Gallop Equestrian Stable Rugs

About

Which Gallop stable rug does my horse need? Pick your Gallop stable rug by fill weight and by how much of the horse it covers. A 50g or 100g rug takes the chill off a mild autumn night, 150g to 200g suits a typical clipped horse through a British winter, and 300g is for hard-clipped or thin-skinned horses in a cold, draughty barn. If your horse rugs up over the neck and shoulders, choose a combo or a rug with a neck set rather than a standard cut. Stable rugs are indoor rugs — they are not waterproof, so keep a separate turnout for the field. In a hurry? Mild nights, unclipped horse: 50g–100g fill. Clipped horse, average UK winter: 150g–200g fill. Hard-clipped, cold barn, poor doer: 300g fill. Horse that gets cold over the topline: combo cut or a rug with a detachable neck cover. Size: measure from the centre of the chest to the point of the buttock and round up to the nearest 3in.
