Horses do not feel the cold like humans, and rugging them unnecessarily can cause more harm than good. There are many factors to consider when deciding whether to rug your horse.
Why should I put a medium-weight stable rug on my horse?
-
Breeds with naturally thinner coats may require extra insulation, for example, thoroughbreds or Arabs.
-
Horses with a full clip lose the natural insulation from their coat, so rugging them helps compensate for this.
-
Underweight horses will require extra insulation as staying warm will expend more energy, which can cause further weight loss.
-
Old or unwell horses can find it difficult to regulate their temperature and maintain weight. Cold and damp weather may also cause pain in arthritic joints, reducing their movement and ability to create body heat. Therefore, a rug will be very beneficial.
