Winter rugs

As temperatures drop and the winter months arrive, horses need extra protection from the cold, rain and wind. A good winter rug helps keep your horse warm, dry and comfortable in the paddock and stable. At Unamari, you'll find a wide range of high-quality winter rugs designed specifically with the horse in mind.

What makes a good winter rug?

Just as we need winter riding jackets or riding gloves for winter, horses also need protection from the weather. A winter Rug should therefore do more than just cover the horse. It must provide optimal protection against cold, wind, rain and snow, while also being breathable so the horse doesn't risk overheating. A winter rug is both waterproof and breathable, so moisture from the outside is kept out while heat and sweat from the inside can escape. This means you can keep your horse dry and warm through the cold winter months, even when it's out in the paddock.

A Rug with lots of filling

When it gets colder outside, some horses need extra warmth. A winter Rug typically has more fill than other rugs and is therefore ideal for older horses, clipped horses or those that freeze easily. At Unamari, you'll find Rugs in different thicknesses, so you can choose the filling and variant according to your horse's needs and activity level. Conversely, a thinner Rug can be perfect for outdoor use in milder weather or for horses that already have a dense winter coat.

When to use a winter Rug for horses?

A winter Rug is typically used when the temperature drops below 5 degrees, depending on the horse's age, coat and whether it is clipped. If your horse spends a lot of time in the paddock, gets clipped or has difficulty keeping warm, a winter rug provides the extra protection it needs. In the stable, you can choose a lighter version to avoid your horse getting too warm.

Always keep an eye on how your horse reacts to the dropping temperature. Some horses need a thick winter blanket at 3 degrees and others need it at 7 degrees. It can therefore be very different from horse to horse.

Pony winter rugs

At Unamari you will of course also find winter rugs for ponies in different thicknesses and with a good fit. Ponies can have just as different needs as large horses, which is why we offer several winter rugs with a focus on both optimal comfort and function. All models are designed with fit in mind so that the Rug is stable - even when the pony moves freely in the paddock.
