The weight of the rug your horse requires is based on many factors. For example, whether your horse is stabled or turned-out, clipped or unclipped and the weather conditions. It’s important to remember that horses don’t feel the cold the same way we do, and putting a rug on your horse when it's not needed can cause them to overheat.
What weight is a medium turnout rug?
A rug weighing between 150-250g is considered to be medium-weight. This weight is best for low temperatures between -10-4℃. Fully clipped horses will need a medium-weight turnout rug at the 4℃ point, whereas unclipped horses will be fine with a lightweight turnout rug until the temperature drops further.
