We all know how important it is for riders to wear the correct equestrian gear when riding or working around horses, but what you may not realise is that horses sometimes need protective garments too. Horse rugs are essentially coats that cover a horse’s body to protect it from various things. Particularly useful when a horse is out in the field, horse rugs can be used to protect the horse’s coat from mud and other debris, or to keep the horse warm during cold winters. There is a huge range of different horse rugs, and each has a different purpose. This versatility can be seen by the fact that there are horse rugs to keep horses cool in summer, as well as warm in winter. For this reason, horse rugs are hugely popular and are used all over the world. One of the most well-known and respected brands is by Mark Todd - a range that offers the rider the perfect solution to a variety of horse rug needs.
