Shires turnout rugs offer a number of benefits for horses, including protection from the elements, warmth, freedom of movement, and durability. If you are looking for a high-quality turnout rug for your horse, Shires is a great option.
Here are some additional details about the benefits of Shires turnout rugs:
- Protection from the elements. Shires turnout rugs are made from waterproof and breathable materials, which helps to keep your horse dry and comfortable in wet weather. The waterproof outer layer will prevent rain from soaking through to your horse's skin, while the breathable lining will allow moisture to escape, helping to keep your horse cool and dry. The reflective strip on the back of the rug helps to make your horse more visible to motorists and other riders in low light conditions.
- Warmth. Shires turnout rugs are available in a variety of weights to suit the different weather conditions. The thicker rugs will help to keep your horse warm in cold weather, while the lighter rugs will provide a more breathable option for warmer weather. The fill in the rug traps heat, helping to keep your horse warm. The rug also has a water-resistant outer layer that will help to keep your horse dry in wet weather.
- Freedom of movement. Shires turnout rugs are designed to be comfortable and allow your horse to move freely. They have a wide range of adjustable features to ensure a snug fit, and they are made from materials that will not restrict your horse's movement. The adjustable chest straps and surcingles allow you to get a perfect fit for your horse, while the deep shoulder gussets give your horse plenty of room to move his shoulders. The tail flap is also pleated to allow for more movement.
- Durability. Shires turnout rugs are made from high-quality materials that are designed to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. They are also machine washable for easy care. The outer layer of the rug is made from a durable ripstop fabric that is resistant to tears and punctures. The fill in the rug is also durable and will not easily break down. The rug is also machine washable, making it easy to keep clean.
