EquoIQ 5.0 stable rug 300 gr with neck cover

EquoIQ 5.0 stable rug 300 gr are made to last for a long time and to be used for several seasons which also gives the benefit of being economic for the owner of the horse. Durable and long-lasting rugs mean you do not have to buy new products every season and you will be part of a healthier consumption.

Our blankets are developed and designed to fit all different types of horses, from very noble to large, rough horses.
Regardless of whether it is very narrow in the shoulder or has large, long and wide shoulder blades, the blanket can be optimally adapted to each horse.

Our rugs are more often being recommended by veterinary’s, osteopaths, masseurs and other people working with healthcare of horses thanks to the anatomical design and the great freedom of movement that the horse gets when using our blankets.

There are 7 cm between each D-ring which creates the ability to vary the shoulder circumference of the rug by 28 cm. The rugs are easy to put on and to take off with the quick fasteners placed at the sides. The open part below the fasteners ensures that the horse can move as freely as possible. Chafing and pressure are common problems for horses who wear rugs many hours a day, so we wanted to develop a rug that will provide the horse with as much freedom of movement as possible even when wearing a rug. The front part is then individually adapted to each horse depending on how narrow or wide the horse is in the bow. Total circumference to adjust around the bow is almost 30 cm, which is a lot.

Choosing the right size?
It is the length of the back that determines which size you should choose. Measure the length of your horse from the withers and back to the dock. The measuring tape should follow the horse’s back. That length is the correct size needed for your horse. If your horse have a different shape of the body you might need to take another size. For example: if the measuring tape measures 136 cm, you choose a blanket in size 135.

Fit the blanket correctly:

It is really important that the rug is not fastened too tight, because it would limit the horse´s movements and can in some cases cause the fasteners or D-rings to break. Leave about a hand’s width between the frontpart of the rug and the chest when you fasten it. The rug should look a little loose when it is on the horse. It should not get too tight when the horse lowers its head. This ensures the best comfort for the horse. There is a bracket for the wither protector at all rugs.

How warm a blanket should I choose?

Horses are much more patient than us humans, although they are individual too.
In fact, overheating is a more common problem than being too cold. If you have a hard time choosing between two different rugs, go with the cooler version.
