Another popular category of horse rugs UK owners opt for is the stable rug, and as the name suggests, it is for use while your horse is stabled. These particular horse rugs are not waterproof and are not for outdoor use. These types of horse rugs are usually padded or quilted and come in a range of thicknesses to suit the various temperatures and conditions. They tend to allow the horse’s skin to breathe and help keep sweat and moisture away from the body.

Although horse rugs tend to get the most use in the cooler or rainier months, in the summer, certain horse rugs can prove essential for keeping your horse or pony comfortable. As a result, many horse owners invest in a fly rug. Fly rugs are designed to protect the horse’s skin in the summer and are lightweight to allow the skin to breathe, which is essential. Their primary use is to keep any biting insects at bay and stop flies from irritating the skin, ensuring your horse stays comfortable.

As well as keeping insects at bay, they can also protect from the sun, protecting light-skinned horses from getting sunburn, and darker horses coats from being bleached by the sun. They usually come in lighter colours to reflect the sun away and are made from breathable poly-cotton, often with mesh panels to allow air to flow through and keep your horse cool.
