Turnout Horse Rugs for Heavy Horses & Ponies – Perfect Fit for Big-Shouldered Breeds
At Epic Equestrian, we understand the struggle of finding a heavy horse turnout rug that fits correctly. Our turnout rugs are specifically designed for broad-chested, thick-necked, and apple-bottom heavy horses, ensuring maximum comfort, durability, and protection. Unlike standard horse rugs, our designs accommodate the unique build of Traditional Cobs, Irish Cobs, Shires, Clydesdales, Belgian Drafts, Percherons, Irish Draughts and other heavy draft breeds.
We offer a complete range of lightweight, medium weight, and heavyweight heavy horse turnout rugs, each crafted from 1200 denier ripstop waterproof fabric with a soft antibacterial, antistatic lining. All our rugs feature extended filling coverage, providing superior insulation and warmth during colder months. Our detachable neck covers are designed to fit thick, muscular necks, offering added versatility for all weather conditions.
Available in sizes 5’9 – 7’6, our turnout rugs come in Broad Fit (for heavy breeds) and Regular Fit (for standard horses and ponies). Whether you're looking for a premium heavy horse turnout rug from our Epic Classic range or a budget-friendly option from our Epic Essential collection, we have the perfect solution for your horse. Visit our blog post to learn more about the differences between these ranges.
Lightweight Heavy Horse Turnout Rugs – Perfect for Milder Weather
For autumn and transitional seasons, our lightweight heavy horse turnout rugs provide essential protection without overheating. Designed for big-shouldered horses, these rugs are ideal for horses that don’t require heavy insulation but still need coverage against wind and rain.
Our lightweight range includes 0g to 100g turnout rugs, such as the Epic Classic Lightweight Turnout Rug with Teflon™ coating for dirt & water resistance and rug liner system attachments for adjustable layering. For an affordable alternative, our Epic Essential Lightweight Turnout Rug offers a simple, effective solution without extra frills.
To minimise condensation build-up, we recommend a light-filled turnout rug like the Epic Classic 50g Turnout Rug or the Epic Essential 40g Turnout Rug, which provides a breathable barrier between your horse and the rug.
