Epic Essential 40g Turnout Rug - Broad Fit

Perfect for mild but dropping temperatures, this lightweight 40g turnout rug offers your heavy horse an ideal balance of insulation and breathability. A light layer of fill helps prevent the build-up of internal condensation, which can otherwise give the illusion of leaking particularly on warm-bodied horses.

Crafted from premium-quality fabrics and fittings with a high waterproof and breathability rating, this rug is part of our budget-friendly Epic Essential range providing everyday protection and comfort without compromising on quality.

Alongside its performance outer, each Essential turnout rug includes a waterproof membrane for extra defence against the elements, helping to keep your horse dry and comfortable in unpredictable spring or autumn weather.

For a secure and customisable fit, the rug features twin chest buckles with adjustable quick clips, low cross surcingles, and removable, adjustable leg straps.

Our Epic Essential turnout rugs are also finished with an antibacterial and antistatic treated lining to maintain coat health and shine, attachment points for a detachable neck cover (sold separately) to boost protection during rain, and a supersized tail flap designed for the classic apple-bottom.

As part of our exclusive broad fit range, this rug is tailored specifically for horses with big shoulders, muscular necks, and deep barrels, eliminating pressure points and giving your horse the freedom to move naturally, comfortably, and safely.

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!

• Machine washable at 30 degrees
• Dry naturally
• We recommend removing excess mud after each use to help increase the longevity of the waterproofness and breathability

Model: 17.2hh heavyweight Irish Draught wearing a 7’0 Broad Fit and requires a Large broad fit neck cover.

This item is true to size we recommend choosing your horse’s usual rug length.

If your current rug fits well in length but feels tight at the chest, try the same size in our broad fit.
If you’ve sized up to gain chest space and ended up with a rug that’s too long, go down a size in ours.
