Blanket Rug
Horse Rugs That Keep Your Horse Healthy
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.
A rug is the perfect answer to hinder the development of a coat during the winter. A horse will grow this coat unless you use a rug in the following way. At the beginning of the autumn season cover your horse with a rug in a well-lit area for sixteen hours a day. This will hinder the growth of the coat. However, since winter is very cold and your horse now does not have any way of isolating itself from the cold, you must be sure to blanket the horse at all times in order to keep the chill away and to maintain a healthy, warm, and dry horse.
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.
Usually used prior to exercising your horse to warm up the muscles is the Magnotherapy rug. Following exercise it is used to cool down the muscles. During periods of injury it enhances the healing process as it helps in circulation therefore reducing inflammation.
Those rugs used underneath a turnout or stable rug is called under rugs. They keep the horse warm when the need arises.
Horse rugs are the ideal solution for the comfort and protection of your horse.
