Best Fitting Heavy Horse Turnout Rug
Many heavy horse owners struggle to find high quality turnout rugs that fit their horse properly and often deal with rugs being too tight in the shoulders, too restrictive in the chest with front closure fastenings being too high up which cuts into their neck and causes pressure and soreness over the withers, and are too short in depth often looking like a mini-skirt.
Just like you, as heavy horse owners ourselves we too struggled with these same issues.
Unlike other brands our heavy horse turnout rugs are designed specifically for broad chested, deep barrelled, big shouldered horses and ponies. We have created the best fitting horse rugs to eliminate these common issues whilst providing your horse with the maximum comfort, unrestricted movement and protection against the elements.
With our own unique size charts we have revolutionised heavy horse rugs to fit your horses anatomy correctly with a larger cut neckline to accommodate the broader chest, thick muscular neck and powerful shoulders. Chest fastenings strategically placed to accommodate the lower set necks of heavy breeds including cobs, shires, clydesdales, percheron’s, Suffolk punch’s, Iberian horses, European draft horses and more. Extra large shoulder gussets to provide your horse with unrestricted full freedom of movement. Extra rug depth so NO MORE MINI-SKIRTS! Supersized tail flap offering complete coverage for voluptuous apple-bottoms.
Say goodbye to ill-fitting rugs and upgrade your horses comfort and protection to a heavy horse rug that truly fits!
