Choosing the right rug for your horse can be very difficult. With lots of rugs on the market is not always easy to find the perfect rug for your horse’s needs. But we’re here to help you find the best rug for your horse. To determine what rug you should use, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a rug. Firstly, is your horse clipped? Secondly, is he stabled or turned out?
