Horse Rugs

Looking for a high-quality tire? Then Unamari is the right place for you. We know all the situations you're in where a horse rug is a big help. That's why you'll find a wide range of top-quality rugs to help you and your horse in rain and sleet, against insects and heat, and much more. Take a look at the selection and find the best horse rug for your horse.

What is a rug - and why does your horse need one?

A rug is an essential piece of riding equipment that protects your horse from cold, rain, wind, insects and sweat. A good horse rug ensures not only comfort but also health - whether it's used in the stable, in the paddock or while riding. Horse rugs come in many varieties, each with a specific function depending on the season, temperature and your horse's needs.

When to use a horse rug?

A horse rug is used depending on the weather, activity level and situation. In winter you may want a fleece blanket to help retain heat, and in summer you may want a blanket that protects the horse from insects and helps to effectively wick sweat to keep body temperature down.

Find the right horse blanket

Finding the best blanket is about understanding your horse's needs, the season and when the blanket will be used. If you're looking for a great selection of quality horse rugs, you've come to the right place. However, consider factors such as fit, breathability, filling and, not least, where your rugs will be used. This will help you find a new rug that meets your horse's needs.

The most popular rugs

When it comes to quality rugs, there's plenty to choose from at Unamari. We stock all types of rugs from the popular brands Catago and Horse Guard. Many of our horse rugs come with various features that make it easier for you to meet your horse's needs. These include standard and removable necks and liners that allow you to control the amount of filling. In addition, several of our horse rugs also come with our popular Catago FIR-Tech technology.

Turnout rug

A turnout rug is ideal for use in the paddock where horses are exposed to changing weather conditions. It is constructed from durable and waterproof materials with good breathability to keep your horse dry and comfortable even when it rains. Turnout rugs are available in several thicknesses with fillings from 0g to 500g, making them suitable for spring, fall and winter.

Turnout rugs

Turnout rugs are intended for indoor use in the stable and focus on warmth and comfort rather than waterproofing. They are often made with a soft inner material that minimizes the risk of abrasion to the coat and pressure points at the shoulders and withers. They come in many thicknesses and are well suited for winter use or for clipped horses that need even warmth in the stable environment.

Rain rugs

A rain rug is a lightweight, functional and waterproof outer rug without filling that provides the horse with protection against rain, moisture and wind. It is typically used in transition periods and in summer when thermal insulation properties are not needed. Effective waterproofing combined with breathability is key to avoid the horse getting clammy under the rug. Many raincoats have adjustable buckles and good shoulder slots for optimal freedom of movement and fit.

Cooler rugs

Cooler rugs are used after training, washing, riding or competition to relieve moisture and sweat and ensure a gradual cooling of the horse. They are made from technical fabrics that effectively wick sweat away from the body and into the outer layer. This prevents cold shock and muscle tension and is incredibly effective when it comes to slow and controlled cooling of the horse. This makes them an indispensable part of riding gear for active horses.

Fleece blankets

Fleece blankets are used after bathing, training or transportation and act as a sweat-wicking and heat-retaining layer. The soft fleece provides comfort and is breathable, promoting efficient drying. They can also be used as an extra layer under another rug during cold periods and as a stride rug when warming up the horse.

Summer rugs

Summer rugs protect the horse from heat, sun and annoying insects during the hottest months. These rugs are lightweight and made from breathable and UV-resistant materials to keep your horse comfortable in the paddock, during transportation, training or when stabled. They are often available with extra protection at the neck and belly and can be combined with insect masks for full effect.

Insect blanket

An insect blanket, or fly blanket, is made of tightly woven, fine-mesh fabric that protects the horse from stings and bites from flies, midges and other annoying insects. It typically covers large parts of the body and often includes the neck and withers for maximum comfort. It is ideal for use in the paddock during the summer and can be vital for the horse's well-being.

Sweat rugs

Sweat rugs are used after activity to wick moisture away from the body while keeping the horse warm as it dries. They are often made from fleece or mesh materials and prevent the horse from cooling down too quickly. A good sweat rug is breathable and has a fit that prevents chafing or slipping.

Pony rug

A pony needs the same protection as a horse, but requires a pony rug with a perfect fit. A pony rug must take into account the shorter back and different neck shape so the horse doesn't suffer any wear or discomfort. If you need help finding the right horse rug for your pony, we're here to help.

Multiple rugs provide flexibility in everyday life

It's a good investment to have multiple rugs so you can change depending on weather, activity and season. Having an extra rain, stable or sweat rug can be the difference between comfort and illness. When it's raining one day and hot the next, it's important to be able to combine and adapt the rug to the situation.

How to choose a high-quality rug

A good horse rug should fit properly without chafing. Look for adjustable buckles, good fit over the withers and robust material. Breathability, waterproofness and durability are crucial factors. Some covers can be combined with liners for flexibility in terms of thickness and season. We have more than 20 years of experience in the production and design of horse rugs, among other things. So never hesitate to contact us if you need extra help choosing a horse rug.

Frequently asked questions

When to put a rug on?

It depends on the weather and the horse's coat. A clipped horse typically requires a rug at lower temperatures, while an uncut horse can go longer without. Also consider wind, moisture and the horse's well-being.

Which rug fits what temperature?

It depends on the fullness of the rug. Summer tires typically have 0-50g fill, transitional tires 150-200g, and winter tires 300g+. Liners can be used to customize according to temperature and needs.

How to measure correctly for a rug?

Measure from the middle of the chest over the side and to the tail root. Choose the cover that matches the measured length. A correctly measured fit ensures that the horse can move freely and safely.
