Horse Rug FAQs
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.
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.
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.

RUGGING GUIDE BY SEASON
When to Rug and Why
When the summer heat hits hard, your horse deserves more than just a rug — they deserve comfort that breathes.
That’s why cotton and poly-cotton ripstop rugs remain the go-to choice for Australian riders who want the perfect mix of cooling airflow, UV protection, and durability.
At Love My Horse, we design our summer cotton rugs to do exactly that — protect, cool, and perform through the hottest, most insect-heavy months of the year.

WHY PROTECT YOUR HORSE FROM INSECTS?
Insects can inflict painful bites and cause skin irritation, infections, or allergic reactions.
Some pests, like ticks, may carry debilitating diseases, while others, such as bot flies, lay eggs that hatch into larvae and lead to digestive issues. In a worst-case scenario, your horse could experience enough pain and stress to become agitated, risking accidents in the stable or on a ride.
