❤️ Horse Rug FAQs

How do I measure my horse for the right size rug?

To get the best fit, it’s important to measure your horse correctly before choosing a rug.

Place a tape measure at the centre of the chest and run it along the side of the horse to the end of the rump, following the curve of the body.
Compare this measurement with the Love My Horse Size Guide to find the correct size.
If your horse is between sizes, choosing the next size up usually allows for extra comfort and freedom of movement.

What type of rug does my horse need for the Australian climate?

Australian weather varies greatly, so choosing the right rug depends on the season and conditions.

Lightweight cotton or mesh rugs are ideal for hot summer conditions and airflow.
Waterproof turnout or combo rugs are best for colder, wetter months.
For mild or in-between seasons, a light rainsheet or hybrid offers rain protection without overheating.

How do I care for my horse rug to make it last longer?

Proper care helps extend the life of your horse rug and maintain its performance.

After each season, remove loose hair and dirt before washing.
Hand or machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent if needed.
Avoid fabric softeners and harsh chemicals, as these can damage waterproof coatings.
Always air dry in the shade to preserve fabric strength and colour.
Store rugs in a cool, dry place with leg straps fastened to prevent tangling.
