse rugs that fit. Due to the broader shoulders, chest area, deeper girth, and shorter backs, you may find that most rugs are too snug or tight, restricting their movement when they are out in the field grazing. Additionally, due to heavy horses being taller, many rugs may be too short, resulting in your horse looking like their wearing a mini skirt when they join their friends in the field! Fortunately, your heavy horse doesn’t need to be embarrassed anymore, because we have designed turnout rugs for heavy horses with a deeper body and plenty of space for wider chests, shoulders and that lovely round bottom! Like our other turnout rug collections, our heavy horse turnout rugs have been made from the highest quality fabrics and carefully designed to ensure that there is a variety of sizes, styles, weights and colours for you to choose from. What’s more, we have neck covers that are ideal for the typical thick muscular neck found in heavy horse breeds. So, wave goodbye to the days of struggling to find heavy horse turnout rugs that fit and now enjoy browsing our beautiful range of lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight turnout rugs for heavy horses, so you can wrap your heavy horse up and protect him from the harsh weather conditions.
Lightweight Heavy Horse Turnout Rugs
At Ruggles, our lightweight heavy horse turnout rugs are perfect for the heavier breeds, including the Clydesdale and Shire, and will save grooming time. For wet and windy days during the warmer months, these lightweight turnout rugs for heavy horses will help to keep your heavy horse clean from muddy conditions and protected from the elements.
Due to the 1200D waterproof outer fabric, which is also breathable, the additional Teflon coat that has been applied will ensure that water beads fall off the rug, and your horse won’t be left drenched in the field! This also means that the rug doesn’t get heavy from the rain, allowing the horse to still move freely and not feel restricted from the additional weight. The Heavy Horse No Fill 1200D Teflon Coated Turnout Rug comes with soft polyester lining, as standard, to help to prevent any rubbing, as well as a shoulder pleat and deep cut for extra comfort. Our Heavy Horse 50g 1200D V2 Turnout Rug has Velcro fastenings on either side of the wither protector, so you can attach the matching neck cover if you feel your horse needs more protection out in the field.
Middleweight Turnout Rugs For Heavy Horses
When the temperatures drop during Autumn and the beginning of Winter, it’s time to think about middleweight turnout rugs for heavy horses. We have a variety of patterns and colours to choose from, including our Heavy Horse 200g Middleweight V2 1200D Turnout Rug available in light delft blue with an orange binding and reflective strips across the hind quarters, tail flap and the chest, making your horse more visible when the weather is miserable. During the muddy conditions when your heavy horse rolls, if you want to clean your middleweight turnout rugs for heavy horses, all our rugs are suited for washing machines and even come in a zipped bag with handles, making it easy to store them in the months where they’re not required.
Heavyweight Heavy Horse Turnout Rugs
Keep your horse cosy and snug when it’s freezing outside with our heavyweight heavy horse turnout rugs. The larger tail flap on the Heavy Horse Heavyweight 400g 1200D Combo Turnout Rug with fillet string keeps the rug in place at the back and the elasticated poll helps to prevent any rain or wind from going down the horse’s neck, so the heat can be retained when your horse is out in the bitter, winter conditions. What’s more, the adjustable chest straps mean that you can make sure that the rug is fitted to your horse. In fact, we have a guide to measuring your horse that will help you choose the correct size for your heavy horse turnout rugs first time!
