Waterproof Turnout Rugs Built for Whatever the British Weather Throws at Them.
A good turnout rug is one of the most important purchases a horse owner makes. It's the difference between a horse that comes in from the field dry, comfortable, and settled — and one that's cold, wet, and losing condition through the effort of keeping warm. With UK winters delivering everything from driving rain to unexpected frost, choosing the right rug for your horse's clip level, field conditions, and temperature range is essential.
Key Specifications to Understand
-
Denier (outer shell strength) – Higher denier means a tougher, more tear-resistant outer; 600D suits lighter use, 1200D and above is built for horses that roll, play, or live out in exposed conditions
-
Waterproof rating – Measured in millimetres; 1500mm is a minimum for UK conditions, 3000mm+ offers reliable protection in sustained heavy rain
-
Fill weight – Lightweight (0g) for unclipped horses in mild weather; medium (100–200g) for clipped horses or cooler temperatures; heavyweight (300g+) for winter turnout or horses that feel the cold
-
Breathability – A breathable lining prevents sweat build-up during active turnout, reducing the risk of chilling when the horse stops moving
-
Fit & fastenings – Adjustable chest clips, cross surcingles, leg straps, and tail flaps all contribute to a secure fit that stays in place through rolling and galloping
