Not all horses will need a rug during inclement weather as some hardy breeds with thick coats are capable of living outdoors throughout the year without rugs. Some of these hardy breeds often thrive better without rugs, as rugs can sometimes be a cause of skin irritation. However, where horses are of less hardy breeding, clipped or elderly they may require a rug to help keep them warm and dry during cold, wet weather or provide protection from flies. Turnout rugs will need to be removed when the weather (particularly temperature) improves.

Rugs and hoods should be of the correct size to suit the horse, of the correct type for the purpose intended and correctly fitted to prevent rubbing, hair loss, abrasions or restriction of movement. Rugs should be regularly removed so the horse’s body condition and general health can be checked. Ideally this should be done daily. Care should be taken to ensure horses do not become too hot as a result of wearing a rug.Rugs should be cleaned and, repaired if necessary and all fastenings kept in good working order. A spare rug should be available to allow a very wet rug to be dried out. Supervision.Horses at grass should be inspected at least once a day, preferably more often. Stabled or group-housed horses should be inspected at least twice a day. Particular attention should be paid to their gait, demeanour, feet, body condition and appetite so that early signs of disease, injury, illness or signs of parasites can be noticed and appropriate treatment promptly provided. Close examinations should also be conducted at regular intervals, ideally daily, in order to identify any problems (e.g. skin conditions) that may not be apparent from a distance.

Hooves of horses should be picked out daily and at the same time examined for signs of discomfort, wounds, injury, loose shoes, impacted foreign material or anything else unusual. Horses should be groomed regularly to ensure that the coat is clean, free from wounds or parasites and to detect rug, tack or harness rubbing. The frequency required will depend on your horse’s management regime and coat type.
