Rain Rugs

When the weather changes from sun to rain in minutes, a good horse rain rug isn't just nice to have - it's a necessity. Whether you have a pony, an active riding horse or a sensitive type, the right rain rug will help keep your horse dry, protect against moisture and provide optimal comfort.

Why you need a rain rug

A good rain rug helps keep your horse dry, protects against the cold and prevents moisture from penetrating the coat and causing discomfort or cold shock.

When the weather is changeable and breathability and freedom of movement are still needed, an unlined rain rug can be the perfect choice - especially if you want to use a rain rug during periods when extra warmth is not needed.

A rug that is tailored to your horse is an investment in both well-being and health. With us, you'll find a wide range of raincoats in different colors, thicknesses, and functions that cover everything from training to fold and play.

Rain cover 50 grams

A 50 gram raincover is ideal when the weather changes between sun and rain. With a light lining, it provides the necessary protection against moisture and cold without overheating the horse. It's perfect for spring and fall when a thick winter rug is too much but the horse still needs to stay dry.

This type of rain rug for horses combines low weight, waterproofness and good breathability, ensuring both freedom of movement and comfort - also during training. Available in several variants, including pony rain cover and riding rain cover, you can find the perfect rain cover for your horse's needs.

Pony rain cover

A pony rain cover is designed with special consideration for the pony's proportions and needs. Ponies and small horses often have a different body structure than larger riding horses, so they require a rain rug that fits correctly and provides optimal comfort without restricting freedom of movement.

The right fit is essential to avoid wear and irritation, especially when the pony and horse are playing or moving a lot in the paddock. A correctly sized horse rain rug with adjustable buckles and elastic details makes it easy to customize the rug to each horse's needs while helping to keep the horse dry.

How to choose the right rain rug for your horse

When choosing the perfect horse rain rug, it's important to consider both the horse's needs and the changing weather conditions. A good choice will ensure your horse gets the right protection, comfort and durability.

Consider the following before investing in a rain rug:

• Fit: A good rug should follow the horse's shape without being tight or slipping. Adjustable straps and good cut-outs at the shoulders and neck increase freedom of movement and comfort.
• Waterproofing and breathability: Always choose a rug with high waterproofing and breathability to keep your horse dry without getting damp from the inside.
• Lining and filling: Consider the thickness of the filling - for example, a 50 gram rain rug for transitional weather or an unfilled rug when only light protection is needed.
• Intended use: Will the rug be used for training, folding, or as a riding rain rug? Function and cut should match the application.
• High quality and material selection: Materials with a durable surface and strong seams extend the life of the rug and make it easier to maintain.
• Size and target group: Remember that ponies and small horses require special adaptation. Also look for combination models like rain and insect rug for flexible use.

When and why you should use a rain rug

Using a rain rug is not just about keeping your horse from getting wet. It's an important part of ensuring comfort, health and well-being.

Here are typical situations where a horse raincoat is beneficial:

• When the weather changes quickly between sun and rain and you want to keep your horse dry in the paddock.
• After clipping, when the horse needs extra protection against cold and moisture.
• Training and riding in the rain, where a riding rain cover protects under the saddle.
• In transition periods, where a lightly filled cover helps regulate temperature.
• When ponies and small horses are out in unstable weather.

Rain covers for horses are perfect for keeping your horse dry. At Unamari, you'll find several different horse rugs that can help you and your horse in many different situations. That's why you'll only find top quality raincoats with us.

How a raincoat helps keep your horse dry

A well-functioning horse raincoat is designed for one thing above all: to keep your horse dry, even when the weather shows its most challenging side. The best rain rugs combine advanced waterproofing with effective breathability, keeping moisture from the outside in while allowing heat and steam from the inside to escape. This means your horse stays dry without getting clammy or overheating.

To ensure this, quality rugs use durable materials with high water column pressure, taped seams and strong closures. This prevents both rain and wind from finding their way under the rug, even when the horse is moving, rolling or playing in the paddock.

By actively using a rain rug throughout fall, winter and spring, you reduce the risk of colds, muscle tension and discomfort - while helping your horse maintain a stable temperature and dry coat. It's not just a practical solution, but an essential part of professional riding gear for both pony and riding horse.

Maintenance and lifespan of rain rugs

After use, remove mud and hair with a soft brush. If the tire is wet, hang it to dry in a place with good air circulation - never directly on a heat source as this can damage the waterproofing. At the end of the season, we recommend washing the cover according to the manufacturer's instructions and storing it dry and clean.

Avoid frequent machine washing unless necessary. It can weaken both the waterproofing and the seams. Use a special impregnation to maintain the waterproof effect, especially if the cover is used frequently in heavy rain or wind.

Check buckles, stitching and lining regularly to make sure the cover is performing optimally. Also, make sure the fit still matches the horse's needs as horses can change shape over time.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your horse dry, extend the life of the rug and ensure optimal comfort.
