Foal Rugs

Foal Rugs

Foal rugs are specialised rugs designed to provide comfort, warmth and protection for young foals as they venture outside for the first time.foal rugs They are crafted with soft, gentle materials that are sensitive to the young horse’s skin, helping prevent any irritation or discomfort while also keeping foals warm and cosy. Foal turnout rugs are especially useful as young horses become accustomed to outdoor temperatures and weather conditions, protecting them from temperature fluctuations, colder air and other harsh elements.

The Showcraft Foal Rug is an ideal choice for foals and features plenty of adjustment with a wide hook-and-loop front fastening and adjustable velcro chest strap to enlarge the rug to accommodate a growing foal.foal rugs Its silk-feel lining helps keep the foal warm and comfortable while its waterproof 600 denier ripstop outer is water-resistant and breathable, keeping the young horse dry and healthy. It also offers medium warmth with 200g of polyfill.

Stable rugs are a sensible purchase for stabled horses, particularly in winter, as they help protect against colder temperatures and dampness while still allowing the horse to breathe freely.foal rugs These rugs are usually made from smooth material to ensure that shavings and straw do not stick to them, while some feature cross surcingles for a good hold. If you have a horse in a horse walker, an exercise rug or a light summer wicking rug, it is important to pay attention to the closures as well. If the horse is often put in a wicking rug to cool down after exercising, it is better to choose one without surcingles as they can become a trip hazard if they hang down onto the ground. If the rug is used for long periods of time in the stable, however, a combination of cross surcingles and leg straps will ensure a secure fit.

Sweet itch rugs provide extra protection against sweet itch, and are recommended for horses that tend to react very strongly to stings.foal rugs These rugs enclose the majority of the body with elastic inserts and a generous belly flap, protecting the horse from the stings and preventing them from reaching its sensitive skin. They can be combined with a fly protection rug to offer complete protection from both sweet itch and insects, and are available in both lightweight and heavywheight versions.
