Product Details
Finding a turnout rug that genuinely fits a broader horse can be a challenge. The Epic Essential No Fill Turnout Rug in Red is designed specifically for horses with broader chests, bigger shoulders and thick muscular necks — cut with a larger neckline, lower chest fastenings and extra large shoulder gussets so the rug sits correctly without rubbing the shoulders, pulling tight at the chest or digging in at the neck.
With no filling, this is a lightweight waterproof rug for all year round use — reach for it on mild, wet days when your horse needs to stay dry but doesn't need any extra warmth. The 1200 denier ripstop outer and 5,000mm+ waterproof rating with added membrane provide reliable protection in all weathers, and the breathable antibacterial lining keeps your horse comfortable underneath.
To give your horse more coverage there is an option to add a detachable neck cover.

Highly-rated turnout rug designed for broad-fit horses with exceptional fit praised by customers. "Perfect fit for broader horses" with ample shoulder room, deep coverage, and chest accommodation without extenders. Customers reported excellent waterproofing, quality construction, and true-to-size fit for draft breeds and cobs. One minor concern: lacks fillet string option.
Love it! Great fit!
Hooray a rug that fits my ID! Plenty of shoulder room, fantastic depth to hide his tummy, a long tail guard to keep the rain out and back legs well covered. He is warm inside with 0g! For a horse who loves to roll the rug never slips. Should have bought one years ago! Love the colour purple!!
Die Decke passt super.
This is George our therapy horse, he’s shire cross. Bought a 7ft no fill rug as he does get warm & works outdoors all weathers. Brilliant fit and excellent quality. Will be purchasing more and would definately recommend
I’ve a Dales mare who I’ve had since a foal and now she’s matured I’ve struggled to get rugs that don’t rub her mane out or her shoulders and though this is yet to be used it looks to be a comfortable fit and very well made.
This rug is perfect for my boy it fits his plus size body shape so well, especially his big neck with him being entire. Its also fabulous that his long mane looks as it did when I put the rug on, even after 12 hours wear its knot and tangle free. Ive never had this with a rug before, wish I'd have bought sooner
I love that I have found a brand of rugs that fit my cob so well! And they are such great quality. He’s definitely getting a whole new wardrobe!
Perfect fit for my 16.1hh IDSH - I usually need a chest extender with other branded rugs. Extremely happy with quality. True to size. Would highly recommend & will buy again.
Very good quality. I recommen.
Endlich eine die was passt 😅 war nicht so einfach.
Bin sehr zufrieden 👍
Perfect fit for our big Boulonnais:) size 7'6
Really pleased so far, fits nicely around the shoulders and nice long sides. He keeps braking the straps on his rugs from
Other brands when he rolls, hopefully this better fit from the broader range will stop this. Happy a 5’9 fits him, as he’s only 14’2!
Beautiful rug,fits my shire perfectly,best rugs I've ever brought would highly recommend.
Beautiful fit, stunning colour. Always amazing quality.
Just want to say a huge thank you for finally enabling me to find a rug that fits my horse. He’s only 16 hh but has such a huge neck and shoulders I struggle to find rugs that fit. The stable rug was so great I also ordered him a turnout rug. Thank you so much!
This rug fits my tank of a cob beautifully. The sizing is just perfect.
Love these EPIC rugs for my boy (17.2 shire-cross); the broad fit accommodates his chest and bottom; longer should darts allow for great movement and no rubbing on his shoulder point; depth of rug comes down nicely past his belly and gives good protection and coverage. I recommend these rugs to my friends with big chested horses as an investment
Very nice, fits perfect makes a change she doesn’t look like she is wearing a mini skirt, beautiful red colour rug, excellent communication and prompt delivery.
Good quality and fit
Amazing quality Amazing fit super fast delivery, i will never use any other rugs for my big girl now, id give 10 stars if i could!!
Ich bin eher zufällig über the Big Horse Shop gestolpert…
Seit 23 Jahren habe ich Shire Horse und ziemlich genauso lange das Problem optimal passende Decken zu finden.
Ich habe in Anlehnung an die Maßtabelle mein Pferd vermessen, die entsprechendene größere bestellt, und was soll ich sagen, die erste Decke überhaupt die ich aufs Pferd lege und die wie angegossen passt, Zudem Super Kundenservice, einfacher Bestellprozess im Shop, Versand nach Deutschland innerhalb 4 Tagen, das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist auch völlig in Ordnung, ich bin begeistert und ab sofort Stammkunde! 👍🏻
Excellent quality for my Irish draught who needed a light rug after having an Irish clip
This rug fits my horse’s shoulders perfectly. I have tried a few rugs previously which have all needed a chest expander but this rug still overlaps perfectly with buckles to make adjustments. Did not need to size up either.
Kept my horse nice and dry during heavy rainfalls as well. Would highly recommend
Second order from the Big Horse shop. As described, true fit, deep skirt, really well made. You do pay a little more than the standard 'off the shelf' smaller size rugs but in my opinion it is worth every penny. Will definitely order again.
