Horse rugs are the ideal solution for the comfort of your horse. It also protects your horse from those bothersome flies and insects some of which can ultimately cause disease. The rug is an important factor to a healthy horse. Horse blankets is another name for a horse rug. Your animal will be dry and warm in different weather conditions and it will be protected. The horse rug will cover the horse from the chest area to the hindquarters. Under the abdomen are straps that will secure the rug into place allowing the horse to move at will without the rug being displaced. The standard rug ties in the front with two ties. There are other types that have a closed front and is fitted over the head of the horse. Others allow the rug to stay in place by having straps that tie around the legs in the back.
Any time of the year that you stable your horse in the stall or it is out in pasture you should be using a rug. A weatherproof rug, which can resist water, will keep it dry in addition to keeping it warm. If you are transporting your horse anywhere in the world a rug is ideal to keep it comfortable and safe. If you do not want your horse to grow a winter coat then a rug is the ideal solution. At the beginning of the fall season if your horse does not wear a rug it will start to grow a winter coat. However, if you keep a rug on your horse and keep it in a an area which is lit for 16 hours a day then it will not grow a coat to keep the cold away. But during the winter months since your horse does not have a winter coat then it is not provided with natural insulation so you must be sure to keep it covered with a rug at all times as it could get a chill and could be vulnerable to illness.
People may think that the rug should be a very tough fabric. The fabric should not be very strong because when the horse is caught on a branch or something stronger the material will rip instead of the horse stumbling or falling suffering major damage. Rugs come in all sizes, styles, fabric weights, and colors. There are rugs that are heavy, light, or very light ones called sheets that keep your animal clean. Rugs that are too thick could cause your horse to sweat, which is uncomfortable. Rugs that are too light may not keep the cold and wet at bay. A rug to guard from flies and other insects that would lead to illness is called a stable rug. This rug will additionally maintain cleanliness during its stay in the stable.
A horse with a clipped coat needs a turnout rug. This type of rug has a breathable material and is waterproof so will keep your horse pleasantly dry and warm or cool depending on the weather. Rugs are available in many densities in order to keep the horse comfortable whatever the weather or season. A turnout rug will also protect your horse from the rays of the sun, which will cause the coat to lighten or bleach. Obviously in the stall or out in the pasture rugs are beneficial.
Another rug is called the Mangotherapy rug. This rug is very practical before exercise in order to limber up the muscles. After exercise a cooling down period is needed and this rug is very advantageous. Since it increases circulation and reduces inflammation it is also beneficial speeding up the healing process when a horse is injured. There is also the under rug. This is used under other rugs to provide added warmth. Horse rugs for all seasons are your best choice to keep your horse happy and healthy.
A most important part of horse wear is the horse rugs designed to protect the back of the horse from rubbing and pressure points. These items also can be decorative and protect from extremes of temperature.
Should I clip my horse or not?
I’ve never clipped any of my horses before(but i’m a dog groomer so i’m sure i could) but I have a 13year old OTTB who is in training 4 days a week and with her thick coat she is getting very sweaty and it takes forever for her to cool off and dry so my trainer thinks that we should do a partial clip for the winter, i have a really good thick blanket for her, but i’m just not sure if i should clip her. This is the blanket i have for her(the heavy weight one) http://www.sstack.com/horsewear_turnouts_stormshield/stormshield-classic-euro-bellyband-turnouts/ I don’t have the neck cover tho. What are the pros and cons of clipping and do you guys think it’s a good idea? I don’t even think she is that fuzzy, but then again i’m comparing her coat to my 35year old arab/quarter horse and his hair is about an inch-2 long lol
I often just start with a trace clip; it’s not the most flattering, but it is great for allowing a horse to cool down more quickly, but not strip all the protective hair from those muscles that need to be kept warm.
Another advantage of doing that clip is that if you need to change it to a blanket clip or a full body clip, it’s pretty easy to do. http://horse-forum.net/2009/03/30/clipping-along-into-spring http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.eques.com.au/general/march2005/clip_two.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.eques.com.au/general/march2005/cliptips.htm&usg=__vPz9EZOC5-GEMQV9IYS5Pp6JfMc=&h=217&w=237&sz=12&hl=en&start=8&zoom=1&tbnid=glWCBV7bKgl1gM:&tbnh=151&tbnw=153&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtrace%2Bclip%2Bhorses%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1116%26bih%3D475%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C361&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=740&vpy=196&dur=4695&hovh=173&hovw=189&tx=120&ty=176&ei=VQnDTKq6N8qinAfc0djpCQ&oei=1QjDTPW1DIWclgf_9ZkD&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=9&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:8&biw=1116&bih=475
The Schneider’s blankets are my favorite. If you do a trace clip, you won’t need the neck portion. You can also do a blanket clip if you need to, and don’t do the neck. The downside of using a hood or a neck cover is that it will rub the mane, and that can be a real pain to recover from.
