Horse Rugs

 

Horse rugs are an important part of your horses equestrian wardrobe, any horse worth its salt deserves a well fitting stable rug and turnout rug. However, which rug or sheet you choose is very much dependent on your horse's routine, breed and time of year, so at Dogwood we have assembled a fabulous collection of rugs for all seasons. Choose from superior name brands such as Bucas, Mark Todd and HKM for all year round comfort.

Turnout Rugs

The primary purpose of a horse turnout rug is to protect your horse from whatever the weather throws at it; so no matter how cold, wet or windy, the comfort of your steed is never compromised.  The seasons dictate the type of outdoor rug you choose, in the summer when you just want to protect from rain showers a lightweight turnout rug like the Bucas Sun Shower is all that's required, whereas in the winter when you want a more heavyweight turnout rug to protect against the cold as well as the rain a rug like the Bucas Power Turnout would be the one for you.

Stable Rugs

Stable rugs have to serve two purposes, the first to keep the horse warm and comfortable whilst in the stable, and the second, to keep the dust, muck and grime off the horse should it decide to roll or lie down. Dogwood's extensive range has stable rugs to meet and surpass all these requirements, ensuring that your horse has the best quality equestrian wear available with brands such as Bucas, Mark Todd and HKM.

Fly Sheets

Flies and midges can prove a problem for horses during the summer months especially for those that suffer from sweet itch so, at Dogwood we have gathered a fabulous range of fly sheets to keep your horse happy and fly-free all summer. From the Mark Todd Summer Combo fly sheet to the Bucas Buzz-Off Rain which is a fly sheet and rain sheet in one.

Sweat Rugs

Sweat rugs, coolers and fleeces are another summer essential, designed to prevent your horse from cooling too quickly after a heavy workout on a hot summer's day.  One of the most popular types of sweat rug are the Coolex Cooler; the waffle design has an innovative triple fabric layer that regulates temperature and draws sweat away from the horses skin onto the top surface of the rug.  Another popular design are fleece rugs, such as the Mark Todd Deluxe Fleece, which can be used both as a cooler as well as travel rug.

Summer Sheets and Show Rugs

Fly Masks and Fringes

Come the hot summer months flies can prove a real problem to horses and ponies.  Using fly masks or fly fringes can really help reduce the irritation when they're out in the field, and using crochet fly veils when at competitions also helps keep your horse at ease.
