Stable Rugs

A stable rug, as the name suggests, is mainly used when the horse is in the stable. However, they are also popular for use during transportation and riding competitions, and can even, in a pinch, function as an under rug under an out rug or turnout rug. Here at Unamari, we design, produce and sell stable rugs in our own brands Catago and HorseGuard. You will therefore exclusively find the full range from these two brands on this page. Our many years of experience in rug design and continuous development are your guarantee of good fits and durable materials.

Why use a stable rug?

Many horse owners choose to put a rug on their horse or pony during the season. The thickness of the rug depends on the temperature and the individual horse's need to be protected against cold, wind, rain, snow, etc.

Changing the rug can be beneficial in several ways so that the horse doesn't wear the same rug all day long. When the horse is outside, it needs a tire that can withstand the current weather conditions and keep the horse dry and comfortable. However, outdoor rugs can become heavy and stiff from dirt and mud, or wet on the outside from rain and snow. Therefore, when the horse comes inside, it may be a good idea to hang the outdoor rug to dry, for example on a HorseGuard rug holder and instead dress your horse in a clean and dry stable rug.

The very routine of changing the rug gives you the opportunity to check the rug, buckles and straps for any damage, and the same goes for the horse. Is there a small scratch, wound or similar that needs to be dealt with before the horse is stabled? Our stable rugs are all made of durable quality materials, but they are not made to withstand the elements and are therefore light, soft and comfortable for your horse to wear in the box, taking into account that the horse can eat, rest, lie down and sleep with maximum comfort.

Stable rugs throughout the year

You may equate stable rugs with winter, but in Denmark the weather in both spring and fall can also be very variable in terms of temperatures and a stable rug may be relevant.

Many of our warmblood riding horses naturally have a fine and short coat, while others are clipped regularly - some even all year round. There are many reasons for clipping horses, but one of the main reasons is to avoid a long, wet coat that can take a long time to dry after exercise. A short coat makes it easier to keep the horse clean and the horse dries faster, reducing the risk of illness caused by cold and damp. It also makes daily handling more convenient.

However, a shorn horse requires extra attention when it comes to the use of rugs. It's important to take temperature fluctuations into account and continuously adjust the rug as needed, as the horse loses some of its natural ability to regulate its body temperature when its coat is clipped.

Here at Unamari we offer a wide range of stable rugs in different thicknesses. If you're ready to dive into our full range of stable rugs, you'll find them all here.

HorseGuard stable rug

In our Horse Guard range you'll find stable rugs in different models such as the Sophie stable rug with 100 g. and 300 g. filling. We also offer several models with a belly flap and 300 g filling. A belly flap gives your horse extra protection under the belly, which is otherwise not covered by traditional rugs.

Our HorseGuard rugs are produced in sizes from 115 - 165 cm. Which covers most sizes from pony to large horse.

Catago stable rug

Our Catago stable rug is a favorite with many horse owners, and in all modesty we dare say that it is with good reason. It's a nice, strong stable rug in 420 denier outer material. The rug is available in Catago stable rug 100 g, Catago stable rug 300 g and Catago stable rug 500 g.

The rug has an adjustable double front closure with gun hooks and D-rings, walking slit, cross tie, leg straps and tail flap. The lining of this rug is made of a smooth material that is gentle on the horse's coat. The rug also has an incredibly comfortable wide fleece collar that protects the mane and makes it extra comfortable for the horse.

The design is simple and timeless black with contrasts in gray, blue and brown, so the three thicknesses are easy to distinguish from each other. A true favorite, also at competitions - during transport, in the competition box, but also, for example, when waiting between classes.

These rugs are produced in sizes from 115 - 165 cm, covering the needs of a smaller pony to a large horse.
