Why use a rug in summer?

Summer rugs are designed for use when temperatures rise and are an essential part of many horses' equipment. They are intended to provide optimal protection from the sun's rays, insects and wind, while ensuring good breathability and comfort. A good summer rug will help keep your horse cool and relaxed, whether it's during training, when stabled, in the paddock or during transportation.

Summer brings a lot of insects that can be annoying for horses. A summer rug can protect against the vast majority of insects. Even stinging insects are protected against on hot summer days. You can combine the rug with a fly mask to give your horse even more protection.

Benefits of summer rugs

Insect protection: Many summer rugs function as fly rugs and protect against annoying insects.

UV protection: For horses with sensitive skin or light coats, a UV rug can reduce the risk of sunburn.

Breathable material: Our modern summer rugs are made from lightweight, breathable materials that help keep your horse cool and dry.

Here at Unamari you'll find a wide range of summer rugs for different needs - from fly rugs to UV protective rugs, to different types of rugs in light breathable materials.

Different needs for summer rugs

Depending on the type and management of your horse or pony, the need for summer rugs for horses can vary. Therefore, it can also be beneficial to look into other rug options to make sure you're covering the right needs.

Cooler rugs

Cooler rugs are perfect for helping your horse cool down after exercise. They are made from breathable materials that absorb sweat and help regulate body temperature, ensuring your horse doesn't get too cold or injured by standing wet for too long.

Fleece rugs

Fleece rugs provide warmth and comfort for your horse during cold periods. They are lightweight and flexible, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. The fleece helps to wick moisture away from the horse's body, keeping it warm without overheating.

Rain rugs

Rain rugs protect your horse from wind and rain during bad weather. They are waterproof and designed to keep your horse dry and comfortable even when the weather is harsh. Rain rugs are available in different sizes and styles to suit your horse's needs and activity level.

Choose a rug that fits your horse's size and needs and make the warm months more comfortable for your best friend. In our range you'll always find a wide range of sizes from 115-165 cm and in some styles down to 95 cm, so even the smallest ponies can fit in.
