Im making a list of all the stuff ill need when i get my horse and im doing rugs atm.

The horse will be stabled at night and out during the day.

How does this rug list look.

1 winter combo(300g fill)

1 winter combo (180g fill)

2 cotton rugs

1 under rug/combo(wool or polar fleece)

1 cooler rug

I live in the ACT weather ranges from -5-35 degrees depending on the season.

Also can horses wear outdoor rugs in the stable or do i need a stable rug?

  1. My horse lives in the paddock and has one rug for the winter and he is fine and it gets down to 1 degree overnight here.

    But of course it depends on the horse and what you are doing with it.


  2. The temperature stays pretty warm (at least above 30) around here in the winter so I only have 3 blankets (1 thick blanket, 1 thin/rain sheet, and 1 stable sheet). Anyway...., I put the outdoor ones on Jazz when he is in a stall at a show without a problem. The list looks pretty good and if you need anything really thick you could double up the two winter ones a time or two without a problem.

  3. I have no idea about your weather but I have a full neck rug as a main winter rug ( I am in the UK).

    They can wear an outdoor rug in the stable - it's fine, actually it makes more sense (as long as the rug is dry) to leave your horse in a warm rug instead of taking it off just to put a different rug on.

  4. i live in canberra as well and i own a thoroughbred.

    there isno reason why you cant have an outdoor rug on your stabled horse in the stable. the only difference that i can see is that a stable rug is made of cotton and there for isnt water proof. that list of rugs looks good. i personally have

    2 winter combo 300g fill with neck rugs

    1 winter combo 180 g fill (without nek rug)

    1 under rug.

    3 canvas rugs

    1 summer rug.

    1 stable rug.

    so yeh ur list looks good.

    gud luck with you horse
