☀️ Upto 70% UV Protection
The harsh Australian sun can be just as damaging to your horse as it is to you. That’s why Love My Horse summer rugs are designed with up to 70% UV protection, shielding your horse from harmful rays while keeping them cool and comfortable.
Why UV Protection Matters:
Prolonged sun exposure can lead to sunburn, skin irritation, and even long-term damage in horses. Just like people, horses are vulnerable to the cumulative effects of UV radiation.Extra Care for White & Light Horses:
Horses with white or lightly pigmented coats — especially around the nose, face, and legs — are far more prone to sunburn. Our high-UV block fabrics provide the peace of mind that sensitive-skinned horses are protected during the brightest summer days.
✨ With upto 70% UV Protection, you can relax knowing your horse is safe from harsh sun damage while still enjoying airflow and comfort in the paddock.
Many of our rugs across mini, standard, and Clydesdale sizes are designed with UV-treated fabrics to help reduce sun exposure.
UV Protection Horse Rug FAQs
❓ What does UV protection in horse rugs mean?
UV protection in horse rugs refers to the fabric’s ability to block a percentage of harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching your horse’s skin, helping reduce sunburn, irritation, and long-term sun damage during turnout.
❓ Is up to 70% UV protection enough for horses?
Yes. Up to 70% UV protection significantly reduces harmful sun exposure while still allowing some natural UV light to reach the skin. This balance supports comfort during turnout while allowing normal vitamin D absorption, which plays a role in overall equine health.
❓ Which horses benefit most from UV protection rugs?
Horses with white or light-coloured coats, pink skin, or sensitive areas around the nose, face, and legs benefit the most, as they are more prone to sunburn and irritation.
Dark-coloured and show horses also benefit from UV protection rugs, as reduced sun exposure helps prevent coat bleaching and colour fade, keeping coats darker, richer, and show-ready.
❓ Can UV protection horse rugs still be breathable?
Yes. Love My Horse UV protection rugs are designed to balance sun protection with airflow, helping keep horses cooler and more comfortable in hot summer conditions.
❓Will UV exposure break down the fabric of my new horse rug?
No. Love My Horse rugs are made using fabrics that are treated for UV resistance, helping slow down fabric breakdown caused by prolonged sun exposure. This UV treatment is designed to extend the life of the rug, maintaining fabric strength, colour, and performance during regular outdoor use.
Care note: To maximise the lifespan of your rug, we recommend storing it out of direct sunlight when not in use and avoiding long-term exposure to harsh UV while in storage.
Designed to protect both your horse and their rug, Love My Horse UV-treated fabrics deliver reliable comfort and durability for Australian conditions.
