Horse comfort in the stable through the seasons

An unclipped horse, kept dry and out of the wind, copes well with the cold in his winter coat. A rug becomes useful when he is clipped, elderly, struggles to hold condition or lives out without shelter. In the stable, a stable rug such as the Horseware Rambo 400 g keeps him warm without a waterproof outer. In the field, you need a waterproof, breathable turnout rug, such as the Amigo Ripstop 900D or the HKM models with neck. Weights and sizes are detailed on the page for horse rugs.

Checking under the rug

Slide your hand under the rug, behind the shoulder. If the skin is warm and dry, all is well. Damp or flattened hair signals a horse that is too hot: switch to a lighter weight. Remove the rug at least once a day to brush and check the shoulders, withers and hips, where it rubs. The HKM chest protector limits rubbing at the front, and the Amigo HFI chest extender gives more room to broad-shouldered horses.

Flies in summer

The fly mask covers the eyes, sometimes the ears and the end of the nose. The HKM Lissabon and the Amalfi are worn in the field, whereas the HKM Sports fly veil and the Equiline fly mask are used during work. Remove the mask every day to check the eyes and clean it. The whole range is gathered in the fly masks.

Legs at rest

After exertion, travel or during a few days of box rest, stable bandages applied over bandage pads protect the legs and keep them warm. They are applied evenly, without tightening, and redone every day. Prima bandages, the HKM fleece bandage, bandage pads and stable boots are kept with the stable bandages.

Frequently asked questions about horse comfort at rest

My horse stays in the stable: does he need a rug?

Not necessarily. An unclipped horse in a closed but well-ventilated stable often does without a rug. If he is clipped, elderly or feels the cold, a sheet or stable rug is generally enough. Adjust the weight to the temperature of the stable and check under the rug every evening that he is neither too hot nor cold.

How long should the fly mask be kept on?

For as long as the horse is out during fly season. Remove it at least once a day to check the eyes and clean it: a mask left on for several days in a row ends up rubbing and trapping dust against the eye. Also check that it does not touch the eyelashes.

What is a chest protector for?

It is worn under the rug and limits rubbing on the shoulders and chest, where the coat wears first. It helps horses that are rugged all winter or whose skin marks quickly. Before fastening the rug, check that it lies flat and without creases.

When should stable bandages be used?

After hard exertion, for travel, or when the horse has to stay in the stable for a few days. Apply them over bandage pads, with even tension and without tightening, and redo them at least once a day. If a leg is hot or swollen, ask your vet's advice before bandaging.

How is a rug delivered?

We dispatch within 48 hours, by Colissimo or Relais Colis, anywhere in France. Delivery is free on orders of €150 or more. You can also collect the rug free of charge from the Saint-Lô shop and ask us for advice on sizing at the same time.
