Stable Rugs Are A Tack Room Essential Item
Stable rugs are invaluable in being able to keep your mare comfortable; particularly, if you are a competitor and have removed her rugged Mother Nature’s coat for competition purposes.
Stable rugs are the most commonly used of horse blankets. Stable rugs come in fabrics of various weights, mainly cotton or cotton blends. Stable rugs are meant for indoor use, as they are normally not water or weather proof.
They come with both chest and stomach straps designed for both comfort and to keep them in place. Quilted stable rugs are used in extreme cold weather.
You should wrap horses in a number of layers of stable rugs… it’s more effective to use many thinner stable rugs than few thick ones.
Thin rugs provide more flexibility: you can remove or add them with ease depending on circumstances. Thick rugs can make a horse sweat leading to possible health consequences.
