Author Name: Nick Morgan

Horses can be very sensitive │vulnerable to the elements of the environment, and if human beings need clothes for protection, so do horses. Horse rugs are what as the horses' clothes. They are designed to keep the horses safe and warm especially in the cruel winter months. After all, they feel cold too. They would also need some heat to get through the freezing days and nights.

There are various │ different rugs for horses available on the market today. Each rug has a special purpose. For instance, a lightweight one lets the animal cool off without catching a chill after a good galloping outside, while a heavy piece is great │excellent in keeping the horse cozy even in the coldest months. If you have a horse and you are interested in learning about different rugs that may suit it, here's a good rundown:

Fly Sheets

Made from mesh-like weaved materials, fly sheets are great │ fantastic for your horse during the summer because it protects your pet from insects as it grazes on the grass outside. Horses that have light colors can get an added from these sheets because they prevent sunburn. Bear in mind that sunburn is no small issue because it could eventually lead to skin cancer. The more you protect your horse from getting burned by the harmful UV rays, the more you shield it from having the fatal disease.

Summer Sheets

These sheets also protect your horse from insects during the summer. Their main difference with fly sheets is their materials. They are made from light cotton and are thicker than fly sheets.

Stable Rugs

These rugs are to be worn by horses in the stable. They are not waterproof and should not be worn outside. They come in three different weights: lightweight (have as much as 150 grams of filling), medium weight (have between 150 and 300 grams of filling), and heavyweight (which have more than 300 grams of filling). No matter how much filling they have, these rugs are made of breathable materials so perspiration can easily │ simply evaporate without causing any discomfort to your four-legged friend. In order to hold this blanket in place, cross surcingles and fillet string are used.

Rug Liners

These rugs as what they are called—rug liners. Made of lightweight stretch materials, they are the ones you make your horse wear under │ beneath another rug which is classified as heavy duty. These liners serve as extra protection against chaffing of your horse's skin. They can fit in areas which are likely to get chaffed like the chest and the shoulders.

Turnout Rugs

These rugs can be used all throughout the year. They come in all sorts of materials and weight. The light ones are great for the summer while heavier and waterproof pieces are perfect for the colder seasons. When buying rugs like these, you have to make sure that they are big enough to cover your horse down to the belly. They must fit well and not slip. If they do, they may cause chaffing.
