I think absolutely all of us equestrians are counting down the days until the clocks go forwards (27th of March to be exact!) Dreaming of the warmer weather, less mud and beautiful summer sunset hacks! I must admit, being down in the south east of England, this winter was probably the nicest winter to own horses, very rarely was the temperature below 0 and the footing has been fairly dry! The fields are looking pretty good coming out of Winter.
At the moment we are at the very beginning of Spring and with this it brings some turbulent changes in temperature and weather conditions. With competition season on the horizon and lots more travelling with your equine friend in general, it can be hard to figure out what rugs to put on them. Constantly checking the weather forecast; That’s why we have hand picked some of our favourite lightweight rugs suitable for stabling at night, travelling to competitions or grazing in the field!
A classic style with vibrant new colours & designs! With 50g of fill this rug is ideal for when the temperature unexpectedly drops and it begins to rain. Best for: turnout during rain or overnight.
Brand new for the spring summer season this year! Combining the durable, high quality performance material of the Trojan Xtra range by Gallop Equestrian, with super breathable mesh side panels making it great for April showers when the flies are about! Best for: unpredictable spring weather.
This timeless summer sheet provides UV protection made from a breathable cotton material which reflects the heat – keeping your horse cool, calm and collected all summer long. Best for: dark coloured horses during hot weather.
340 plastic bottles are saved from going to landfill or even worse ending up in the ocean. Compared to traditional turnout rugs this rug uses 50% less energy to produce, go green! Best for: clipped horses stabled at night.

Sporty and smart this grey and lime green fleece is brilliant at wicking away moisture. If you’re looking for something to dry their legs too check out these Ruff and Tumble dog drying mitts (much easier than getting a towel sopping wet because you have dropped it on the floor!).
